I would've thought more than 11 posts about this team trading CC away.

Handle every situation like a dawg:

If you can't eat it or screw it,

piss on it and walk away.

I wonder if it shows that the fans knew the season was over early on.
When so much good pitching was wasted by zero hitting.
And the bullpen blew the chances it had.

Fans are now more concerned about football.

I also wonder if the team knew it was doomed from the start.
Injuries hidden.
CC was gonna be gone.
Wedge has been tuned all of the way out.
The team had zero confidence in the "Closer".

Their lethargic
(for lack of a better word to describe sleeping while playing ball)
play could be ascribed to knowing that Hafner, Jake, and Victor
were hurt going into the season.

Again, I don't think management was honest wrt injuries,
but they don't have to be in the same way that the NFL does.

And one has to wonder about PEDs and this team.
Especially with a bit of history pointing that way.

Wait till next year..!! (It is an odd numbered year.....)

Pretty much the same fans who are bitching about this trade would be
the very same that would be bitching if Shapio let C.C. just walk away
in Oct. LaPorta has hit 32 hrs in just over 400 at bats! Tribe has no
one even close to those numbers in our minor league system. Also WE
didn't have to pay huge bonus $$ to sign him as the 7th over all pick.
