The feel-good story of 2007 has become a nightmare story of 2008. The Indians are now 11.5 games out and it's only July 2nd. I'm just happy that they have no comeback ability, so once they are behind, I can turn it off and enjoy my day. So with the C.C. Sabathia sweepstakes under way, I don't envy the position GM Mark Shapiro is in. My only hope is that they trade C.C. and still make a run for the playoffs the way the Phillies almost did a couple of years ago when they dealt Bobby Abreu.
The Indians need to go 59-19 to equal last years record, if you care.
Here we go Brownies, Here We Go!
