Soxfest Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) Personally, I don't believe they're going anywhere this season. They could have won both games with a combined score of 100-0 or lost 100-0 and it wouldn't have changed anything. I doubt the opinions of many others have changed. However, you have to admit -- if you're an optimistic type of person -- that back to back starts such as we've seen with Buehrle and Vazquez cannot happen EVER if we're going to compete. We need consistency out of those two considering the starters who fall behind them. One can fall, but both falling -- and in a limited amount of innings -- is unacceptable. Nice post!

lostfan Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:52 PM) People can hate Uribe all they want and he did fan 3 times in the opener, but he's been seeing as many pitches per at bat as anyone else. I think he will have a good year. Half those are swings and misses at pitches a foot out of the zone though. Same old same old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 After two games, I am amazed at how much of a better team the Indians arethan the White Sox. On another none, where is our Fausto Carmona? And where was Fausto Carmona when the Indians needed him to close out the ALCS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will have a good year. Yeah, a single on a pitch at shoulder level in the 8th inning of a 6-1 ball game after looking terrible in his first two at-bats changes everything.

Sizemore's a stud, but besides him, it's nothing amazing. Hafner really sucks now. The Indians have the two aces at the top though. I still think the Tigers are far and away the best team in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, duh! It just infuriates me so much to think that we can up most of our farm system this offseason, spent a lot of money on relievers, sent down Fields for Crede....and we're still a bad team.

That said, I would wager the Indians win the Division by 3+ games over the Tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
