Holy shit the Indians are not good
Is it too late for me to change my AL Central pick? 1-7? Good lord, them’s some Washington Nationals-type numbers. Looking back at what I said, I had them pegged at "they’ll do well enough to win a weak division." In retrospect, it’s looking like they won’t even do well enough to win the NL West. To be sure, seven losses ain’t never ruled nobody out of the playoffs — the Indians could very well go 154-0 for the rest of the season. But, man, it’s not looking likely. My boy Mark DeRosa and his .542 OPS aren’t exactly lighting the world on fire, but at least Woody hasn’t blown a save yet. Of course, that’s on account of the Indians haven’t had a save situation yet. 1.50 WHIP? Get that shit under control, Woody!
So where the hell did this Kosuke Fukudome come from? More to the point, can we keep this one? He’s a lot better than the one we had last year. That 1.325 OPS is absolutely sick. There’s something to be said for a line that looks like .417 / .533 / .792 / 1.325, and that something is: horry kow! Yeah, I still find it funny that those awful, tacky t-shirts are still around. The funny part being, of course, that everyone would have forgotten about them real fast except that every baseball journalist shit himself trying to be more outraged and offended than everybody else, and they got a whole lot of free publicity. Good work, you fucking hacks.
Congratulations to the Orioles for a pretty remarkable job of beating up on teams that are much, much better than they are. Exactly like I said, their offense is a goddamn force, and so far other teams just haven’t pounced on their pitching enough. I mean, it’s going to happen; the sky is going to fall, just like it does every season. But you’ll always have April! Just like you do every season.
