Double plays killing rallys. Offense is off since the break. Need a spark. Looking like 3.5 half back and scary time. Tigers have two more with the White Sox and then go back home and we head to Texas this weekend.

Maybe Games is the spark. He has the big homer and has hit the ball hard all night. Let him catch and Santana play first. Chiz and Reynolds can draw straws for who gets to go 0-4 with 2 Ks and a GIDP at 3rd tomorrow.

Indians have had leadoff runner on last 3 innings. Never gotten to 2nd base. Swisher got rung up on an awful strike 3 in the 7th.

It is mostly the players. Last chance here in the 9th.

Leadoff single for Reynolds. Pinch runner.
Lonnie of course not bunting. Probably a double play.

That is some of the worst base running you will ever see.

Another dagger loss. Had Wilhelmsen on the ropes and just pissed it away. I can't believe what I just saw.

For those reading this waking up Wednesday morning...don't bother with the highlights.
Back to back singles by Reynolds and Chisenhall of all people to start the 9th. Gomes hits a weak grounder to 3rd...he checks pinch runner Stubbs and goes to 2nd for the force. Stubbs gets caught in no man's land for no fucking reason. He hesitated about 3 times. He is out. And then Bourn strikes out looking on another ball outside.

Stick a fork in them. We will be lucky to be in 3rd place at the end of the season.

Yuck.
Getting beat by teams like Minny and Seattle...fuck. We all knew they are posers when it comes to playing with the big boys, but this shit is unacceptable.

The Indians are a .500 talent level team. They have been since the begin gin of the season. They just happened to be in the weakest division in baseball.Glory Days;1477800 wrote:Stick a fork in them. We will be lucky to be in 3rd place at the end of the season.

The best modern era baseball team EVER...lost 46 games. The best team year in year out typically loses about 60..and like Laley said...really good teams lose 70.
It was just that 30 was ridiculously low. Not to nitpick. The reason I didn't finish it was more due to the fact that I scrolled down it appeared to be the length of War and Peace...and my morning 'reading time' at work was wrapping up.

I thought they said the other day the best team lost 34? My bad. I'll just take it out all together. I am a terrible writer because I always research ERAS and batting averages and stuff and skip that lol. Anyways, it's long bc it is a rant and lets be real, there is a lot to rant about right nowTBone14;1478015 wrote:The best modern era baseball team EVER...lost 46 games.
