Comments on: The Indians enter the season's second half http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2009/07/16/the-indians-enter-the-seasons-second-half/ Musings on the world of sports Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jason http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2009/07/16/the-indians-enter-the-seasons-second-half/comment-page-1/#comment-5972 Jason Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:01:01 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/?p=3491#comment-5972 It just shows how out-of-touch the Tribe fanbase is when someone posts a comment like this on Castrovince's article above: "The owner is the only problem this team has." Wow. That's just so unbelievably absurd, it's hard to formulate words. Castrovince himself, however, seems to be pretty out-of-touch, falling into the trap of thinking Cleveland has one of the best run-scoring offenses in baseball. Come ON. As long as this mythical fallacy is believed by the media and front office, we will never take steps to improve it. How hard is it to see that our 22-run outbursts are strict abberrations vs. horrible pitching? Day in and day out, are we hitting enough to score 5 runs per game? Absolutely NOT. And we'll never win this division until we assemble a lineup with some power that will help us score 5 runs per game. Don't think homeruns matter? Check the stats of when we hit one, versus when we don't. The won-loss record is like night and day.
