Yep same dollars. And I’m dead serious. I think that the chances of CC burning out are higher than Cliff losing his mojo. I like Cliff’s fire. I’ll bet you if he wouldda pitched against the BoSox last year we’d have a WS championship trophy back in Cleveland

i’d have to disagree. same price it’s gotta be CC. he’s younger, better stuff overall, more proven over a longer period. we’re fawning over Cliff, and rightfully so, but he wasn’t even on the playoff roster last year.

by DontCallMeJoey on Jul 2, 2008 9:02 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You think the 2007 version of Cliff Lee (he with the ERA over six) would have won us the ALCS? I don’t remember you advocating that at the time…

by Jeffrey R on Jul 2, 2008 9:06 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well yeah a little over the top. After all Cliff was injured. But I just don’t think that a healthy Cliff would have gagged the way CC did. His play-off performance was very, very disappointing to say the least.

Resident LGT beer kinda sewer

by mauichuck on Jul 2, 2008 9:12 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But Cliff wasn’t injured at the time; he just wasn’t pitching well. Remember, he came back and pitched out of the bullpen in September.

by Jeffrey R on Jul 2, 2008 9:21 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don’t think you would have written that last sentence last year during the playoffs. You can’t judge a pitcher based on 2 or 3 games.

Just looked at the lineup … has Gutz sucked (even more) lately or something? Why is Dellucci DHing? That’s ABSURD. BenFran should be DH, Choo can’t be worse in left than right, and let Gutz play right. I don’t understand what Wedge is doing this year. At all.

by woodsmeister on Jul 2, 2008 9:45 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What separates this from the Marte/Blake situation is:

a. Blake actually has trade value and
b. Blake can play defensively at multiple positions (even if we choose not to use that skill)

by Roger Dorn on Jul 2, 2008 9:48 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so we moved Michaels out instead of Dellucci b/c:
a. we thought dellucci could help us win more games
b. we though we could get more for michaels
c. michaels’ contract was easier to unload

which is it? i have no idea, but my guess is c.?

by DontCallMeJoey on Jul 2, 2008 9:56 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

d. Michaels’ skills were more redundant with Francisco/Blake/Marte.

by Jay on Jul 2, 2008 10:59 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, if Dellucci is in the lineup, then he should be the DH – his arm is awful, and his range isn’t very good either.

But as to the question of whether he should be in the lineup, that’s another matter….

by Ryan on Jul 2, 2008 9:47 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You’re absolutely right, I’m just willing to go ahead and say he shouldn’t be in the lineup. If the team is healthy, he shouldn’t be in the lineup ever. With so many injuries, maybe once a week.

I think Shap gets a bad rap for “sitting on his hands” in the off-season. He added two good players to a roster of young guys that was one game from the world series. Sure, we needed a corner OF bat .. but that probably would have cost us Laffey/Lee to make it happen.

It just dawned on me that, besides playing a spoiler later in the season against teams I dislike, (without looking at a schedule, I’d assume we have some games against playoff hopefuls in September), this might be the last Tribe game of the year where I really want to win, more than just because it’s more fun to watch a win than a loss. It’d be nice for CC to get a W, if this is going to be his last start with the Tribe.

Spectacular. I would give a LOT for the Twins to be within a couple games at the end, and the Rays and Sox tied, and then have the Tribe end the season on a 9 game winning streak.

Conversely, can you imagine how fun those series would have been if we were in the race at the end? That would have been awesome.

among the things I didn’t want to deal with tonight: extra innings.
good thing “another walkkoff hit” is above it

Wyatt Toregas hit 3 bombs tonight in Akron.

WHAT?

He should just retire now.

I know… that’s what I said when I saw the box score.

Both of our minor teams (Buff and Akron) are starting to hit the snot out of the ball.

Steven Head hit another one. I want to hope….but his 13 walks don’t give me much confidence.

Head is not even on my radar’s radar’s radar.

His mustache cannot possible leave you un-phased.

No, I just banned myself.

Had an irritating day, and this feels like our tenth irritating game in a row. Watching this season has gotten to be like sleeping on a bed of nails.

I’m sure I’m way behind, but I’d like to go on record as disliking the new avatar. BRING BACK GEORGE!

You see the trailer for George’s new movie? Burn After Reading?
