The Tribe has headed into a 4 game series at home against the Red Sox. This might NOT have been too much of a problem, with the Sox having not much better of a record than the Tribe...except...

The Red Sox have been on a winning streak. A real good one. AND Sabathia, our best pitcher, has been doing nothing better than squat since the all star break.

The Tribe lost the first game in the series. Tonight MIGHT have been a good one if Sabathia was where he was before the break.

Our only save is if the Tigers continue to lose. I really dislike Detroit.

Yes! I am ready for some football!!!

Just how/who decides the lineup for the All-Stars game...for REAL?

3 Freakin' Detroit Tigers in the starting line-up!!! The Tribe has had it all over those miserable Tigers most of the season, so far. They have us at one game back of the Tigers right now...even though we have as many wins as them. It's just that we have played 2 more games than they have...and lost those two extra games.

To put Grady Sizemore, Victor Martinez AND CC on the RESERVE list is blasphemy. Grady and CC could play circles around half those ones on the beginning lineup. Victor has really stepped up this season, too.

The whole thing is a freakin' joke...just like Homecoming Court at a HS football game.

I expected the Tribe to go under on the second game of the series against the Tigers. Rogers was pitching (and we put Westbrook up against him). We can't seem to get over Rogers. But to get skunked so very badly in the third game... . That cut our lead down to one game over the Tigers in the AL Central.

But what really chaps my cheeks the worst is the fact that the sports media is making such a big freakin' parade over the Tigers/Red Sox series before the All Star break. Is there EVER ANY mention about ANY Cleveland teams? The Browns are so totally ignored. I realize they stink...but even teams that are worse or just as bad as the Browns get their time. The Cavs HAD to get some air time since they DID make it to the NBA Finals. Here the Tribe has sat at the top of the AL Central MOST of the season...and they STILL get no respect!

Hey...ESPN!!! I have some choice phrases for you...but...I really shouldn't put it out here in public. Be watchin' for me e-mails. Anal retentive, knuckle dragging... Never mind.
