Cord Phelps has ignited the offense going 1-11 in his first 3 starts.

And, now. AND now. On to the cellar?

Could be. Still a ways to go to reach the Royals and the Twins, but KC is starting to promote its phenoms and the Twins are a good team, so we could do it. Back in my youth great starts usually ended with .500 records; this year's team has a decent chance to underperform those teams.

Damn. Panic much?

Nick Swisher has brought the runner in from 3rd in 12 of 14 at bats this season.


The Indians are 6 for their last 61 with runners in scoring position.

Quite the contrast.

Spanks up 1-0 in their 4th.

Kearns once more bitten by his shallow play.

Fly ball landed well shy of the track but Kearns couldn't find his way to it quickly enough and it fell for a 2 run double.

Grady struck out with a runner on 2nd last inning, so Indians are now 6 for 62 with RISP in the last two series.

The June swoon is in full bloom

The Tribe is so done that you can stick them with one of those flimsy plastic forks they dole out at cheap burger joints.

Spanks announcers now mentioning that The Tribe brass has stated we will not "mortgage our future" to make a run at in in 2011."

Yanks announcers allude that poor attendance in Cleveland is one of the brass's motivations for that thinking.

Yank announcers further mention the poor economy in the area as told to them by Tom Hamilton. Evidenced by the fact Kenny Chesney only sole 25,000 tix to his Cleveland concert when he normally sells out other venues.

If the Tribe brings this loss home and Detroit wins tonight, the Tigers become the new leader in the AL Central.

This precipitous fall from grace from the Tribe makes Humpty Dumpty look like a piker.

I hope they got all their personal items out of the penthouse.

There is still plenty of time in 2011 to get back to that deluxe apartment in the sky...

Tribe will get there pushing a servant cart.

King Felix is keeping Detroit in check.
