I like the FedEx guy, because he is a drug dealer and he doesn't even know it

Here's the next Lefty of the Week for the Tribe bullpen: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130607&content_id=49924372&vkey=news_cle&c_id=cle


Think that's a bit overstated? Here are the Indians' LHP bullpen roster moves so far:
  • 4/2 Huff outrighted to Columbus
  • 4/12 Hagadone recalled
  • 4/28 Barnes recalled
  • 4/30 Barnes optioned to Columbus
  • 5/1 Hagadone optioned to Columbus
  • 5/5 Barnes recalled
  • 5/6 Hagadone recalled
  • 5/9 Barnes optioned to Columbus
  • 5/13 Huff selected from Columbus
  • 5/16 Hagadone optioned to Columbus
  • 5/23 Barnes recalled. Huff DFA
  • 5/27 Hagadone recalled
  • 6/1 Barnes optioned to Columbus
The only pen lefty to stay on the roster all season, Rich Hill, has an ERA of 7.94 and a WHIP of 1.941, both highest among the current staff. The pen lefty with the lowest ERA and WHIP? That guy who some here on BP have said the Indians ought to DFA immediately: Hagadone with an ERA of 6.35 and 1.412 WHIP.

BTW, Huff was claimed off waivers by the Yankers and added to their ML roster on 5/25, then DFA on 5/28. On 6/2 the Yankers announced that Huff had cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to AAA Scranton.

Anyone arguing the attendance issue needs to look at this: It has been 65 years since Cleveland won the World Series. Sixty-fucking-five years.

And every God-damned year they choke right around fucking June/July. Who wants to watch this shit?

They will be in last place before August.

Another in an endless line of 2000's Indians first round flops. It's takes real effort to draft as poorly as they did for 10+ years.

Seen the rest of the AL Central? No question that the Tribe is in another freefall but it's not like the rest of the division has gained on them much during it.

Particularly frustrating is that it seems like every game there are at least a couple plays where somebody--and they all seem to take turns being that guy--makes a lazy or boneheaded play that gives the other team an extra out or base, which then quickly turns into another run or three. Right now Tito looks about as helpless trying to get these bums to play hard as Manny Acta did last August

Losing is ingrained in these bums. It's like that smell of smoke after a housefire...you never get it out.

On a positive note at least Carrasco did not hit anyone yesterday so that is a step in the right direction while McAllister goes on the 15 day DL:shake:

Can I sign up for a spot in the rotation now? I think I can get the ball over the strike zone
