Indian's "Finish the Season" Thread

  • BRF
    Well, the Tribe snapped a losing streak last night to pull within a half game of escaping the basement. I just learned that if we finish last, it will be the first time in club history that we have back to back years of last place finishes. Pretty awesome. Does anybody still care? Ha ha!

    I was there last night to witness the victory! Tickets were dirt cheap, and I was drunk before I arrived, but I was there... maybe I'm good luck.
  • The Answer
    Huge win for the Tribe as it guarantees that we won't lose 100 games!!!
  • BRF
    Now there's a positive that I had not known! Go Tribe! (ts - you crack me up!)

    Avoiding the basement ensures championship next year. If we cant avoid it, no better than .500 ball.
  • BRF
    Speaking of finishes, is NCF finished on here? It's nice seeing you "old guard" Tribe posters again. It's like we're having a little reunion! ;-)

    Great game by Tomlin. I like what I've seen from the young pitchers so far.
  • ts1227
    I was worried Tomlin was going to get yanked when he gave up the HR with 2 outs in the 9th, but Manny let him finish, thank god.

    Tribe rolling again....looking to finish strong and stay out of the basement.

    Snow Days are coming in November.

    I am shocked there is no NCF posting his usual bashing of a Cleveland team yet on here.

    With next year being Grady Sizemores contract year, how long does it take before he is gone?
  • HitsRus
    I'm not sure it really matters.^^^
  • riders1
    Shapiro has depleted this team so badly, there are only about 4 or 5 players anyone else would want. How many retread rejects are on this team, and even starting!
  • HitsRus
    slowly, but surely...Andy Marte's BA is rising.
  • BRF
    I gotta tell you guys, when the commercial break was over for the top of the 2nd, the first words I heard were: 'and Peralta lines a single". I caught myself saying, "All Right!". Then reality hit.

    I think riders1 might be the new NCF! ;-)
  • HitsRus
    As the Kittys are unlikely to pick up Jhonny's $7 million option next year, JP is likely to be on the free agent market. That means the Tribe could pick Peralta back up for a mere fraction of that option price.
  • BRF
    Rain delay. (new way to say 'ttt" ;-). ). I wonder if Hits is there? Give us some updates, if you are! :-)
  • BRF
    Oh ho! Rain out and double header for tomorrow starting at 4:05.
  • riders1
    Rain out, Double header tomorrow night, the old kind 2 games for 1 ticket.
  • BRF
    How about that karma, riders1?
  • HitsRus
    Going tomorrow to close out the season (like always)
  • burt07
    4 wins in a row, Captains championship, Clippers championship? I see no reason not to think World Series or Bust in 2011.
  • BRF
    Hey, the Tribe is doing good half way through game 1!
