My bad, Hits will clear it up....I thought it was you and him. Anyhow, I thought it was funny in our misery!

until our offense shows a little consistency, i'd think a high school team was going to take two of three

Actually....if I remember correctly, Hits was the only one who "dug into" my claim....and was the only one who supported me. Now...if I still had a memory, I could tell you what it was all about. LOL.

Really?

Even with some inconsistent offense the Indians are the best team in the MLB?

Way to swing that bat Hafner.

I hate when guys leave the bat on the shoulder for 3 straight strikes.

One good year and their heads expand. Either way, taking two of 3 in one regular season series doesn't make you the better team.

well, we will see what the tribe is made of now....till the all star break. I think I heard that 12 of their next 19 series are against winning teams.

Wes, the Tribe just had a 12 game stretch where they faced 7 of the top 20 era pitchers in the AL. We went 7-5 during that stretch.

We're also very close to that "40 game" magic mark that people love to judge a team by. Baseball, more than most sports entails that you are, indeed, what your record is.

what is everyones opinion on Sizemore trade talk? Reghi and Roda was discussing how it is getting close to the time to make a decision on him. I guess he has a club option for next year.

And.no, there is no actual rumors of him being traded....just radio talk.

Although Brantley looks like a stud this season.

Kid is going to be a player.

Most overrated thing in sports. I would much rather watch what a team has done the past week to see how they are playing. Who is to say the teams in 3 series will still be over .500, or the teams who ARENT wont be over .500??

I agree...I think.

He is good when he is healthy, but he may be a tough one to resign after next year.

Not if he keeps hurting his vagina.
