The numbers are a bit juvenile but good for him for giving some money away. He's an odd duck but he's our duck. 

Ha I like Bauer's weirdness, and training. Check out the video below on how he scientifically created a new slider. Pretty cool

May have been on some of those links but I saw where Bauer bought a bunch cameras so he can freeze photos, or something like that, and analyze each move he makes to perfect his pitches. I think this guy is more analytical than Sashi Brown.

Regarding his donations....I think it's super cool that he's doing this and I've already mentioned it to one of my coworkers to reach out to him for one of the donations. Guy I work with has a group that goes around and performs magic for terminally ill kids here in Cleveland. Not to make light of it but when he told me about the magic, the first thing I though of was Gob in Arrested Development.

Tribe wins 94 games, and go on to win World Series 70 years after their last World Series triumph, to the delight of Chief Wahoo.

Thank you!!   I still remember cashing in after the 6th inning thinking it was over; then damn near wrecked the car going to work the next morning after turning on the radio, Cleveland WWWE (now WTAM)

So, who is starting the Ms series thread!?

Also, not sure if the rumor even had substance. But I wanted Ian Happ for Kipnis and Salazar so badly to happen. Happ led off game for Cubs with a bomb.

That is a really cool format.  

(even though they misspelled "Visquel")

I'm going with 92 wins.   If that gets them to the postseason they surprise some teams as an underdog and the spotlight on some other teams.

Gob in Arrested Development.

How much did his suit cost?

^^^^^ I liked the stealing the bat of Eric Gonzalez part!

 

We also saw a drop off of posters for series threads through this season.

It's all about making the playoffs and being as healthy as possible going into the playoffs.  I maintain the playoffs, especially the ALDS are a crap shoot.  Great pitching will always give you a chance, and if the Tribe make the playoffs I give them just as much as a shot of making it to the WS as every other team that will be in the playoffs.  Last year Kluber picked a terrible time to look human, E5 injured himself, and the entire lineup decided to be a pile of shit.  There are a lot of guys in that lineup that have some redeeming to do.  

I stand by this.  Let's hope they are hot at the right time.

And you made a good statement back then, as I said back then. 

Go Tribe.

93-69

Ah, reasonably close. Could still wind up within a game if they remember how to do little things like win multiple consecutive games again.
