Per Castro, Reyes may be heading for season ending elbow surgery and Laffey is out 4-6.

Also, I didn’t realize our team doctor was Dr. Chicken Dance. Mario, when do you graduate? This guy probably needs some help.

About to link to that. The news is bleak. The Indians won’t be back to a “normal” rotation it seems until near the All-Star break. That is really bad. The Indians really need to put together an improbable winning stretch now…because the season might really be over in two weeks.

During my brief stint in baseball, we had short pants, tall socks, and tall stirrups.

(I was a shortstop! Couldn’t hit, and couldn’t throw, but I was the only kid on the team who could field. Shortly thereafter I developed a freakish fear of the ball and spent my entire time on the field flinching.)

You wonder how close this comes (as far as WPA deficit) as the Seattle comeback in 2001. It has to be really close.

Jason Isringhausen’s WPA = -.952

are you telling me there is life to this team?

by Roger Dorn on May 25, 2009 10:00 PM EDT reply actions  

That had to be one of the worst overall pitching performances in a game I’ve ever seen.

It was the rally nausea I’ve been experiencing the past 15 minutes.

Just don’t expect me to do this for every game.

I believe in Carl Pavano.

I walked in and turned on the game right before the walk to make it 10-8. Was afraid to post in fear of the jinx

by Roger Dorn on May 25, 2009 10:04 PM EDT reply actions  

I brought up Gameday at the same time. I had left my computer when it was 7-0. Wow!

If you believe it's just a game, you're also probably wondering why Santa keeps skipping your house every year.

Congrats guys. I’ve been watching from afar through your many bullpen torch jobs. You deserved this one.

is -0.952 WPA the new record? I think I remember Wickman’s… um… “indiscretion” in 2006(?) to be around -.900?

The Indians are now 2-1 this year when Ryan Garko hits a homer. 1-0 when he hits 2 home runs.

by woodsmeister on May 25, 2009 10:13 PM EDT reply actions  

I think we should play him every day in hopes that he runs into one
