Wow, can't believe they pulled the trigger on a big one.
They now got an ace.... and traded their future to do it: Pomeranz, White, McBride.
I like it, fuck the future.
Get in the playoffs and pitching wins.

Signed through 2012 with club options through 2014.
Before someone bitches about losing White and Pomeranz, I'd like to bring up Jaret Wright & Adam Miller. There is no certainty in the future, they are 1.5 games out right now and just got an ace.
If you don't like this deal you are scared to see Cleveland win.
Go Tribe.

If they can now get into the playoffs, tell me Jimenez, Masterson, & Tomlin is not a 1-3 that can contend in the AL? I wouldn't have done it for a decent bat. But I love it for an ace.... and especially one under contract. |

What chicken shit they aren't going for it Masterson if he had any kind of hitting would be run a away Cy Young winner. Does this deal do shit other than add one more pitcher that hates the guys in the field no. Plus when you factor in what we gave up in comparison to what we got for CC and Lee combined...pathetic.

Is Kearns still on the team?
If "yes," the boycott continues.

Jimenez is supposedly having an "off year" cause he is unhappy with the contract he signed two years ago - maybe a change of scenery will help. But remember - our new 19 game winner, won 15 of those games in the first half of last season.
Still think it was a relatively good move.

In the past year he hasn't been that dominating. Not Lee CC dominating. But he's ours so fuck it.

His ERA on the road is under 3.00. He has just sucked at home, in Colorado.
It was a good move. He's under contract, young, and gives this team a true #1.
And as that Yahoo article points out, few pitching prospects pan out.

Can't bitch about it forever the deal is done. But if Pom and White blow up and Jimenez sux look for Shap and Ant to be job hunting.

What happens if they get into the playoffs and shock the world with a dominating 1-2 SP punch? IF they get into the playoffs UJ and Masterson could be dominant. Tomlin is in every game. Can we win a series with a 3 man punch? Also Choo, Sizemore will be back to go with Fuckudome and Hafner and hopefully Santana turns it on at some point. Right now Travis is the only guy we got trying to carry this team. No wonder he hurt his shoulder carrying all that weight.. But if everything comes out roses we could beat anyone in the playoffs. But we actually got to score more than 2 runs a game to get there first. How'd I forget ACAB?  |

So far this guy is so unimpressive. I just don't get it. There is nothing about his stuff that looks special. Besides...who gives up a homerun to Juan Fucking Pierre?

I'm with ya, however he probably was the best guy we could get for what was paid considering the length of his contract. He's got some stuff, hopefully he can put it all together. If he pitches up to what he is capable of and Carrasco can figure it out - next year's staff is looking special. |

Alex White 5 ER in 6 innings. Pomeranz underwent an emergency appendectomy Saturday season over.  |

In my defense no way you thought he was doing well in the 3rd.

He already had 5 Ks and had only allowed 1 ER. He's not that Verlander fuck but he still impresses me at times. I still like the trade even if we finish in 3rd. Going into next year with him and Masterson up top, Tomlin & Carmona in the middle? Sounds good to me.
BTW, great crowd tonight.
And that clown Thome? He actually won me over a bit in his presser.
Just a bit.
