I guess the challenge for me every Monday is coming up with a new headline to describe how bad each previous weekend was for the Tribe. Friday actually was a nice win, but in true '08 Indians fashion they followed it up with two bad losses on Saturday and Sunday to the lowly Tigers. It has now been almost a full month since the team notched consecutive wins. Thankfully I was purchasing a new car on Saturday and didn't really have to be subjected to Rafael Betancourt's latest meltdown, although I did hear it on the radio. And yesterday I was half-watching our sad offense at the gym, trying to stay out of the sauna-like weather outside. It has gotten to the point where even an optimistic homer like me knows there's not much reason to watch this team on a daily basis anymore. Sad considering we were one win away from a likely World Series win over the Rockies just 8 months ago.
Even the Tigers are pumped to face the Tribe nowThe Tribe looks to Cliff Lee to end another losing streak tonight. He has obviously been one of the few bright spots this season and will be looking for his 10th win (I'm trying to stay positive here, really). Paul Hoynes sounds about as disgusted as me at this point. Question: How long until Browns training camp? Answer: 48 days or so (not that I'm counting or anything).

Read the Hoynse column. Couldn't help but notice the Peralta dig at your boy, Derek Shelton.
I am afraid to look forward to the Browns. They have a tough schedule. I fear they will be mediocre at best.
I read for the first time the rumors regarding Bentley's initial injury. I'm kinda in shock.
LOL, the sportsgirl is going Wilbon on me, calling Shelton "my boy." I agree, the Browns schedule is tough but I'm ready. This team will be tough.
