Well well well.........we head in to the All-Star break on a little roll with BRF at the helm on thread posting.

(6 threads started, 4 wins and 2 losses, with an overall record of 14-7)

If we sweep this series against the A's, we will be at .500.

I think most of us would take that.

Friday start is 7:10

Saturday start is 6:35

Sunday start is 1:10

Go Tribe.

I'll post it here as well...

Frustrating that jay they aren't better. The potential is there.
@kevnbaseball: The Indians outscored the Rays, Pirates, and Astros (all winning, division-leading teams when each series began) by 19 runs (47-28).

I think ALL of us would take that at this point.....Take all 3 from Oaktown, and it's " The Tribe is alive in 2-0-1-5!"

I admire your optimism but this team is still below 500, with a bunch of Mendoza line hitters and double digits out of first place. Anything is possible, but it's hard to get excited about this team at this point. They have grossly underachieved for the talent on the roster.

Lindor keeps swinging it well. Looking more and more comfortable at the plate each game.

2-2 headed to the 8th. Almost positive this will be the first time that Carrasco hasn't factored in decision all year.

Fricking Scrabble...SMH.

I've had enough of him... Seems like every time we blow a lead or a hold he figures in on it.

He was great the year we traded for him, but has been pretty bad since.

And of course, because Cleveland, we are still down a run after that Santana HR because a throw back to the infield hits the runner on base...lol

To no ones surprise, that play costs them the game (that and Scrabble sucking).

Michael Bourne rolls out to second leading off the ninth on a 3-1 pitch. Bourn goes 0-3 lowering his BA to a paltry 224. 13 million per year well spent. This team has too many high priced losers. They will enter the break sub 500 and for all intents and purposes, the season is over. SI jinx lives.

No runs and one hit into the B7 and still only down by 2.

C'mon!
