TRIBE 2 GIFT WRAPPED GAMES IN A ROW . No support for excellent pitching.
Good news Tigs lose again Verlander gets beat. Time to give up on Reynolds slump not ending 114 strikes Swisher has become a big ? mark. Tribe has to rethink players and make trade for two solid hitters.
SP in good shape.

SP in good shape??

Bill, my friend, we still have Ubaldo... Switch him out for Salazar & Id be on board with that assessment

Mccalister coming back Tuesday, Salazer needs to be in. Now offense is struggling and BP is still shitty, shitty, shitty!

Now the defense wants to make mistakes, this isn't the fucking time!

We should be .5 ahead of the Tigs! Two losses that should of been really easy wins. 3 errors that led to really all 6 runs in the series.

 

[CaptO]

Cabrera & Reynolds only ones w/o a hit today...

Reynolds got a huge mental block...needs to go to C-bus for awhile & get his confidence back. Cabreras schtick? No clue...but trade rumors are swirling

 

[buckeyebill]

Hi Capt. I did not get to see todays game but followed on my phone. Why was Reynolds even in the game?
He has totally lost it. Asubal another ? mark. Like I said we need 2 more solid hitters. As usual we win and so dose Tigs. Mat pitched well and got run support. Trade deadline approaching???? I think MAC 's return and performance will be a big turning point for the Tribe?

 

[CaptO]

Reynolds got a problem. Think its a mental block. You can see the frustration in his whole demeanor. Tito got to let him to to C-bus & work it out. Its no good for him or the team being in such a bad frame of mind. I feel bad for the guy

Indians nearing deal with teenage phenom Gonzalez

The Indians are closing in on a deal worth an estimated $1 million with Cuban teenage right-hander Leandro Linares Gonzalez, according to an industry source.

Linares, 19, pitched for the Cuban National Team 16-and-under squad in competitions in Chinese Taipei in 2009 and Lagos de Moreno, Mexico, in 2010. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound pitcher made a name for himself on the island by starring for Villa Clara in the 16-and-under and 18-and-under divisions in the National Championships in Cuba from 2009-2012.

Because he is younger than 23 years old and has not played at least three seasons in a Cuban professional league, Gonzalez is subject to the new international signing guidelines established by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The Indians have agreed to terms with four players, including shortstop Willy Castro, for $850,000, for a total close to $1.4 million since the international signing period began on July 2. Cleveland entered the period with a bonus pool of $3,636,900.

Posted this earlier, funny as hell

Cleveland Indians Hotel Pseudonyms Accidentally Leaked in Minnesota

The Cleveland Indians picked the wrong hotel for their stay in Minnesota.

The hotel accidentally sent the guest list to the wrong person, according to Mike Oz of Yahoo! Sports, detailing the room of every player on the team.

Naturally, the guest list was spread around the Internet faster than a Ubaldo Jimenez fastball.

What's most concerning about this story is the long list of players who apparently aren't staying with the Indians. Guys like Nick Swisher, Justin Masterson, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Carlos Santana and Mark Reynolds don't appear on the guest list.

The Indians appear to have found replacements for these guys, though.

It looks like Jake Taylor isn't content to simply play catcher for the Indians in the movie Major League and will try his hand at playing in the MLB for real. Who would have thought Tar Zann would leave the jungle to play ball? And I'm sure nobody is complaining that Carmen Electra and J. Lo are apparently traveling with the team.

Also making the trip with the Indians, according to the list, are Denzel Washington, Mr. Romeo, Dick Tracy, Shania Twain and Jed Clampett.

The hotel couldn't have accidentally released a better guest list, as the Indians clearly had a bit of fun with the names they used.

These pseudonyms are hilarious, and now we want to know who came up with what?

Was Tar Zann actually Nick Swisher? Was Carmen Electra just Carlos Santana? Was Jake Taylor really Jason Giambi in disguise?

As funny as it is to see these names, I'd be one of many fans who would actually come out to see these people play. Just saying.

Good Stuff Capt. Late game tonight you in??

 

[CaptO]

Im in as long as my eyes stay open Bill

 

[buckeyebill]

I am with you, the eyes will have a bearing on it plus the score. Its a crap shoot with Ubaldo

 

[CaptO]

Well, if I miss it I can watch tomorrow. STO rebroadcasts during the day

 

[Shanemansj13]

Got a late one today guys. The M's are one of the hottest teams in baseball.

I might be awake for half of this game.

 

[CaptO]

Well that was a letdown last night...

A 1 run game really isnt the pitchers fault (even though Ubaldo had his now-typical early meltdown). Bats just arent there. Understatement to say they got to turn it around soon before the gap widens any further

Glad we got a day game tomorrow...10PM starts kind of rough on us EC guys

 

[buckeyebill]

Your right about those 10 pm games. Catch you tonight Capt. Mac Pitching???

 

[CaptO]

Yupper. C ya over

Roll Tribe

 

[CaptO]

Det's gonna have another one added to their W column tonight...so we gotta get it done... No more fucking around Tribe from here on out every game matters in a big way

 

[buckeyebill]

I am so pissed, we are playing the most boring , lethargic baseball that I have ever witnessed.This team should be so fucking mad that they kill tomorrow 20 to 0. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

[CaptO]

Not pissed here......disgusted in a huge way. D let us down as much as the bats. This is bullshit...theyre letting themselves go down the shitter without a fight

 

[buckeyebill]

Well Capt. finally something good to talk about Good group on tracker today. We need to get them over here. Kaz. has really impressed of late actually the K K boys have both done well. 1 more solid pitcher and 1 more solid hitter , then bull pen repair. Then we can compete. GO TRIBE
