slaphead


like I said

cliff lee is a cy young winner because he was pitching THIRD in a rotation behind cc sabation and fasto carmona

ya put him as the ace, and you get what you got this year

i cant wait til we make the playoffs, if not next year but at least in two years and I get to say......."I told you so"

Wait, no that isnt how it will go...because I won't be saying I told you so...instead I will be watching the game....and you will be complaining about something elsewaving shades

Cliff Lee is a Cy Young winner because he is a damn good pitcher. Not sure the position in a rotation is any more stressful between 1 and 3. The reason his record isn't good this year is they gave him no run support. I really Eric Wedge but I have to think something is wrong with coaching these boys up a bit. Might be time for a little shakeup un the clubhouse...smokin

I guess it was a business thing the team is out of contention so why pay cliff lee and victor martinez whatever it is they owe when they can basically dump there salaries, get some money up to spend in the off=season and try to develop these young prospects at least one of them has to be good.

You honestly think they are going to spend any of that money they will save?

Well, I'm listening to the Twins and Indians game right now, and I honestly don't know how they'll do. We lost the last 2 games and that was a disappointment, so I hope we win tonight. It's interesting to see the statistics of the players we've gotten from trades. I honestly don't know what to think of all of this, but it'll be fun to see the young guys in September at least and I hope they're good so I'm not disappointed again. lol.

Arg, ok maybe I take that back. We're losing in the game so far 9 to nothing, so I'm now pretty pissed off. lol. I say Justin Masterson should go back to Boston. lol, oh well. Can't do nothing about that now. Oh well, we'll just get our ***** beat. lol.

Considering that the Indians were only good for a few years, you all should be pretty much used to them being no good.
