It's ovah...

Ultimately, talent is the great equalizer, and this team has a serious lack in that department. It's been a good run, but this smashes the last sliver of hope I had. Offense is just too impotent, defense is just too bad. Limp across the finish line at .500 and this season has to be considered a success.

For the first time in years, I'm intrigued by what they may do in the offseason. So that makes things a little better...I actually think the FO may be aggressive for the first time in years.

Thank God football is here. Thanks for a fun six weeks Indians, and by virtue of a trash division, another 2.5 months of pretend contention.

I was pretty skeptical of the Ubusto trade when it happened, but my God. Yeah, he had the good start against detroit last time, but his other three have been disasters. It's like watching a skinny Carmona coming apart at the seams out there. I fear we have to hope that White/Pomeranz don't develop to avoid this trade being a total ass raping. Red flags all around the guy, and they did it anyway. :so: In a way, I like what the trade symbolizes...that they're not afraid to make a splash, but I fear they didn't do their due diligence and traded a phenominal pitching prospect for damaged goods. :ohwell:

I knew I didn't like that trade. However, the Indians believe that he just has "mechanical issues" :bonk:

Drew Pomeranz threw seven scoreless innings (retiring 19 batters in a row) in his first Class AA start for the Rockies on Wednesday. The next night at Class AAA Tulsa (Okla.), Alex White threw 7 scoreless innings. White is expected to soon be in Colorado's rotation. As for Jimenez, the Indians believe there are some mechanical issues in his windup that can be fixed, and they believe he is very open to suggestions.

Jiminez gives up another, albeit Jackson should've never scored because he was clearly caught stealing at second but the ump missed an obvious call.

3.1 IP, 8 ER with the guy on first belonging to Jiminez. An absolutely abysmal start. Just fucking terrible and unacceptable from a guy that is supposedly a frontliner. Awful. Fucking awful. Inexcusable.
