I'm not nearly as sold on him as you are and it's not just because of last night. He's been knocked around it more than a few games this year. He's only had 1 season as a dominate closer, so I can't agree with you that he's proven.
What is wrong with the Cleveland Indians?

Has Wedge been fired yet? I'm so disappointed that this season hasn't turned out to be the great Tigers/Indians showdown we anticipated.
Go Cavaliers! At least you have them.

Nope. The GM (Mark Shapiro) has even spoken publicly recently and said that he supports Wedgie.
It's sad. We're like the 2008 Tigers, only worse.
I feel your pain. I remember the pain of last season all too well.
Sometimes the GM endorsement is the "kiss of death". For your sake, I hope so.

Yeah and to add a bit of humor to it, here's a quick story.....
I've been getting new license plate frames for my teams to put on my Explorer during each sport season. The first one I got was the Browns for the 2008 season. The anticipation was through the roof and then the season turned out to be a complete disappointment. Then in spring, I skipped the Cavs frame and instead swapped it out with an Indians frame. Now the Indians are tanking. People at work are convinced I am jinxing the hell out of my teams. This is why I am refusing to hang a Cavs plate holder. I don't want to jinx 'em if that's indeed true. (I think Cleveland has the most superstitious fans ever).

Oh yeah? I used to do some damn weird sh%t until I finally realized it didn't amount to a hill of beans.
Gave it up.

That's funny. But just to be safe, lose the Cavaliers frame. OR - put it on today and see if Orlando wins. then you'll know for sure.

Nope. I aint changing a thing. So far, whatever I'm doing for my Cavs it's working.
Cleveland fielding offers for DeRosa!
Oh sweet Jesus, KCK was right!!!!!!!!!!!

Cleveland Indians place Mark*DeRosa on trading block - MLB - SI.com
Sorry dude. I heard that one from a pretty good source last night and knew you'd blow a gasket when you heard. DeRo is just too valuable to be sitting around on a non-contending team. The Cubs are REALLY sorry they traded him, believe me. I wish to God there was a way the Angels (or even the Dodgers) could squeeze him in.

I think Buffalo fans could give them a run for thei money.
If the Reds and Indians split these six games, how do they determine who gets the Ohio Cup?
Unwritten Rules Broken. Tribe vs. Rays May Revive Bad Blood!
Since I last posted about these Wickedly Worthless Wahoos, the Tribe went 1-2 against the Reds at Great American Ballpark. BTW Reds fans, you've got a gem of a player in Joey Votto. He's now my unofficial favorite NL player. What a talent!
Now, the Tribe shifts focus to the Tampa Rays as we return home for a 4 game series against these pesky creatures of the sea. The last time these teams met, there was a bench clearing skirmish which was a result of Joe Maddon and company breaking one of the often debated "unwritten rules of baseball." A brief recap.....
In the game (May 14th), Maddon called for BJ Upton to steal second and third in the 6th inning with his team trailing the Indians 9-0. The Tribe still ended up winning 11-7, but supposedly the mockery of the "unwritten rules" works both ways (whether on losing or winning team) and upset a few, most notably Kerry Wood and Victor Martinez.
In the 8th inning, Wood fired a fastball behind Upton and a second one at his knees. Joe Maddon and V-Mart barked at eachother and both teams came onto the field.
V-Mart had this to say following the game...

Bring it Tampa!
Oh! I am getting the popcorn ready for that one today. Who knows? We may even see a hockey game break out today @ the Jake!!!!
And if either Fields or Garza pitch in the series...LOOK OUT!
