They'll win enough this month to not be buyers or sellers at the deadline...ensuring we are stuck with the same months of mealy-mouthed mountain of mediocrity next year

Coming into this weekend's series the Tribe and Bucs are 12-12 against each other, all time. Both teams have scored 105 runs.
I like Cleveland's chances to take this series because I don't trust Charlie Morton and Jeff Locke any further than I could throw them.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
This is usually manifested in the ceremonial first pitch. The Lake County Captains — Cleveland's Single-A squad — took it a step further. They donned Ohio State jerseys, and then they proceeded to get their asses kicked.
Captains drop one to Lansing, 11-3.

That's desecration, and I won't stand for it. If you're going to fly Ohio State's colors then handle your business accordingly. Don't rob banks. Don't get drubbed by a Single-A team from Lansing. These are basic principles.
I assume Ohio State's lawyers will be working through the weekend to sue the Captains out of existence.

Really brought the bats with them to Pittsburgh, didn't they?

Indians finish the first half at 38-43 (.469)
In the second half, they need to go 43-38 (.531) just to hit the .500 mark.
They need to go 52-29 (.642) to hit 90 wins (the probable amount necessary for playoff spot). Essentially, this team needs to morph into the 1995 squad to have any chance at making the playoffs. Not gonna happen.
Kansas City is on pace for 94 wins. The Indians need to go 56-25 (.691) to hit 94 wins.
Good thing that their shitty April doesn't mean anything right now.
EDIT: On a side note, I'm out doing errands yesterday. It's just after 3 o'clock and I turn the game on the radio. The Indians are leading 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth. The first pitch that I hear: a single by Neil Walker to tie the game. The next pitch: Andrew McCutchen blasts a two-run double (the eventual game winner) to make the score 5-3. I turn off the radio after one minute of entertainment. I'm done with this team.

And they'll keep Aviles (admittedly he has extenuating circumstances), they'll keep Murphy, they'll keep all 500 lefthanders in the bullpen...they will do nothing to improve this team.

Kevin Warren is an ass
I would get rid of Santana before I would get rid of either one of the two guys mentioned above. I cannot think of one thing that Santana does positively for a supposedly switch-hitting power first basemen. I can hardly wait for Swisher to return to the lineup

Ya'all just SO negative. This team is showing such positivity. For example, they had no (charged) errors last night! Could you have said that about many games in April?
And the new kiddy playground has a big slide. Plus don't forget that new District ticket includes a beer. And the Indians had a player named to the American League All Star team..........

Yes and no....
They were 8-14 on May 1st. Mets were 16-8 and the Nationals were 10-14.
On June 1st, Washington was 28-22 (18-8), the Mess were starting to fall apart at this point and were 29-23 (7-15), while the Indians were 24-26 (16-12 for the month of May)....
I guess the point is you can have a shitty April if your team is talented like Washington or Baltimore and a few others are right now.
As it was, they went 16-12 in May, which isn't a bad record at all, the problem is they followed May with a 12-15 June and are all but out of everything but the 2nd Wild Card with teams like Baltimore, Toronto, Tampa, Texas, Houston and Minnesota (all with better pitching staffs) ahead of Cleveland right now. The real problem is the Indians are almost exactly on their Pythagorean stat for wins and losses - they've played like a .471 team (their winning pct is .469), so I wouldn't expect great improvement since the stats show they haven't greatly underachieved (like say Toronto has or Oakland has).....
