What in the world are they doing? They traded Cliff Lee for 4 prospects. 2 of the prospects are injured. They are making it very difficult to be an Indians fan.

Dam they been doing that since I was a kid and Im no spring chicken....I froze my azz of many a games in that stadium on the water wondering WTF are they doing!

I know me too. I just can't believe they did it again. They were 1 game away from the World Series 2 years ago. How in the hell did that happen?

I kinda lost interest in baseball when they banned Pete Rose for Life. I always was a HUGE Big Red Machine Fan!!!!!! Havnt followed the Indains or Reds much since!

Cleveland has fans

Some might argue but yes they do.

There has been alot of crap in baseball. I just love the game.

I loved the game when i was a kid..I be damn if im gonna keep watching and find a favorite player and then find out well you know..And i am a BIG redlegs fan not so much thanks too The drugs

Can't wait for football..I do watch baseball in october though

I love football too. Football players have been juicing for years. Playing baseball as a kid was alot of fun.

Well...my thanks and appreciation go out to the front office team in Cleveland.

They just made it that much easier for the Tigers to win the Central.

They certainly have. I don't think there done yet getting rid of players either...

I swear they are going to trade everybody on the team. Now Victor Martinez to the freakin Red Sox. WTF.....

okay i will try and make some kind of positive light towards the cliff lee trade......

lee was a cy young pitcher last year, ya know why?

bc he had no pressure on him, they throw him in the rotation as the ace...he is placed against other aces...he then has a record of what? 6 and 11? or whatever, i dont know....

so i am okay with that...

martinez? i cant justify that as easy...however i will say this...

he is a catcher...catchers have bad knees..

martinez probably has maybe 2 more good years, and i say GOOD...he has maybe one great year left...

only thing i dont like? is sending him somewhere in the american league...so he was on TV crying, let him cry...bc guess what?

there is no crying in baseball...

we will be okay...the indians will be okay...we got a potential of 7 great ball players

what bothers me? losing francisco. that is what bothered me in all of this.........but, we still have sizemore, and if we can do something in the next two years, he will resign...what you think newark???

I agree with you actually. Except why now? Both Lee and Martinez had club options at a pretty good rate for next year. So they have basically already given up on next year. That sucks. Plus, who in the hell is going to pitch. Jeremy Sowers? I do agree why throw in Ben. He was having trouble hitting but he is a very good defensive player.

i think they threw him in to make sizemore happy, honestly....


had to, only reason i can think of...bc with sizemore's bad arm...if francisco kept playing good, guess what happens? controversy

and we dont want that...bc sizemore is AMAZING

ya know? so this way...just ride the season out, let sizemore rest...his arm is all to hell...even with LEE...he isnt anything anyways...and with martinez...the indians would have finished in 3rd place........now? we can work on these new guys...let carmona do what he is doing in the minors...

come out next year?
who knows? maybe we're lookin at a 80 and 82 season? lol

on that note - i gotta run


good talkin baseball with you man!

keep it up...ill be seeing you around in here i hope!

Unless he is willing to give Cleveland a big time " hometown discount " the chances of the Indians holding on to him are very, very slim.

The Indians are one of those teams, like the Twins, that just don't want to pay anyone big money.

Well I did listen to the game tonight and I was very surprised we won. yes it was without Fransisco and Victor and Doerosa, sorry about the spelling. But the key is we did it! I'm going to go to an indians game I hope sometime next week or the week after if they're still in Cleveland and not on the road. But I'm coming to see my family from Minnesota, and guess the twins are gonna follow me to Ohio but I don't root for them lol. But yeah, I was mad about all the trading to, but after seeing them win, I wonder if they've still got some guts left in them after all? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I know. Its still baseball. I hope you have a good time at the game. It's a great ballpark..
