Re-sign Kippy and pick up Kluber's option for next season and trade both of them for some good youth and get the rebuild on its way. Might think about Mr. Smile while they are at it. His smiling and yakking it with opposing players is starting to wear on me along with his average with RISP.

I honestly think Kip and Kluber might both be gone. Neither may be worth what they would have to pay them to keep them, not for the miserly Dolan. Kluber makes much more sense to pay, but moreso to keep as insurance to help insure some SP depth and as you said he will be a trade chip next July. I think this should be the end of Kip in Cleveland for sure - he has mailed it in ever since losing the World Series and coming back fat and out of shape.

Against the Twins, the Tribe was 4 for 21 (.190) with runners in scoring position. Same shit all season, but it really shows against good teams.

Was watching a portion of the game in our breakroom yesterday and the announcers mentioned the Tribe has the best record in the MLB against teams under .500. As you mentioned, it's when they play good teams they shit the bed...

Only a half game out of the second Wild Card spot after the win tonight and a Rays loss to the Dodgers.

The schedule seems to help the Tribe the next 7-8 games. TB has 1 more with the Dodgers, 4 vs Boston and 2 vs the Yankees before finishing with the lowly Blue Jays. Cleveland has 2 more with the craptastic Tigers, 3 vs the mediocre Phillies and 3 at the middling White Sox before a tough turn at the end with 3 at Washington.

LOL, fuck *ichigan.

Let's be direct here: This shouldn't happen at the major league level. One team should not go 18-1 against another. It feels almost impossible in a sport where the spread between the best winning percentages and worst winning percentages is not as large as in the NBA or the NFL. Bad teams beat good teams all the time. It's the nature of baseball.

But it happened. The Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 7-0 on Thursday, finishing the season series with an 18-1 record against Detroit. That had never happened before. Since the majors split into divisions in 1969, no team had defeated an opponent 18 times. Since the format of 19 games against division opponents began in 2001, the best record had been 17-2 (including the Yankees against the Orioles this season).
