For us it is entertainment. If I was paying my staff such salaries I would fire who was responsible for them not producing. In this case it is not Leyland as you probably would jump to blame. The blame ought to be placed on who negotiated the contracts. Obviously missing some serious terms and conditions. In the future we ought to see scaled wages according to performance. This would automatically create more incentive and drive As well would make player more cautious on their off time, instead hurting your finger moving boxes. When your hands are your tools to making money you treat them like gold. Such scaled wages would avoid causing such unnecessary heart palpitations for investors. I feel for them. If Zumaya, Rodney, and Granderson were playing this would not have happended. Granderson is a team player with the glue that congeals the entire team. We need him.

Since I'm trying to remain positive I keep telling myself that this is the best time to have your struggles. Better to lose six straight in April than in September. All this talk will stop if they would just go out and win a game.

From here on out they have 156 games... to become the 93-win team you figure they need to be, they essentially have to play like a 97-win team (.596 W%) for the rest of the season just to get 93 wins. Still, I'm not convinced it'll take 93 wins. The Indians have significant weaknesses, too, and nobody else in the Central seems ready to compete. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if the Royals finished 3rd, but that's assuming our Tigers eventually pass them. :) While it’s true that the poor start doesn’t indicate that they’re a bad team, it hurts their chances just by being six losses already.
