Good interview on the radio yesterday with Acta. He said he knew they were hanging on by a thread. The stats showed the were not as talented as their record showed while still in the race. The starting pitching was 2nd to last in the league while being 2nd to last in walks.

How they were at and above .500 for so long is a miracle.

I still say they did the right thing by not selling out for 1 player or 2 players before the trade deadline. They're nowhere near close enough to do that yet.

Tribe wins!! Good job of coming back tonight.

Is it just me, or does Perez seem to have lost that "edge" he used to pitch with?

Never figured Lilibridge would hit like he did tonight.

Lillibridge is the hero of the game as he raises his BA to .202.

McAllister goes 8 innings for the win and Tweeter Perez gets the save.

That's why he was our marquee trade deadline acquisition.

I wanted them to sell Choo and Perez...if the deal was right. Hopefully, they unload them in the offseason....unless they are going to add pieces(lol...yeah right)

Hey Chief, Glory Days posted that video on the Twins thread.

It's pretty cool, though.

So nice to have Tomlin in the pen to come in and mop up the recent messes.

Indians now at -108 run differential for the season which is third worst in all of baseball. Wow.

We're going to leapfrog Oakland and Tampa bay in average attendance after today.

Luckily the next 3 series are on the West Coast and we can just sleep through it.
