What a choke job by the Indians....

Wow... quite a meltdown down the stretch...

I'm inclined to agree. I figured the Tribe would have swept the Sox after seeing the starting lineups the Sox put out this weekend.

MAJOR LEAGUE!!!

Hahahahahahahah!

Eh I honestly kind of expected it. With as hot as we were for week after week, you had to expect a comedown sometime. It just happened to be the last week of the season.

Does Wickman usually wait to get the game ball after he finishes an inning? I noticed that watching the Chicago broadcast of the game...not sure if Cleveland saw it. Maybe he's already decided to retire?

I think that guy installed my new plumbing earlier this year.

How is it a choke job? 'Ran out of gas' would better describe what happened to that team. A choke job would describe the White Sox had the Indians taken that division away from them.

Being a Cleveland sports fan all of my life, sans the Brownies that is, this is just what life is like. We are born losers...it's our lot in life.

I know exactly what you're talking about. You guys remember the 1999 ALDS?

I believe losing 6 of your last 7 games AND getting swept by a half-assed, playoff-preparing White Sox team (should I even mention Friday night's game?) would be the very definition of a choke job.

With the lineup the ChiSox fielded this series, the were pratically expecting to lose 2 of 3.

Face it, they choked.

You were born in the salt mine? :Q

When you guys going to get off that roller coaster? I live near Cleveland and don't even know who their quarterback is, let alone Indians pitchers!

Last time I paid any attention to sports, here or anywhere, Marty Schottenheimer was coach. Guess he just wasn't good enough.
