In the interim

Look it's Friday, and I've got better things to do than write up this last Tribe series Here's my short list of thoughts.

- Why release Chulk instead of Kobayashi?
- Anyone who thinks the Indians will trade Cliff Lee this season is a moron. OK it could happen but it would have to be a huge trade.
- Jhonny Peralta is still killing me. Mr. Peralta's work ethic is now in question.
- Laffey to the bullpen makes sense. That's not to say it was the right move, but I get it.
- Sowers could be good, like Carl Pavano good, maybe.
- Those 12 runs last night suuuucccckkkked.
- I hate it when sportswriters contribute the Cavs success totally to the luck.
- This bullpen is more Mark Shapiro's fault than Eric Wedge's. But who you going to fire?
- Splitting the series with the Red Sox might be as good as this team can do.
- Yes this team is better than they're playing and have been playing, but that's how baseball goes sometimes.
- You should listen to Tom Hamilton every chance you get. His disgust with the play of this team sometimes makes me feel better.

Tonight we start a three-game home series with Detroit.

Game 1: Justin Verlander, RHP (2-2, 5.66) vs. Cliff Lee, LHP (1-4, 3.92)
