Now THIS thread is for posting rants about the Tribe, especially since Art Modell aka Capone posted on here.

Now we are cooking with gas! BTW, both teams are twenty games under at 49-69, but we up still 1-0 in the 4th.

Welp, we lost 2-1 and fall back into the basement. On a side note, Art Modell makes a post to help keep this thread off of FFT's "Worst Threads" list! Ahhhh, the life of a Tribe fan.

I have to admit i've not been watching much lately. I actually opened this thread to find out who won. I guess I'm not completely apathetic:)

Tough one for Gomez. He's still been one of the best surprises of the season for the Tribe.

So we play well against good teams...suck against Baltimore, Seattle and Kansas City

Excuse me while I bang my head against the nearest hard object.

Outside of a 4 game sweep against Detroit (who is 8-23 since the all-star break), the Indians really didn't play that well against the 'good' teams either. I know good is relative, but 9-11 hardly qualifies as good baseball for any team.

We still have 11 games left against the Royals after tonight though, so plenty of basement battles still to come.

On the positive side Brantley has looked pretty darn good since coming back.

I would argue that 9-11, against the teams we played (Yankees, Rays, Rangers all post-season bound, plus the Red Sox) and considering our talent level, isn't too shabby. Now if we were good, or even decent, we would do that against really good teams and then beat up on bad teams. We can't do both, and that is why we are 22 games under .500

And I won't argue about that, grodt. Who's pitching for us tonight? Or a better question might be, who cares?
