Another October At Home

I said Monday on my show that the Cavs off season has been as
eventful as my love life the first 21 years, uneventful. As the MLB trade
deadline comes and goes, I can`t but be disappointed with the Cleveland
Indians, as the only acquisition was a 40 year old outfielder. A power bat and
bullpen help is something this team has needed since the off season. Sure
Keith Foulke ending his career the day before spring training didn`t help, and
if Rafael Perez didn`t step up, who knows where this club would be right now.
Looking at the final two months of the campaign, the Indians play a bunch
of games that mean everything. In August they play the Twins 7 times, 4 in
the Homer Dome, Detroit 5 times, 3 of which are in Motown and 3 at home
against the Yankees.

Looking at September they play in the Homer Dome 3 more times,
host the Tigers for a 3 game set, and head to Seattle the last week if the season.
The Indians need to win just about every series from here on out, to get into
October. Do I think they can do it? Sure. Will they? I doubt it. They didn`t add
what they needed and we`ll see what happens.

Just remember, when you're watching baseball this October, there`s always next year. The Tribe enters play tonight a half game behind Detroit in the Central, and now just a game and a half ahead of Seattle in the Wild Card, and oh by the way, the Yankees are coming, the Yankees are coming.
