2 of 3. Keep winning series & we'll be in good shape.

Just stay pace with Cleveland, pick up a game or two every couple of days and we'll be right there. 114 games left to play.

I just find the Tribe playing way over their heads.

Young guys my ass, they have alot of shit on that team.

You know, you look at guys like Asdrubal Cabrera, Orlando Cabrera and Grady Sizemore, most are at-best average at the plate. For them to keep up their current pace would be far better than their career averages. At some point, it's all going to even out. Just a matter of time. They are a young team and do have some talent. No denying that. I don't think it's enough to win the division this year, but they're definitely on the upswing.

When you look at playoff teams, though, you are looking at teams with a bunch of players who are playing (that year) above their career averages.

Just look at the 2005 Sox. There were so many people on that team with career years.

Very true. If the Indians can keep it up, props to them. I could handle them winning over just about any other AL team if we aren't in it.

Sox take 1. Hope for more though.

 

[Capt. Serious]

O-Cab is a prick & reasons why he can't stay with one team.

Asdrubal Cabrera, Choo & Sizemore are solid.

A team with Jack Hannahan as it's 3B will soon have problems.

Plus, their pitching is full of junk outside Chris Perez.

Blah blah blah, hate hate hate.

They have 11 games on us in the loss column. There is nothing wrong with respecting an opponent.

 

[Uman85]

The Indians have a little more than just Perez pitching-wise. But regardless they're getting the job done right now and that's all that matters. They're tops in the standings and that's all that counts currently.

im curious how many more times this year that hafner and sizemore will go on the DL.

they are playing over their heads. can they possibly win the division? sure, Il bet the sox and tigers finish ahead of them.

and too compare the indians team to the sox of 2005 is fucking stupid.

The talent on the 2005 on paper was>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> x10 better than the indians of this year.

 

[nickofypres]

6-4 road trip gets us to .500 when we come home and face the Tigers.

 

[jcrab66]

1st series to start a big road trip, need to keep things rolling with at least 2 of 3 in the win column....

 

[Uman85]

Big stretch of games here and very important. The Sox are looking good heading into the road trip. Keep it going boys.

 

[AE23]

man, when the hell id Danks gonna get a W?

 

[Gunzaan]

Screw Josh Hamilton

 

[DewsSox79]

[jcrab66]

[Capt. Serious]
