WorkingAllTheTime Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 BC, did you see Soler, Baez, and Bryant go back to back to back against the Indians yesterday? Nah, I didn't. This month's been getting really busy for me with the end of term coming up so I haven't been paying much attention to baseball. Probably going to not be paying much attention until May when I have a breather.And when Kris Bryant gets called up so he's under team control till 2021. I went to an Iowa Cubs game a couple years back, it was a ton of fun.Two years ago they might have been better than the major league club. :) ^Truth. As a Cardinal fan, I look at Soler and think he could be the next real deal Cardinal killer. He's gotta stay healthy, but something about the guy screams clutch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know were any of this hype has any merit whatsoever but it dose seem to be the trend by the media this year. Cleveland is competitive that's for certain in the AL Central. All the way up to the last week 2014 season they were in playoff contention. But they didn't improve at all in the off season offensively where they desperately need improvement besides Michael Brantley who was one of the bright spots in the lineup. Pitching Tribe looks quite good that's the strong point but defensive errors were a nightmare last season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of any curse to be honest, I just wanted a chance to type Aspromonte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps thinking about the movie Major League :) But yes there was or still is? A fabled curse to explain the Indians decades of non championship success.(But what about our other teams sport failures?) It is called the curse of Rocky Colavito, involving a trade of Cleveland fan favorite Colavito 1959 Home run champion and Tigers Harvey Kuenn hitting champ spring of 1960.The architect of the trade was then Indians GM Dick "trader" Lane who completely dismantled a winning Indians team trading everyone whom he inherited in a short time span of two years. The Colavito, Kuenn trade was a disaster for Cleveland and the downward spiral of miserable baseball began as fans stayed away and losing seasons lasted well into the early 1990's. Cleveland sports writer Terry Pluto wrote a entertaining book on it called "The Curse Of Rocky Colavito" A loving look at a thirty year slump 1960-1993 Edited April 3, 2015 by softfilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to try to find the book. I think the Indians averaged being 20 games out during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Twins SP Ervin Santana suspended 80 games for PEDs. There goes the Twins' shot at the playoffs. Just kidding, they had no shot. But now they're probably even money to lose 100 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Twins SP Ervin Santana suspended 80 games for PEDs.I don't get why this should happen now adays... you know you will be tested and there are millions of dollars on the line if you are busted/suspended. Is it carelessness or it won't happen to me attitude, but I gotta get that edge? Not to mention the damage to a reputation...
