I stopped by the parents' place today for lunch, and the crowd is BAD. I was there on Easter and the crowd is probably a third of what we had (my guess was 7k tops on Sunday, they announced 10,500)

Shit weather, shit game time, and shit team will do that. I can't wait to see the "official" attendance, it should shatter last year's record low of 8600

If you are Travis Hafner, at what point do you say, "Fuck it!" and start juicing again?

In his next contract year. Where is the incentive now? He has all this guaranteed money rolling in no matter if he hits or not. A failed drug test and he loses 50 games of pay. Wait until he is in his contract year..start juicing. Have a great 1st half and the Tribe will trade him to a contender who he can then try to squeeze one last contract out of. At least that would be what I would do.

The Indians are like a car crash to me. I know I shouldn't watch. It's horrible and its going to make me sick. But I just can't help it.

Tribe loads them in the 3rd but Santana grounds out to 3rd to end the threat.

4-1 still.

Between ABs I guess.


Oh, and sacrifices are the dumbest thing in the world. Fuck that.

Every time we pull close we just lob a couple slow ones over the middle of the plate. Can't keep it close.

After years of getting punished by Konerko we finally learn our lesson.

What was the reason Masterson didn't start that inning?

I mean he is your ace, you don't let him go out and try to get through the 6th and hope the offense can get him off the hook?

Maybe they should figure out how to pump heat out of that Jet Engine they put on top of the ballpark.

Why can't we play well against 75% of Major League Baseball. We always suck vs them.
