We are, I think, 4 and 13 over the last 10% + of the season.

Someone check the Elias Sports Bureau, but I think it's rare that a team has gone from 9 over .500 to just .500 in such a rapid move

Teams that do that even once over 162 games rarely really matter when October approaches.

It's the curse of Mark Shapiro.

Anyone offering up another curse other than Cleveland voting 90% and more plus for a Barack Obama who is running rampant with his liberal right and privacy taking away that Cleveland folks gave him the tools to do in Ohio for in 2012?

And yes, I note Barack Obama's government now has this post and my information in their "national security" archives.

With a nod to clarity, Mark Shapiro was a complete dumb arse for hiring Francona.

I'm a big Tim Lincecum fan, and he has openly been found to enjoy a joint as reported and dealt with in a court of law.

I'm cool with Chris Perez and his ganja enjoyment. He married a woman under the eyes of God who he now lives with under the same roof, and apparently God told them to toke hooch and enjoy.

It's a bitch to be a late inning closer guy.

Personally I would never need a joint to close the deal.

But I understand how Chris Perez might have found the journey and task aided with a toke, legal in many states.

Thank you for bringing politics into the GameTime folder.

Indians place Zach McAllister on DL with strained right middle finger; recall Carlos Carrasco to start TODAY's game...Masterson pushed back to tomorrow

Well, you would have to be a major league baseball pitcher trying to close a game before you knew that for sure.

Carrasco gets the first out, then a walk and holds Cabrera to a single. Hasn't hit anyone yet. Let's see what happens after he allows a homer.

Fielder singles lose them up.

Just FYI, Carrasco's last start in Colubmus he allowed 9 hits and 8 runs in 4 innings. Until then he'd been very tough. In fact almost the same run total (9) in 43 innings.

3-2 on Victor

Popped him up

Forum Favorite Jhonny is next.

2 strikes, now 1-2 count

Flies out. Tribe ahead 1-0 after one, on Bourne double followed by Kipnis rbi single.

Let's win one!

Carrasco is up to 50 pitches , now 51, in the bottom of the 2nd, facing Cabrera with runners on 2nd and 3rd 2 out and scored tied at 1

Walks him to lead the bases again, for Fielder. 53 pitches so far to retire 5 batters and put 7 on base.
