It also made it stupid to fire Acta and have Sandy take over with 6 games left.

I thought the whole skuddlebutt was they fired Acta to hire Alomar before someone else hired him..geez that front office needs a few hammerhead1 I think

Are they going to spin it as a major FREE AGENT COUP!!!!!!!! rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 As long as they put a A or AA team and charge what they do I won't be going to many Indians games.
