Title: Indians Dechiefing
Post by: maywoodmaniac on April 16, 2014, 06:37:11 AM
Hey Gary, what's going on with the Injuns?

If it wasn't bad enough that fans have taken to ripping Chief Wahoo off their shirts and caps - they call it "dechiefing" - then the White Sox take 3 out of 4 from them.

Don't look now but the gap in the standings is getting wider.  The Sox are winning every possible way.

They have a #2 starter and four #4 or #5's.  Its amazing how people thought they would be better than last year.

I feel for Cleveland.  First the brunt of the joke in the "Major League" movies, then the brunt in the new football flick, "Draft Day" with Kevin Costner.   At least in the new movie the team looks to have made some great moves and ends up with all the right pieces to the puzzle.   I don;t know what's worse, being a frustrated Indians fan or a frustrated Cubs fan.  Hey, wouldn't it be something to see a Indians vs Cubs World Series?   In my dreams.....

It is more frustrating for a Cleveland fan because Cubs fans still have the Bulls and Blackhawks, so they get some taste of winning.

The Indians will either finish first or second in the division, laddies. It's frigging April.

just fou d some year old chile in.the freezer.  If they don't finish b first or second, I'm shipping it to you and you have to eat it.  No, it will not be in a freezer pack for shipping.  It should thaw out by thetime it gets to you.  If they do, I'll eat it

Indians are more likely to finish 20 games out of first than in first Gary.

The Indians do lead the league in one thing: lowest attendance, just ahead of the White Sox.

It was 36 degrees when the White Sox-Red Sox game started last night. I didn't see the attendance count in the box score, but it looked like there were about 50 people at the game when the WSox won it in the 9th inning.

I think every home game for the Indians has been cold

When the Tribe is on top by 3-4 games in a month or so, attendance will pick up considerably.  nononono

With FA signings like Swisher (you guys in Chicago know about him), the Tribe won't be going anywhere. Now if Dolan wants some players he has to open up his wallet and hire some decent scouts and put money into the farm system like they did in the 90's.

I don't know if time with the Yanks changed him, but with Swisher it's always about him.

With Jeter, Rivera, Rodriguez and Company in the clubhouse, that obviously wasn't going to fly in NYC.

Swisher loosens up the team and helps them have fun.  He brings more to the game than just his at bats. 

They should have kept Harang and resigned Scott Kazmir.  Salazar isn't ready yet and Carrasco is best in the bullpen.

Naw!!! There are a lot of jokers on teams. What he brings is a 160 batting ave in the second spot. Last year he hit what 230? maybe 240? I do agree about Harang and Kazmir. Kazmir is going great in Oakland.

.246  He should be above .250 for this year and give them 20+ home runs.

Indian fans can at least watch Tom Berenger, Wesley Snipes and the gang in Major League.  Gives the feeling of Winning.  Cubs fans don't even have a movie they can turn to for hope!

And Angels fans can watch Angels in the Outfield...  In the original Major League they don't even make it to the world series.  How is that something to turn to for hope ?

At least you have movies. 

Us White Sox fans have the reality show drama, "As The Stomach Churns".

It happens every time in the 8th or 9th inning when the bullpen blows a lead. It's like watching a $4k claimer get to the half in :54 and you know that last 1/4 is gonna be ugly.

The Sox are going to lead the league in quality starts by their starters with nothing to show for it.  Ran out of pitchers the other night and lost a game when a utility IF was on the mound.  They had a chance to sweep the Bosox and came away 1-2 for the series.

I know theres been some talk about shortening baseball games to 7 innings like college games to lower the dragged out times of games... while I'm sure it wont happen, after seeing the sox bullpen for 2 weeks..I'm all for it  hammerhead1

Let's see the Tribe is 7-9 right, and they committed so far 16 errors!! rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 Yikes I wonder what's the over or under for the season. 162!!!! rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 or is there more!! What is the major league record for number of errors. I thought that Gomes was supposed to be a decent defensive catcher too!

1945 Philadelphia A's I believe they were called had 234 errors. Tribe has a way to go to catch them.

Harang had a no hitter into the 7th inn. Kazmir and Harang are going great guns And the Tribe? they keep Carasco and Salazar instead. Hmm it wouldn't have taken 17 mill to keep Kazmir!!!!!

How about that AL central? 1 1/2 games between  1st(Detroit) and last (Indians)  Mainly due to my Sox kicking the Tigers ass the last 2 games.  Sorry I have to go, might have to pitch for the Sox against Tampa.

Hey Hal, the Sox couldn't be any worse off with you and I in the pen.

After Webb self-destructed today, I'm wondering if Goose Gossage can come out of retirement and rejoin the Sox.

Or maybe Bobby Thigpen still has something left in the tank.

The Indians will either finish first or second in the AL Central in 2014.

The other teams lack the power, the braun, the hitting, and the fielding of the mighty Cleveland Indians.
