WHOA, Tito just tweeted "If we sweep KC I'm takin' the boys to see Vanilla Ice at Waynedale High School"

Wow, Tito is on a roll. New tweet "Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it"

Obviously a fan. Wurd.

Shay with a guage, Tito with a nine.

Same. Of course the schedules flip a bit now...but not sure how Dolan can trade Bauer and expect to keep any kinda of fan base on his side. The “window” has always been through next year, so to trade your — theoretically — best pitcher would be a joke to the game of baseball, imo. Unless they got a highway robbery deal from a team like SD which extended the window and kept it semi open this season? But man, just don’t see how you can give up at 20 games over .500

let's stop over analyzing everything and just enjoy the ride we're on...the team's really gelling, and they're really fun to watch--so just sit back and enjoy

So you want us to ignore the next 4 days of the trading deadline? When our team is right in the middle of a ton of speculation on if they will go for it this season or trade their top asset? What?

Yes, need to beat the good teams now and crush the bad ones...

.464 for the Twins,

.499 for the Indians.

Cleveland has 19 games left against the White Sox, Royals and Tigers, Minnesota has 33

Yes, that is very significant. 

And, yes, unloading Bauer right now would be a bad move by Dolan ........unless it’s heavily slanted to us......and I do mean heavily.  It’s gonna be an interesting next few days until that deadline.

Go Tribe. 

Salazar made 69 pitches in Triple A yesterday w one hit. Fastball at 93mph. They will announce on Tuesday what their plan is for him. Off day Monday, plutko set to start Wednesday. I wonder if that will be changed.

I think that the head to head games with Minnesota will ultimately determine it. We have played poorly against them this year, but if we can play well in the remaining 10, I like our chances.

I’d love to see him in the bullpen. 7th or 8th inning.

That would be great!

I have very little confidence when Perez or Olson come in. 

Lindor has a lead off hit in all four games of this series.

Mercado singles. 

Santana hits a three run homer!

Great start. Which we can’t say about whoever the White Sox decided to put out there today.

Merrifield doubles to lead off, breaking a skein of 24 straight singles by the Royals!

Covey!......gave up 5 runs on 5 hits without retiring a batter. 

Royals getting to Bauer with three hits and a run with only one out. 

But he strikes out the next guy and Bauers makes another outstanding scoop at first to get out of it. 

Fuck Bauer...hope we can get something good for him next week.

Bauer ties for league lead in walks. (Granted he does lead the league in innings pitched.)

No excuse...let’s get something for him while we can 

Wow......things are beginning to unravel. 

Scored now tied with bases loaded and no outs. 

Not a great trade showcase for Bauer. 

get his arrogant ass out of there
