Five Hundy Here We Come....

As I write this, our Tribe is only 2 games under .500. I know... I know... why haven't I written for so long? Answer: I didn't want to jinx anything. But.... after losing 2 of 3 to the pathetic New York Mess, I figured it didn't matter any more.

Thoughts on last weekend's series against the hated intra-state rival Cincinnati Reds:

Ken Griffey Jr. is a cancer (and I don't mean that's his zodiac sign-- he's a scorpio). In the first game of the series, he hit two balls off the wall both of which he stood and admired for a while before he decided to jog. On one of those, he was held to a single because of his lack of hustle. On other occasions, he was barely speed walking on routine ground balls. All this attitude from a guy batting only .259. This isn't the Ken Griffey Jr. I remember from the Mariners of the 90s. I'd rather have a roids-infested Jose Canseco on my team.
Two Peas in a Pod?

Why did Cliff Lee throw at Ken Griffey? Did he just want to be sure to not give up his 500th homer? I found that a little strange. I'm not sure how they can suspend him for that. Hopefully they don't.

C'mon... seriously... does anybody really care about this "rivalry". It's not quite Yankees/Mets, Cubs/White Sox or Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler. It's more like Expos/Blue Jays or Cleveland Force/Kansas City Comets.

Now That's a rivalry

Yes... its very preliminary to look at it this way... but if the Indians are close to winning the AL Central, it'll be interesting to look at the Interleague play records. Based on winning percentages of opposing teams when interleague play began, the Indians have the fifth hardest schedule in baseball and the Twins have the fourth easiest. Based on 18 interleague games played, this would (statistically) mean a difference of 2 games..... pretty substantial. Just something to think about.

I just reminded myself of Jose Canseco..... what a joke that guy was. Pathetic waste of talent.
Anybody remember who hit that ball?

Weak start to tonight's game versus the Bravos. Hopefully the sticks comes alive. Cliff Lee has hit the hardest ball so far for the Tribe. Boy... he looks like a hitter. Slogan for this series....Whaddya think? Revenge is nigh for '95!

Alright, its stupid.
