Indians drop 10th straight

]]> I’m sure everyone noticed that C.C. Sabathia won his first game with the Milwaukee Brewers this week, yet his former team – the Cleveland Indians – have dropped 10 consecutive contests. General Manager Mark Shapiro better hope that Matt LaPorta is on track to make the majors this season, otherwise his team could be falling well past the Seattle Mariners and the Washington Nationals with the worst record in the entire league.

You already know my feelings on the Sabathia trade. The Indians didn’t get enough in return for the former Cy Young Award winner. Shapiro jumped the gun and sold off Sabathia out of panic.

Believe it or not, there are a few diehard Indians’ fans left (no – this is isn’t a Major League movie). Check out this video of one fan’s attempt at a tribute to his favorite team.

Cleveland robbed by Milwaukee

]]> I’m not sure why, but the Cleveland Indians haven’t figured it out yet. They have been robbed by the Milwaukee Brewers after trading away last year’s AL Cy Young Award winner C.C. Sabathia. The Brewers are only a few papers away from obtaining Sabathia and in exchange, they gave up a few minor leaguers. Sure, future slugger Matt LaPorta was included in the deal, but Cleveland could have received much, much more for C.C.

The deal is just about ready to be announced. With the acquisition of Sabathia, the Brewers could possibly have the best 1-2 punch in the National League, in Ben Sheets and C.C.

And lucky for Cleveland that they signed Jeff ‘Dream’ Weaver to a minor league deal! I can’t wait until he’s back in the bigs taking over for Sabathia! Hopefully the Indians’ General Manager Mark Shapiro will understand that he could have held out another week or so and picked up a huge package that could have kept his team in contention. Maybe next week the Indians will send Cliff Lee off to the Cardinals for some beer to go with the bratwursts they just received from Milwaukee.
