Sup Tribe
So how bout them tribe..
A clean sweep of the pathetic Tigers (real tough), 2/3 vs the Yanks (damn you Giambi), and an amazing 9th inning comeback last night..damn gina.
I mean first off Detroit sux and for them to think they have a ballclub that can compete is absurd. They can take their streaky Chris Shelton's and shove it. Bonderman might be good, but he's on the Tigers..sux for him. So without wasting another breath on that club, we came oh so close vs the Yanks as my buddy Aaron hit up all 3 games. He said the first two were sweet, but damn Giambi killed us in the third. I questioned if he had been tested yet and read he has been 3 times and passed. Still..the yankees suck.
Oh and last night..wow. For those of you who aren't aware, KC took a five-run lead into the 9th, but that didn't seem to phase the Tribe. We scored 11 runs..yes 11 runs amongst 14 batters. Big Game Jhonny hit another HR..which now a days is no surprise at all. 8 of the runs were unearned given they had 3 errors in the inning. Just to rip on another team in the Central besides the pathetic Tigers, the Royals are one loss shy of the longest skid in franchise history.
Check out this comment from Boone, "It was pretty wild in the dugout. It was a pretty exciting atmosphere. It was like a little kid's feeling. We were giddy. You can't believe what's happening." Did he say giggidy??
Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "I've never played, managed or coached a game like that. To see a big-league game like that is unheard of. I've never seen anything like that. I hope I don't see it again." Only bad thing on the night is that I have Mike MacDougal on my fantasy team..ouch..he allowed 7 runs (5 earned) while recording just two outs in the ninth.
So the Tribe is 13-5 since July 22..not bad..not bad at all.
Side Notes: For the past few days I was out of town in Red Sox nation, but actually received some Tribe love. These massholes def knew the Tribe were turing the corner as aballclub and agreed next year we were a team to mess with. I mean granted it's this year and we should only care about the now, it takes time and at least we are on our way. Overall, nice to know the team we used to beat up in the late 90's is once again feelin the fear..

Fuckin' A. It's a glorious time to be a Tribe fan right now. With six weeks to play, we are just starting to peak. And with all these games agains the bottom dwellers of the AL, we should be in the thick of it till the end. Now to all you bandwagon fans out there in Cleveland, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Buy some cheap tix, go down to the Jake and cheer on this exciting, young team. Go TRIBE!!!
