My friend at NESN is saying the video is nasty, of course they won't show it.

It's been an absolute joy to watch especially since only two were blowouts. Detroit always seems to suck this part of the season anyways and then roll later on so I'm not too worried yet

Stfu. Nobody in the entire world cares if you're worried. And no fan in the world thinks an eight game losing streak is "an absolute joy to watch."

It was sarcasm. At least I've seen 5 championship parades downtown in my short life though, how many have taken place in Cleveland lately?

Must be doing a fantastic marketing job in KC, or someone hacked the system.

Never understood just voting for you favorite players for the ASG and then also doing it multiple times. Even as a kid going to a reds game ya almost felt a duty, as a baseball fan, to vote for the best players and not just the hometown guys.

It's no different than the Browns leading the majority of positions the last few seasons.

7 out of 9??? hell, no.

Hosmer over Miggy? ehhh, I seen a lot worse injustices. Hosmer wields a pretty good stick and is a vacuum cleaner at first....plus, he can run the bases.

When I vote, it'll probably be for Miggy, but Hosmer is not the one I'd bitch about.

Tribe taking a huge risk tonight selecting Brady Aiken, LHP, #17 overall tonight. Aiken was #1 overall last year by Houston, but didnt sign for a slew of reasons. Ended up having Tommy John surgery and is currently recovering from it.

I love the pick though. Good enough to go #1, take him at #17 no matter what, even TJ surgery as a 17/18 year old...

I approve solely due to the slew of Classy's "lol literally a sham Miggy is teh bestest evar at everything lol" posts that should start roaring in as the voting gets closer to its conclusion.

Gotta throw an "honestly" or "unreal" in there for max accuracy.

Yeah, not a terrible pick but ya have to wonder if there was something better without the injury even though TJ surgery is fairly reliable. However Local Kid from marion local and OSU, playing for SD, Cory Luebke is recovering from his second already.
Lots of shit goes on in these drafts. Top rated OF went much later than expect because, some speculated, his adviser had put out he would need 5 million to sign. Teams get scared away at times.
Wonder if the Tribe will try to lowball him a bit.


Always interesting watching the draft and learning about these guys.
