Comments on: When it Rains… http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=5451 A CLEVELAND INDIANS BLOG FROM THE ESPN SWEET SPOT NETWORK Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:41:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: SeattleStu http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=5451#comment-4692 SeattleStu Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:57:55 +0000 http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=5451#comment-4692 but seriously, it’s hard to come down too hard on our bats today as we’re being shut down by francisco liriano, one of the more attractive trade deadeline arms…..whoops, he got traded already? oh, then it’s long reliever duensing in a spot start making us look sad?….

and today’s rant from seattle is on manny and masterson…both of whom in recent days have been quoted saying how there’s no need to panic, we’ve been below .500 before etc….am i the only one who wants a manager/team that aspires to being ABOVE .500, and worry that they’re jobs are in jeopardy if we dont get there? i want some fire. i want people to feel a sense of urgency. if not, why the hell even bother putting the uniform on? especially in today’s world of every kid gets a trophy / 1/3 of teams make the playoffs. Can you at least pretend to have some passion just to make me feel better, guys?

but hey, at least santana is hitting .286….wait for it…two….eighty…six….do you realize how sad it is that we’re celebrating that?
