Ad slogan changes from "What if?" to "What the ****?"

Time for CALI/FLA to get on here and tell us that we are only 17.5 games out, and we still have 30+ games to play, many of them against the CWS...

20th time since the ASG they have scored 2 or fewer runs.

Five games have been competed this evening and four of the five teams were shutout.

Texas and Darvish lead the Rays 1-0 in the 8th.

Lotta goose eggs on the board tonight.

There's just no more words.

OHHHHHH, there are plenty of more words.............

There are at least 5 players on this team that do not belong in the major leagues but I will not fault them. It's not their fault we are in this mess.

At the game tonite, I could not stomach the last 3 innings. They start a lefty & we go with Kotchman at 1st, Lillibridge at S.S. & Donald at 3rd & Duncan in right. Why no Marson or LaPorta. What a way to shake a young pitcher, than to not have better fielders to back him up. Bring up the guys from Columbus, they would as cheap as Oaklands lineup.

Make that five games in a row.

Well, how about that if we go 18-15 the rest of the way we will avoid a 90 loss season?

And if we go 8-25 we will avoid a 100 loss season?


We are in a total nose dive and no one in the organization seems to have a clue or care about the importance of pulling up.

I do not want Cleveland Indians Fans to have the collar of another laughing stock season.

I want to pull up.

I'm not a pilot, but I once had a goal of getting a pilot's license before work put me on airplanes about 40 weeks of the year for 15+ years. I only wanted the pilot's license to easily See The USA, but after seeing the USA via business travel and frequent flier miles I lost interest and passion for getting the license.

I did take some flight lessons, and had the controls many times with instructors and friends who had planes.

In flight lessons, at least from my instructors, one of the first things taught is how to recover from a stall and techniques to deal with a nose dive.

In flying, the FAA is pretty icy in judging a poor dead pilot who did not successfully recover from a stall. In all fatal accidents, the FAA issues a report.

If a pilot dies in a stall, the FAA will note that it was his own fault on knowledge of how to fly, or else blame the equipment he deemed worthy to take up.

Right now this team is in the equivalent of an airplane stall and dive and we are all banking on Mark Shapiro or someone he hired to figure out how to avoid 90 or 100 losses.

If I had a plane that was stalling out and going into a nosedive every time I used it, I would certainly change some if not all of the parts.

I'd like to see Gov Chris Christie as general manager of the Indians for ONE year.

The Indians shook up the roster on Wednesday, recalling right-hander Jeanmar Gomez from Columbus and designating Shelley Duncan for assignment. Cleveland also claimed lefty Scott Maine off waivers from the Cubs.

Joe Mauer placed on trade waivers.

95 % of MLB players have been placed on trade waivers.

Looking for a nibble.
