Predictions&Projections

It is the end of Janurary, and the preseason predictions and projections are in full force. PETCOA procects the Tribe to finish 74-88. Many preseason mags like Sporting News, Athlon and Lindys pick the Tribe to finish 4th or Last. Every one is drinking the White Sox and the Twins kool aid. Whoever is picked to win the division by these alledged experts, that team does not get the job done. Tittles are won on the field, not on paper! Lets wait until the teams play some games in spring training.

ROSE BOWL

Buckeyes beat Oregon 26-17 . Terrelle outplayed Masoli. The off and def lines for OSU were the difference . Pac 10 goes 2-5. GO IOWA HAWKEYES . Beat GA TECH!

Merry XMAS

I hopere you enjoyed your Xmas. Cavs routed the lakers 102-87 at Staples Center. Now to top it, Buckeyes beat Oregon at the Rose Bowl game in Pasadena. Every expert is picking the ducks because of their offense. The question is the Ducks defense. As for the Tribe ,I believe Manny Acta will turn this team around. They are too good to stink.

ITS OVER

TRIBE ends the season badly. They need a new manager and coaching staff . I hpoe Jake Westbeook comes back and pitches well . Fausto needs to spot his pitches better . Carracsco needs to do the same. Also the hoiiters need to cut down the strikeouts and make better contact. Shapiro should have Charles Nagy be the pitching coach.

Rants N Raves

Tribe lost their last 3 games scoring one ******* run. They need to do the little things correctly like pitchers be more effecient. Make every play on defense. Pitch inside to keep hitters honest and stop giving walks. Hitters should move runners better by putting the ball in play and stop wiffing into air. This team should not wait for the 3 run HR.

DISAPPOINTED

Tonight the Cavs lost to ORL 4games to 2. Lebron needs more help like a center who can defend Dwight Howard and bigger guards. Tribe lost to NYY 10-5 . Fausto needs to be sent down to Columbus to work on his command and control. Grady needs to go on the DL . His elbow is hurting. 

Rants N Raves

When TB won yesterday,the manager ****** the lineup card. the umpires should make TB forfeit the game . If any manager should be able to do is fill the lineup card properly. I work at a movie theatre and when I work in concessions, I make sure the food is fresh. If I make a guest sick, I would get sued and fired on site. Buckeyes will play UGA in softball in Athens. Cavs will play ORL in the East finals.

Rants N Raves

Today Tribe bullpen was the gascan again. TOR scored 7 runs in the 7th to win 10-6. The front offfice needs  to figure out why the relief pitching is pitching like ****. The hitting is fine. Starting pitching is doing OK. Bullpens can make a manager look like a wizard or a fool.

WHATS GOING ON?

Tribe lost to DET 3-1. Cliff deserved a better fate. Tribe offense struck out way too much. Put the ball in play, something good will happen. Poor Matt LaPorta. He had to face Velander. He had no chance to get a base hit. Grady neeeds to do some slump busting in a big way.   Cavs will play ATL in the 2nd round . Buckeyes in baseball no hit Mich on Sat. Buckeye softball swept NW.

CAN ANYONE PITCH?

Fausto tonite pitched well but the bullpen coughed up a 5-2 lead into a 6-5 loss. Bentancourt & J. Lewis pitched like gascans. Kerry was not available to pitch. If this keeps going on, heads will roll. I would like Matt LaPorta be called up, but he is not ready . The pitching needs to be tweaked .
