Pan, you always talk shit about CC. Do you think he's not giving it 100%? There is no reason for him not to give 100%. Isn't he the strikeout leader in the majors? (I could be wrong on that) Shit, look at Beckett, he's not having as great a season as last year, but fuck if he isn't trying. I just think it's too easy to look at a team who quite frankly overperformed the prior year (yes your Indians) and think they aren't giving it 100% just because they are struggling a bit this year. Shit, most people think the Rays have never tried but I have to say they always have. The only difference this year is they have a dedicated front office and some better talent.

If you look back when I started really talking shit on CC this season his game got better. Why break that? Besides when he leaves for more money it's easier to see the guy you dislike walk. And yes, CC sucks at games that are truly important.
As for the Indians.... I'll take the beat reporters who are with them every day and what they report over what you believe to be the problem. Yes, they had career years last season, but the huge drop is more than just them coming back to Earth.
