Do people really buy the STO talking bottle opener with Bruce Drennan saying “I love ya, Cleveland”? Seriously? People really do this?
Awww. I wanted a skunk for a while, but I read that they were smarter than ferrets and much more mischievous. Instead I got a cat that can open doors and always knows where the bubble wrap is hidden.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
but aren’t they stinky, thieving creatures?

I’ve always heard that ferrets are extremely smart, that they can open anything and love to dig through drawers, clothes hampers, trash, etc.
One of my friends had a raccoon as a pet when he was a kid. He said it used to punch people all the time.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
I just asked a couple of ferret-owners of my acquaintance and they say ferrets can be quite smart. I was wrong!
Lee’s almost at 100 already with no outs in the 8th… I bet we see Wood.

Wood needs some work where he doesn’t have to throw at anyone. I’m betting we’ll see Wood.

I think they may want to give Wood a chance to pitch in an actual save situation, rare as they’ve been…. since it’s not as though Cliff has a shutout going or anything…
but just a guess.

Wow, the Royals’ feed just showed Olivo getting knocked over like 8 times in a row. Looked pretty brutal when seen repetitively like that…
I wish STO would do that. I missed it the first time.

I just got home and saw the replay of Valbuena murder the catcher. Tell me I’m not the first one in this thread to think/post “don’t stand on the tracks when the train’s coming through, butthead.”

I know everyone says Wedge is gone tomorrow. But given the results, doesn’t that really mean that you want Shapiro gone tomorrow? Cause Wedge was using the pieces given to him. And they all suck.
(I actually love Mark. I’m just sayin).
Shapiro gave him a pitcher who was dominating and one who hasn’t pitched in a while. he used the latter.
FE WEE
Honestly, I put this all on Shap. When every piece of the puzzle save two or three suck…..it’s not the guy trying to put together the puzzle that sucks.
by supermarioelia on May 19, 2009 10:39 PM EDT up reply actions
This season he has sucked huge. So we’re blaming Wedge by osmosis for Wood’s crapiness all season long? Really?

I know, I wanted to keep Lee in there too, but putting Wood in with a 3-run lead wasn’t the craziest thing he’s done tonight.

I’m just scared that we might actually become worse. I don’t trust Skinner/Datz/Willis, and I can’t see a change improving our pen.

I am sorry. I really am. That sucks. They hurt you and then they hurt you some more. You know what – it’s time to stop saying that you fell down the stairs or that you deserved it. This is an abusive relationship. You need to walk away from the 2009 Indians. They won’t do you any good.

Wedge should be gone tonight. I don’t care if that is overreacting, it’s time to do something, anything to save the season.
That’s probably true, but wtf? How can Wedge have a job after this team melting down time and again this year? Time for him to go.
an interesting thought…

Anyone here watch this team in, oh, the 70s or 80s? Not me, I was too young and too far removed from Ohio to care (yet). But I really wonder if any one season then could’ve been as particularly galling as this one’s turning out to be.
I watched in both decades, and nothing was this bad.
by InfiniteMonkeyTypists on May 19, 2009 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, that’s the difference. It used to be you expected a losing record, and a stretch of 500 ball felt like a triumph, something you could build on. Now we’re led to believe that we’re just a puzzle piece or a good break away from a championship and… I can’t even begin to describe what this team has done over the last two years. It’s like they have a will to lose.

the fact that people even view trading the heart a soul of our team (vic) and our star pitcher (lee) as a viable option when we fall out of contention because we apparently have no money to pay them, is despicable

and so, maybe we blow it up all over again. hope you were paying attention in September/October ’07, because that 6 week run was the top shelf reward for 5 years of patience.
and what did we win exactly?

Well, you could start warming a guy but that might psyche out your closer. At that point, being on the road, the fate of the game is in hands of the closer.
