I think the Indians were actually still in the lead in the Central. By like 2 games. But dont quote me.

And Hunter Pence has us in the playoffs that year...

Yeah, ubaldo had a good half year....the fucking year before and was garbage ever since. No idea what the front office was thinking. And I agree about the playoffs that year

Lol....my bad!

Also, no idea how the front office wasn't replaced after this move considering the cliff Lee trade and even the cc trade

Obviously the Indians are just paying tribute to the Boston Marathon victims by letting the Sox run a train on them.

Why are you all so hard on Ubaldo? The guy threw a 1 2 3 first inning. I turned it off after that though /footwedged

Moment of silence and I heard Sweet Caroline playing before the game. Not sure if anything else.

Tribe bullpen doing a good job holding down the fort....Offense has had its chances to get back into the game but just can't get a key hit.


Druby Cabrerra really is sucking gas right now....need to drop him in the order.

A has been pitcher was not the right move. Pretty much there were two reactions on that trade. The "FUCK YOU DOLAN, YOU DUMB FUCKING IDIOT" side, and the "hey, you guys always bitch about Dolan not doing anything, but at least he made a move" side.

Pretty sad the only positive thoughts about that trade was "at least Dolan finally went for it." LOLfail
Who cares? Next year it will be the same shit. 77-85 after three years tito will be retained along with shapiro and antonetti then we will switch back to trading away players in their prime.

The Tribe will send new found 'Ace' Justin Masterson(3-0):thumbup: to the hill tonite...he will be opposed by Red Sox pitcher Alfredo Aceves (ERA 6.75):thumbdown:

....need a win tonite....I'll be there in person to root Mr. Clean on to victory......let's go Tribe:thumbup:

Yep. Hated the trade from the beginning. Dude had one good season and the "braintrust" gives up way too much for him. Fausto Jr. Also preferred Pence in that situation.

Really need Mr. Clean to bring it tonight. Win the last two of the series and get to .500 with arguably the best (on paper) road-trip we have all year.

Gotta like the pace of this game if you're Boston. Shooting for the old 81-0 final score.

Technically, it wouldnt have a pace, since both teams have not recorded an out yet...

This!!!. As it turned out the 3 inherited runners scored...but at least Francona played to win the game. Something Acta could never understand.

Wow...it seemed like I was the only one calling that trade a pig at that time. Pomeranz is starting the season off in triple A and White is on the DL. That eases the pain....somewhat.
