Figured I'd just do one thread for the whole series to try to reduce clutter.
Seattle comes in having just fired their coach and reeling from a disappointing season. Here's hoping the Tribe can use that and maintain their lead for 4th place in the Central.
Go Tribe!

Lol my reign lasted about as long as Rosie O'Donnell's last diet. Ah well I gave it the ol' college try.
Frankly the lack of offense, while not surprising with all the injuries we've sustained, is a little disconcerting. Struggling to score against bottom barrel teams like Baltimore and Seattle is never a good sign.

Not making excuses, but this type of stuff happens to young teams.
The Tribe just got done playing GREAT ball against the teams over .500, but have since went 1-3 against two of the worst in baseball....
These ups and downs are expected with the youngest team in baseball.. The offense is also missing Carlos Santana.

Great ball against teams that are over .500?
That's funny.

Indians down early 1-0. Mitch Talbot is on the mound tonight. Offense continues their struggles thus far.

Right, still early. I'm glad to see NCF fan back to help keep it interesting. I wish more would not give up and at least chime in. Go Tribe!

Josh Bard with a grand slam. Following a Russel Branyan home run earlier in the inning.
Chupamos.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I'll just root for Bard to get a triple on this game, for The Cycle. Bring on the Browns.

Tribe falls to the Mariners 9-3. Not much positive to say about this game or this recent stretch of losses the Tribe has had.

You may want to check the stats... I think the Tribe was 15-13 in their last 28 against teams .500 or better.

From July 5 until the Baltimore series we played 31 straight games against teams over .500 and went 15-16 in those games. Not to shabby for a team 21 games under .500

Right, because you look at everything negatively regarding the Tribe. STFU.
For a team who is 20 games under and also the youngest in baseball, to go 15-16 in 31 games against .500 teams or better, is GREAT in my eyes.

Matt LaPorta just made two AMAZING plays at first base with the bases loaded to get out of the inning...

King Felix is a beast. Hard to believe the Ms have been as bad as they are considering they started the season with him and Cliff. Similar to the 2008 Indians with Cliff and CC.
I guess one of the worst offenses of all time will do that to you though.
