Oh, the Reds have been equally as listless. After stringing together 10+ games of 10+ hits, they've scored like 5 ER's in the last 30-some innings.

And it comes with the finger.

Saw that the other night when someone posted the shirt for Gilbert's kid. Looks good.

Living in the St. Louis area I am pumped that our Tribe is in the position to help out the Redbirds. The White Sox games were bad, but no harm was done to our lead over the Tigers and Royals. Redbirds are in KC this weekend, so the two teams can help each other.

A couple Brandon Phillips stories, to remind the Indians fans of that great trade!! :D

I'm sure most everyone knows about this one:

This one shows that BP was the same guy before he was ever a star:

lol
It's a sign of appreciation from Phillips that even a St. Louis Cardinals fan has to love.

Great stories about Brandon! I'm going to forward them to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, because there is no way the folks in St. Louis have heard those stories. There is a great deal of animosity between the two teams but this shows that Phillips is really a good guy. Must have been his time with the Tribe that instilled the nice stuff, lol.

Hafner is out 3-4 weeks per Jordan Bastian.

Taking a look at the schedule, Reds, Red Sox, Rays, Blue Jays, Rangers. Indians are about to be tested majorly.

BRF checking in for the "superstitious" thread!

Valbuena sure had a short stay. I heard that Choo gave him a ride back. ;-).(I know, that's low.)

Anyhow, despite the recent unpleasantness.....Go Tribe!

Gonna be a tough few weeks without Pronk but it will be a good test to see how this club responds. We knew we were going to be hit with some adversity at some point and we're going to have to fight through it. Should be a good series hope we can take 2 of 3.

Go Tribe!

They just said this, but Ill say it again. Choo and Santana have to pick up their batting averages now with the injuries mounting.

Fuck this. Toughest stretch to date, and we are without our MVP. Hopefully Grady comes back hot again.

Oh for Christ's sakes. When will the injuries stop? Is this the curse coming?
