Where did their f#cking pitching come from?

The bats are awakening and they are getting primed ........ Chisox better not so much as hiccup or they are finished.

The Twins are already has beens and falling.

Indians make a trade for a solid bat and it's over 1994 is back and '95 is coming up...... CLEVELAND ROCKS.

Maybe Dolan will sell now...... and we'll get an owner not scared to pay for that player or 2 we need to go to the series.

Just wish Cincy would get their shit together and fucking play up to their ability and talent. get rid of Miley and get a real manager in there.

Booyah just wish we had a BIG BAT to go with the pitching.

Good luck to the Indians. With the way Chicago and Minnesota are playing, it'll be a fun race if they keep it up.

Since the Orioles are going to end up running away with the AL East, I might be able to pay attention to that more

Wow. What lunacy!

See you boys in October. Oh wait, no we won't.

paddyjoe

Well said, dylanmarsh!

The smack folks talk in June, eh........

pan6467

We'll see when the Indians sweep 3 games from the Bosux this week.

BOOYAH........ then we'll see who talks smack....

2nd lowest ERA in the majors, best record since May 8th..... 11 outta 12.... come get some Beantown Chowderheads..... and check those prima donna attitudes at the door ..... You play the JAKE this week and we don't put up with players that need manicures and their hairstylists in their lockerrooms ready to make sure those dreds stay perfect..... (being sarcastic just talking smack.... not trying to offend or truly say Manny brings his manicurist and stylist on road trips with him)

come get some.........

Baltimore's 4-4 vs. Boston this year (not to mention 5-1 vs. New York, as well as 10-9 vs. Boston last year )

Boston had their chance over the past month and a half when the Orioles lost Erik Bedard (aka their best starter), Javy Lopez (aka their catcher), and Larry Bigbie, Luis Matos, and Sammy Sosa (aka their entire starting outfield) for various lengths of time.

All should be back by the All-Star Break, and then we'll see who's talking smack in October

Damn these guys win 1 world series in what 80-90 years and they think they're a powerhouse again.....lol ........ na na na na na na hey hey hey goodbye......

No Schilling, no Pedro, no Lowe....... Foulke is barely doing his job...... and Manny will space out on the basepaths and cost you a few games..... lol

And STILL 8 games over .500! Amazing!

Now if I can only find those hip-waders..................

dylanmarsh

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's always fun to laugh so hard at the rest of the AL in October that you end up crying, while waiting for the Cardinals to arrive at Fenway for the World Series.

Any team with Casey Blake in RF and a guy at SS with a .960 FPCT will be battling KC for fourth in July, not Minnesota for first. That said, I do like the Sizemore kid.

Oh, and here's further proof that one needs to leave Cleveland in order to win anything:
Ellis Burks says hello.

djtestudo

So now Cleveland and Boston are tied 1-1 in World Championships since 1918. Congratulations

Actually, the Sox are looking to tie it up as the Indians won it in both 1920 and 1948. Now, if we're talking the 21st century, Cleveland has a long ways to go!

pan6467

Ah yes and if we're talking my lifetime the Bosux have a long way to go to catch up to my Cincinatti REDS tho '75 (who was that against????? oh yeah the Bosux),'76 (crushed a supposedly great Yankee team), '90 (destroyed that A's team that was oooo so powerful).....

And who has had more HOF players go through their town ........ that's right the Cleveland Indians.......... 13 Indians - 11 Bosux ahahahahahaha


Cleveland
Averill
Boudreau
Covelski
Doby
Feller
Flick
Joss
Lajoie
Lemon
Sewell
Speaker
Wynn
Young


Bosux
Boggs
Collins
Cronin
Doerr
Ferrell
Fisk
Foxx
Grove
Hooper
Yaz
Williams


And ummmmmmm Cy Young's bust in the HOF has the CLEVELAND insignia on it......lol.... Eckersly played for both but was so drunk he doesn't remember Cle.... and he showed his appreciation to Boston by wearing an A's hat.

Boston is so bad the Braves had to leave to win.

Course, my Boston brothers it could be worse you could be the Phillies, the Pirates, Detroit, or one of the Chicago teams...... oh wait at least Chicago supports 2 teams..... ahahahahaha

I heard you guys in Ohio swing both ways but I never thought it was true. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yawn.

I forget - what is 2005-1948? Oh yea, 57.

pan6467

57 is a far cry from 87 isn't it????? and in those 87 years Cleveland won the ring 2 times...... and the Reds have 5..... lol you have a long way baby see you in 87 years.

How many division titles does Boston have in the last 10 years??????? To Cleveland's 6.

Aw well, I'd rather be from Ohio and root for true heart and soul teams like the Reds and Indians and fight for all we have, than be the Yankees bald headed stepchild and only be able to win because the Yankees have a breakdown..... like Boston.

dylanmarsh

Okay, a few corrections and points to be made here:

• The Reds beat the Red Sox in '75, not '76. (I see you've since corrected it)

• Somehow I doubt the Indians would have beat the Yankees out for any of the division titles if the played in the AL East for the last 10 years.

• Wells is not a fat ass, he's just big boned.

• Ellis Burks is a classy guy, now, but was a primadona for many of his ML years.

• It's been 86 years between championships for God's team not 87.

• The Braves departed Boston because of a sagging economy and the inability to compete with the Red Sox for the fan base. This scenario is similar to the Indians competing with Disney On Ice during the late 1980's. I am shocked that the Indians held on and weathered that storm.

pan6467

My typing got ahead of my brain and I did confuse 75 and 76 originally.

In the 90's with Belle, Thome, Ramirez, Lofton, and company we owned the Yankees and I believe (I maybe wrong and I am sure you will correct me) 5 of the 6 years we won the division we had the best record in the AL.

Wells is a fat ass drunk.....lol and I am sure if he were a Yankee you'd agree.

Yeah Ellis was a major pain, but so was Franco, Lofton, Belle, Winfield and so on but except for Belle they all eventually grew up.

As for the 80's yeah, but one must admit that Cleveland was playing really bad baseball. (And yet their all time winning %age is not that far behind the Bosux... and ranks in the top 10 in baseball.... imagine if the 70's and 80's had produced a few .500 teams where they'd be).

As for Disney on Ice.... that was a myth.... truth is they had extremely poor owners that couldn't afford and had no right owning a team..... Gabe Paul took half the team to build the 70's Yankees..... ARt Modell and his Stadium Corp. raped the Indians in rent, and Cleveland is always one of the first to get hit hardest in recessions and one of the last to pull out....

But I still love them and my Reds..... we'll never be the Yankees bald headed step children like Boston.....

pan6467

PS I have to take advantage of this now because once we start playing the AL and not beating up on NL teams.... our lousy hitting and the fact we have a jerkoff for an owner will start to shine through like a full moon through an outhouse.

Wells can't even hold a 3-1 lead (thanks to a Manny HR).

3 runs in the 4th BABY to take the lead 4-3

Wells is a LOSER......

No, I agree with you, now. Over-eating, functional drunks make for great 3rd starters.

Still without a championship since the Truman administration?

All kidding and sports aside, which industries are most successful there?

As much as it has sucked over the years, getting beat down by the Yankees was the best thing to happen to the Sox. It's amazing how a change in attitude and ownership has made all the difference in the world. I firmly believe the Yankees run is over.

Glory's Sun

so much for your precious sweep


and while I'm here.. I hardly think a 2 game lead constitues running away from the rest of the division (Baltimore)

kutulu

Cleveland had the luxury of playing against the crappy NL West. The Pads are going to win that division with 85 wins. Now that they are playing real teams we see what happened.

Damn it was so frustrating to see the DBacks' starters throw back to back complete games and still lose.

pan6467

I truly never saw the charm Wells has. He's not my type of pitcher never have liked the man.

Perhaps, but only 64 wins seperate the Tribe and Bosux from having the same record. A couple of .500 years instead of those 90-100 loss years we had and we'd have a better overall record than you... when was your last 100+ win season?????


None right now (it was built on steel and manufacturing and the old school money and power that be in that city refuse to invest in anything else). Akron is the only city in this area getting away from manufacturing and investing in polymer research (University of Akron is one of the best Polymer tech schools out there).


I think if the Yankees start to truly decline and this is not just a hiccup, you'll see Steinbrenner start agreeing that a cap is needed and MLB will have one.

Hey as an Indian fan, I hate the Yankees as much as you Boston fans do..... and to think the owner of the Yankees is from Cleveland and tried to buy the Indians but Stouffer wouldn't budge on price and the club was on the edge of bankruptcy..... so why overpay? Especially when the Yankees became available for an extremely cheap price.

I think if anything the renaisance of the 90's shows Cleveland to be a great baseball town, we just need an owner that will spend some money and at least try to let us contend instead of make excuses why he won't spend money and keep payroll way below even the ML average.

heccubusiv

why are boston people being dicks... they have the pats they have titles. Cleveland really has nothing... the browns have not won a title since the 50's, have never made a super bowl. Jose Mesa stoped the Indians from winning anything. And Micheal outshinned Mark Price to keep them away from a NBA title. Give Cleveland something to talk about

Friendly banter, amigo. Not trying to be a "dick".

Ilow

No dicks here, look who started the thread. When someone pops off about their teams pitching and then they promptly give up 10 runs rather than "sweep" I think the Boston fans who have been called bosux throughout the thread should be allowed to defend themselves. Bringing the Pats into it is just silly, at least the indians are competetive with the Sox.

At least you don't claim the Devil Rays as one of your teams. 20-11, Jesus.

well, hmmm.......perhaps if that score were reversed.





Sorry pan. You can beat me up in July..............

Glory's Sun

Yes we should be able to defend ourselves. Considering all the smack we hear from Skankees fans and any team in the NL all year every year... although, I'm not hearing much smack being talked from Skankee fans this year.. wonder why??


Cleveland is just having a good streak..well they were until they met up with my Sox. They aren't going to cause much fuss when it counts. I'd also bet that Baltimore won't have much when it comes time to truly shine.

streak_56

Is it wrong for me to cheer for the Blue Jays?

Glory's Sun

it's really not wrong to cheer for any team.. well ok it's wrong to cheer for the Skanks

Alright everyone, pick your favorite broom and let's sweep the Indians:
