this roadtrip has been a disaster…yes, 3-4 isnt bad, but when u choke in all 4 losses, it hurts….joe smith, no paycheck for you this week….did u really just come on in the 8th and do jack squat?

excuse me, but why is tomlin allowed to stay in the game in the 8th inning?….ok, give him one batter….max…why turn it over to pen with guys on 1st & 2nd no outs?….acta, u stink….there’s no reason without competent management this team isnt 10 over.

I really have to start out by using a bit of today’s street jargon and saying “i’m bad”. I really don’t know what that means other than the obvious. I shut the Indians off last night in a disgusted frame of mind. What kind of fan am I? Fair weather? for sure, but when you see your best player come unraveled and start kicking the ball around it doesn’t take us fair weather fans long to start grumbling and dispensing some pleasing to the ears cursing. I did and it serves me right to have missed the best part of the game after retreating to my bed in the sure knowledge of another Indians meltdown. Meltdown? a good word for Texas, 107 degrees. They really did need that victory and they got it. KIPNIS, I think I am learning to love that name.

I did not have a chance to read this story till today but listen up Cleveland fans lets all appreciate the fact that we are in a pennant race this late in the season. This means one day we will feel like our season is over.The the next day the team will turn the tables on Texas, and Victor Martinez will get hurt. We are splitting series with Texas and Boston! The games we lost were very winnable. I love watching Indians baseball in august with intensity and passion. We will be facing the tigers soon and if that doesn’t help down the stretch we face a lot of below 500 teams like KC, Oakland, and the twins. Don’t forget Choo is taking batting practice and Sizemore will be back. So to sum it all up enjoy the ride while it lasts and to use the most over used baseball phrase ever “It Ain’t over till it’s over.” Let’s go tribe!!

Have to be honest, I thought Michael Young was going to hit a 3 run HR to win the game for the Rangers………I am concerned about our closer…….In the last 9 outings he has given up an average of a run per apperance. I give the tribe hitters credit, a 4 spot in the ninth!

I’ve put off commenting until I felt more generous with my words for the wasteful lacsidasical tribe. No that’s not fair but I guess I will feel that way when we need a run and Manny, the nice guy, lets Austin K waddle up and do his usual KKK, while our 14 million dollar man ‘rests’ from his previous days labors.

Oh nuts I’m just angry as you can tell and not too coherent. Later I may do better. Go Tribe.

i find it hard to give hafner too much credit….we are paying him $14 million or something like that….and not to hit .300, but to drive in runs….i dont think i’m shocking anyone by saying since he got off the juice he’s been injury prone and noticeably weaker driving the ball….and clearly he doesn’t play the field so that’s a big budget hole for a one dimensional player….i’ll tell you who i havent seen a lot of that impressed me is jason donald…he just looks like a gamer….and i like his aggressiveness….kipnis has grown on me, but i’m pretty sure my grandmother has a stronger arm….he reminds me a little of bret boone in his look/demeanor…..i’m rambling…time to start the coors light intake so i can stomach tonights game….go tribe!
