Not that the Tigers are good, but I just had that feeling. We handled it in the best possible fashion, so the optimism is peaking, but its gonna take one helluva Sept. Too bad we dug ourselves such a big hole. <BR/><BR/>And I'm waiting for the first person to say, "imagine if we had CC right now". Maybe tag in there Byrd and Blake too. Don't be that person.

But who knows? Maybe this team was SO BAD for the entire first half that they have enough packed away for the finish, especially when they're getting a fresh Victor (amongst others) back soon. <BR/><BR/>Reality says, however, that they don't have the horses on the staff similar to what carried them on a sustained run to the wire last year. Especially to track down not one, but two teams well ahead in the standings.<BR/><BR/>PS -- I'm all for bugling the possibilities... root on!Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-15770441712241604262008-08-28T12:17:00.000-04:002008-08-28T12:17:00.000-04:00and by watching quietly you mean, "dont speak abou...and by watching quietly you mean, "dont speak about the possibilities, because if they dont happen, then you look like a fool".<BR/><BR/>listen, i aint the brightest, so i aint worried about that. <BR/><BR/>but if those possibilities do come to fruition, then not a word out of those who chose to "keep quiet" when all your silence was really just an outward showing of the doubt thats going on inside you.<BR/><BR/>(intentional dramatics going on right now)<BR/><BR/>i refuse to fall into the pit of cleveland mentality that throws in the towel early and whines the rest of the way. that trash if for cubs fans. i wont do it.<BR/><BR/>why not be vocal about the excitement. this is what its all about. "the chance" that this whole thing could play out for our benefit. the twins have hit a wall and arent playing the best ball right now. the white sox have a beast of a schedule for the month of september. and we're hot. <BR/><BR/>i just read a message board filled with laughter from white sox fans who were asked "do the indians have a chance".piss on laying low for the rest of the season and talking about next year. my goal that is slowly turning into a dream would be to buy a ticket to the white sox last game of the year on the 28th of september when they face the tribe. and at the conclusion of our victory, hoist up the grandest size replica i can produce of ozzie doing the choke sign. oh how sweet it would be!<BR/><BR/>i have hope.csusihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575419830013173006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-50755134193792061392008-08-28T11:34:00.000-04:002008-08-28T11:34:00.000-04:00csusi, way to go...i bet you walk up to your buddi...csusi, way to go...i bet you walk up to your buddies at a craps table and say "wow, you guys are doing awesome, i can't believe how hot this table is!" please continue to watch quietly from a safe distance.<BR/><BR/>thank youCy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-31549683689288353152008-08-28T10:26:00.000-04:002008-08-28T10:26:00.000-04:00does anybody else pee in there pants a little bit ...does anybody else pee in there pants a little bit with this thought:<BR/><BR/>we are the hottest team in baseball with 10 straight wins. one more win and our games back deficit will be dwindled to a single digit number.<BR/><BR/>with that<BR/><BR/>we go into a 2 game series against the worst team in baseball.<BR/><BR/>from there into a 3 game homestand with the white sox.<BR/><BR/>now, do we all have the understanding that IF and i repeat IF, we win these next five games the possibility is there for us to be only 5.5 games out of first. thats with 23 games left to play. <BR/><BR/>yep, a little pee just came out.csusihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575419830013173006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-82074106144845696262008-08-28T00:17:00.000-04:002008-08-28T00:17:00.000-04:00and an intriguing spelling of "demeanor"but in all...and an intriguing spelling of "demeanor"<BR/><BR/>but in all seriousness, I tune in to the Tribe's games in large part to watch Grady play, just as I do here in Texas with Hamilton, Young and Kinsler<BR/><BR/>those of you young enough will be boring future generations with the fact that you actually saw Sizemore play in person, the same as one hears of Mantle or MusialREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803860060922533055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-76318440812203162592008-08-27T11:27:00.000-04:002008-08-27T11:27:00.000-04:00ryan,Fixed.B-Ref must not have updated their numbe...ryan,<BR/>Fixed.<BR/>B-Ref must not have updated their numbers when I was putting it together.<BR/>PCPaul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-71491877107452584372008-08-27T10:42:00.000-04:002008-08-27T10:42:00.000-04:00I think Grady has four homers this month, not 2.
