Cleveland Indians @ Toronto Blue Jays series thread.

    I had a feeling JoJo was going to get his first win in 2 years vs the tribe. Why not? That type of shit always happens in Cleveland.

    Damn....stepped outside to sit on the porch for a few minutes. Tribe was down 2-1 when I left...WTF?
  • wes_mantooth
    Fausto is so damn inconsistent for someone with that kind of STUFF. I don't think he will ever get it....

    Never said we were golden. Said earlier that Jo Jo isn't as bad as his winless streak would indicate. Doesn't surprise me that they are going to lose today. I love this team and the way they play. They are not a .600 baseball team, though. Not many are..in fact..nobody was last season. Given that fact, it means they are going to come back to earth a little bit. And that means losing games on the road. It is what it is.

    Fausto no es bueno. Es muy malo.
  • JerseyBuck
    Indians are really stinking it up as of late, pitching, defense and hitting. Yuck.

    Cool. I think we all know this, but again, it doesn't make it any less pathetic/frustrating to watch.

    Instead of using his glove, Durbin thought now would be the time to use that back deflection fielding move he's been practicing.
  • TBone14
    Indians lose today and will drop to an EMBARRASSING 5-5 over their last 10 games vs the reigning NL Central Champs, the loaded up Red Sox, the reigning AL East Champs and the Blue Jays who would win damn near every division every year except the division they play in.
  • BRF
    Crap!
  • Footwedge
    Fausto==Airhead. Not smart enough to win in this league on a consistant basis. And fuck you Manny.....leaving him in untill he gives up 9 runs. If a starter sucks...then he sucks and you replace him after giving up 4 runs. You threw in the towel.

    I don't think losing is the problem...the way they are losing is disturbing. Lots of poor pitching and awful defense is concerning. The Indians don't have the talent to overcome that.

    Exactly. None of the recent losses have even been competitive.

    This is where you need a couple vets to hold a team together. OCab is one, but his glove has been real shaky going back to the Cincy series.
  • hoops23
    And the Tigers finally win. Division lead will be down to 5. We've had the perfect opportunity to push it to 8, 9, and really even 10 games with the Tigers struggling lately.

    I think thats the most frustrating part about this skid.
  • hoops23
    On the same note, Minnesota really sucks.
  • DeadliestWarrior34
    Well that massacre is finally over.
  • hoops23
    There are some definite red flags in this team now. No real "big bopper" and a team full if guys hitting sub .290 outside of Druby.

    I think you have to get a replacement up here for Hannahan and Kearns needs to GTFO. Give up a few prospects for a legit offensive player. What else are we going to do?
  • iclfan2
    Why is KEarns playing over Buck? It makes no sense. Also, we need to do something about the hitting right now, it is embarrassing.
  • Gardens35
    That game was rotten.
  • hoops23
    The Tribe needs to win the next two to salvage this trip. They're mire than capable of doing so.
  • wes_mantooth
    I am worried that they are counting on Hafner to be their "big bopper". Yeah, he started out great, but he hasn't stayed healthy since the roids era came to an end.
