Darn - I hate to say this but after an 11 - 1 start the first week the Tribe is in a fast slide down the toilet !

Well, who didn't see that comin'?

The analysts a week ago were making Colon and Sabathia sound like Unit & Schilling... Pittsburgh and Montreal are soon due for reality checks (their first western trip at the latest).

Long winning streaks followed by long losing streaks are the sign of a bad manager: they don't have a clue s to why things are going right during the winning streak, so they don't have a clue as to how to fix things when the losses pile up.

Charlie Manuel is clueless.

Hey, it's not the Indians' fault that they've had to play the best team in the league seven of the last ten games. A team with the leading run-getter (Lofton) and RBI guy (Konerko) in baseball. A team which has won five straight series, thirteen of its last sixteen, leads the majors in offense and is third in the league in pitching.

I just hope they don't run away with the division as fast as they did in 2000, when the players got rusty before the Mariners series and fans kind of forgot about them because they weren't in a race. Come on Twins! Keep up!
