Cleveland is a classic example of a choke team with very little chance of even making the playoffs;they showed their true colors by losing 6 of 7 at home to Red Sox and Yankees.

Agreed---agreed---agreed---I like that team---no not a homer but I see many of their games...by default-not because this is my pick of choice...its territorial. Anyhow they have some good players and you know as I know BIG time under performing..IMO they are better than what they have showed...

I dunno if they showed their "true colors" against Bos and NYY. CLearly they've been slumping since the AS break, and NYY has been on a roll. Yeah, they got swept and looked bad, but they've done that against almost everyone the last month. They spent 30 day spans looking great during the first half of the year two. Somewhere in the middle is more of a realistic rating for them though.

As for Borowski, he has no one else to blame but himself today. Walking Dionarr Navarro, with a 1 run lead and 2 outs, is inexcuseable. Even if he lobs one up at 80 mph down the middle, odds are Navarro gets out. Borowski actually has done a pretty good job saving games this year. I think he's 34/30 now. Not great, but far from awful. Most of his bad numbers have been in thos dreaded non-save situations that managers put their closers in and all hell breaks loose.

I think they should win the Central, but they don't match up well with Bos or NYY. Today would have helped to get up 2.5 though.

On a side note, hwo on Earth is there another Mr. Bean movie coming? I just saw a commercial during the SNF game here. Crazy.
