    The season is........

    About over.

    Lets be honest. The tribe is in the bottom 2 in batting and total bases. The season is 1/3 over. They have shown little signs of improvement. Everyone on the team, except for 3 players, is batting under .250. Every batter, except Ben. F. is underachieving....every batter. After having an OPS of about 1.000 for three years, Hafner is a mere shadow of his former self.......dropping rapidly. Vic has no power, Size is underperforming, our LF D. deloony might be the worst LF in baseball.

    The final stat is just plain silly. In close and late situation, Our mighty Indians are batting .178............yes .178. Or, in other words....lower than many pitchers in the N.L.

    In tonights game, they had 22 LOB............What a joke of a team.......:gt

    You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the $%#%! plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver

    This team just never seems to be able to get it together offensively. They'll break through for 12 runs in a game, then fall off the table for the next ten. Even Victor, who started hot, was slumping before he got hurt. There just doesn't seem to be anyone too reliable day in, day out in this lineup.

      As the 1973 Mets once said: "You Gotta Believe!"

      Indeed, teams that have been under .500 at this point of the season have made it to (and some even won) the World Series.

      This year, my dream WS matchup of Cleveland VS. Cincinnati (as show in the pic that is linked in my sig) will pan out. And the Indians will win it. Just you wait.
      The playoffs should expand eventually, but only if MLB itself expands.

        Sure, last place, 12.5 games out

            Yes, the Tribe is struggling but they aren't buried. They are only five-and-a-half games out and the teams ahead of them are not imposing. Keep the faith.

                  I still can't believe that the Indians missed out on getting Joe Torre. But we can still get Jack McKeon. He turned around the Marlins after they fell 10 below .500 five years ago. And I bet you that he can turn us around too.

                  Now all we need to do is fire Wedge. And I think Skinner should go too (he lost an entire city's trust because of game 7 last year), with a good replacement being George Brett (one of the greatest 3rd basemen ever to play this game.)

                  Now as for a replacement for Westbrook, I say we go for Roger Clemens. Sure he's 45, but he won 18 games in 2004. Sure his winning % has been declining since then, but that's because he's been playing for perennial contenders (which we used to be). If he plays here, no doubt will win more.

                    His success with KC was kinda uneven, Oakland went down with him, uneven with San Diego, fairly good with Cinci, he was only good the first (partial) year with Florida

                    <Now as for a replacement for Westbrook, I say we go for Roger Clemens. Sure he's 45, but he won 18 games in 2004.>

                    Only four years ago. (any idea how much he'd ask for, to be on a mediocre team for half the year?)

                    <Sure his winning % has been declining since then, but that's because he's been playing for perennial contenders (which we used to be).>

                    Where your winning % tends to go UP

                    <If he plays here, no doubt will win more.>

                    Because we're NOT a perennial contender?

                        FYI I'm only 18 and I wouldn't drink even if I was 21.

                        Clemens is one of the best pitchers ever to grace this game. He is the much-needed veteran for the rotation. The Rocket is what we need.

                          How about Ben Sheets (we'll get outbid) or AJ Burnett?

                            For that matter, how 'bout Nolan Ryan or Fergie Jenkins? The last thing the Tribe needs is a part-time juice baller, who wants to make $10 Mil plus to start 13 games, and only last 5 innings in over half of them.
