The Indians at the trade deadline (more or less).
If you missed the news, the Indians traded top prospects Drew Pomeranz and Alex White as well as Joe Gardner and Matt McBride for Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. It’s a gamble, but it shows that the Tribe is all in, and I’m not going to cry over lost prospects when we want to win now and for the next couple of years.

Sorry, guys!
I’ve been out of school and working, thus a severe lack of updates. I have, however, been keeping up on all things Cleveland sports, promise!
Here’s some news, if you haven’t already heard it:
The Cavs drafted Duke PG Kyrie Irving at 1 overall, and Texas PF Tristian Thompson at 4th. I approve.
The Indians recalled their number one prospect, 3B Lonnie Chisenhall, from AAA...
The next time John Buccigross says that the Indians are “regressing to their mean,” I’m going to drive to Bristol and punch his face into jelly.

Three Straight Losses?!?
Still time to jump off the Indians ship before it sinks!
Just kidding, but as Tony Rizzo from ESPN Cleveland (AM 850) said, the national media is probably hoping for a collapse, just so they can once again show the Drive, the Fumble and Jose Mesa clip montage.
Still the best in baseball, and they’ll more likely than not be in the AL Central race down the stretch in September.
Everybody...

Why I hate sports... →
I found this article on the web awhile ago… written about a guy who dislikes sports. I have tweaked it below to fit any of the Cleveland followers who do not care about sports, which seem to be the minority but are still just as important!!! No offense to the fans of course, we have mad respect for you all, too!
Cleveland and Sports… Meh…
I admit it. I don’t carry my...
MOTHER FUCKING O-CAB DRIVES IN THE WINNING RUN! GO TRIBE!
Detroit has opted to load the bases. Orlando Cabrera will be at bat with one out and bases loaded.
Intentional walk to Choo. Choo at first, Brantley on second, Carlos Santana at bat with one out.
Sac-bunt by Asdrubal, Brantley gets to third, one out, Choo at bat.
BRANTLEY GETS TO SECOND ON A WILD THROW TO FIRST! IN SCORING POSITION, NO OUTS!
Brantley singles in the second base-first base gap. Noice. No outs.
UND ZEE POP OUT! Top of the thirteenth coming up. LET’S WIN THIS MOTHER FUCKER!
Okay, so we’re at two outs, runner held at second in the top of the thirteenth inning.
That’s three K’s. We’re into the thirteenth inning.
Kearns strikes out, too. Lou Marson (0-4) is up. 2 outs.
LaPorta strikes out. Our ol’ buddy Kearns is up.
And, top 12, LaPorta is up.
12th inning. Hannahan got K’d.
Runners at the corners, Hannahan up with 2 outs, 0-2 count.
Santana walked. I’m having a goddamn cigarette (first in two days!). GO TRIBE!
Choo also grounds out. Our hero, Carlos, is at bat.
A 5-3 ground out sends Asdrubal out. Choo is up.
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
AVILA HITS INTO AN INNING-ENDING DOUBLE PLAY!
We’re heading into the bottom of the eleventh.
Peralta gets a one-out single. Avila is at bat.
After a LONG AB, Raffi gets the K on Raburn. Our ol’ buddy J-Honny Peralta at bat.
Marson gets K’d, too.
Two out, none on, Michaeld Brantley AB. He has a HR tonight.
Wait, err, he just grounded out. We’re at the eleventh inning.
Kearns strikes out. BOOOOOO!
One out, none on, Marson up.
Aaaand, Boesch grounds out. Tribe up, bottom ten. LET’S WIN THIS THING!
Wowie-Zowie (Yes, I just said wowie-zowie, fuck off), Hannahan with a fast-as-fuck throw to Santana at first for the second out of the top of the tenth.
Brennan Boesch at bat.
Rafael Perez just got hisself a K! One out, one on first, top 10.
I’m fucking twenty-two, it’s Saturday, I need a life.
Edit: We’re in extra innings, folks. And as we speak, Raffi Perez is pitching, and some dick from Detroit is on first.
I guess I’m live blogging this.
