SMH, the only good news is the Texas series is over. These next two weeks are big. After the Twins, the Indians have a 4 game series with the Yankees (gulp), and then they meet up with the Tigers, who are on their way to catching the Indians. Since Jobu was already posted, maybe this video will bring us some luck. Some of the players sure could use the advice:

Tribe takes 1 out of 3 (on a 2-1 win), and the offensive problems continue

Well checking in after a long time away from the OC......The Tribe is obviously in a slump right now, but EVERYONE goes through them, no time to jump ship and get pisssed...this team just needs to play .500 ball and we will all be happy in September. 
Good to be back! Go Tribe!

Maybe we needed your Karma back. Just noticed the Tribe started sucking ass once you stopped posting in the threads.

We need to win 2 of 3 from the Twins, because the Yanks n Tigers series will be brutal. Gosh I hope this team gets back on track.

The Indians will feast on the twinkies pitching!! They are the (fat woman's) slump buster.

2 of 3 is needed. 3 of 3 would salvage things going into the Yankee series.

been thinking about a somewhat radical lineup idea...santana batting second in between brantley and cabrera? he does have the second-best obp on the team (behind hafner), so it might give droobs some more potential rbis. a double play risk, sure, but you have that now anyways with fucking ocab in the two hole.
something like:
brantley
santana
cabrera
sizemore
choo
laporta
buck
phelps
hannahan
(kearns and cabrera demoted to ball boy down each foul line)

Seems like the Tribe are able to pwn the Yankees once a year, would be nice if this upcoming series was our once a yr against them.

The good news is Tomlin is pitching the opener tonight, and the Twins may have a worse offense than we do. The bad news is we suck at everything right now, so it's a wash......

Who would have thought we'd be saying this at this point in the season?

Hopefully Tomlin can be our stopper tonight. Gotta get this one tonight to start the series off on the right foot.

If you can't bounce back against the Twins, you can't bounce back...

+1, this should be a good measure of the Tribe.

I'm willing to give "el sucko" a break because of his being intrumental in earlier wins and his leadership. Hopefully the team meeting will get him back to that. Tonight's game is crucial, as a win will help calm the storm.
