Oh for fuck's sake. This bullpen is comically bad. Somebody explain to me how Betancourt can go from dominant to Borowski so quickly...
Somebody get Doug Jones on the phone.

Four hits against Miguel Batista, Arthur fucking Rhodes and Brandon Morrow. 
The Cleveland Indians: We make nobodies look like future Hall of Famers. :cheers:

They should play the Benny Hill music everytime one of these clowns come out of the bullpen.

Doubt it, Shapiro just won executive of the year last year and he loves him some Eric Wedge. I said all along we got as far as we did last year in spite of Eric Wedge. The man has no idea of how to strategize or apparently motivate. They went in the shitter after they lost game 5 of the LCS last year. You could just tell they were gonna cough that series up after that game. This season, they show no fire or passion whatsoever. Every step forward is followed by another step or two back.
The talent base is here...Grady, Victor, Gutz, Fausto and the young arms in the minors, but they need an overhaul around them. We're stuck with Pronk, and my doubt of him ever returning to form is growing by the day. He's a very expensive #6 or 7 hitter right now. I don't see how this team can manage more than 75 wins this year. If we're out of it in August, Shapiro better move C.C. for some young bats because if he jets without getting anything in return, i'm going to be livid. Shapiro is great at locking up talent that's on the roster, but he's shown pronounced laziness or unwillingness to upgrade the roster from the outside.

Shapiro will never bring in quality free agents
he brings in mediocre player like Dellucci and Michaels for "vetran leadership" and they end up blocking more talented players that are in the minors from playing at the MLB level
bases loaded, lets go sizemore

Looks like Seattle's version of Borowski is gonna give it right back. 
Putz is obviously still not 100%. His control is awful.

Tribe sinks teeth into win Offense finally puts bite on Mariners with RBI single by Cabrera in 11th

CLEVELAND: It didn't feel like a win, and manager Eric Wedge wasn't doing much rejoicing in the wake of the Indians' 3-2, 11-inning victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night at Progressive Field.
Asdrubal Cabrera delivered a two-out, bases-loaded single to bring home the game winner, and Wedge gave his novice second baseman full credit.
''It was like pulling teeth [trying to score], but fortunately Asdrubal stepped up,'' Wedge said. ''He's a big-game player. He's at his best in the last two or three innings of games, and he was again tonight.''
On the other hand, Wedge is tired of watching his team waste scoring opportunities. And even when a run or two crosses the plate, rallies usually are thrust upon his slumping batsmen; they do as little as possible to actively participate.
