Indians fans need to start bringing baskets full of vegetables to home games. Then they can pelt JoeBo with tomatoes and heads of lettuce when he inevitably gets shelled.

What makes Borowski worse (and the situation funnier), is that everyone saw that coming a mile away

What makes Borowski worse (and the situation funnier), is that everyone saw that coming a mile away I'm 99% certain that it was Francona's plan to have his team trailing heading into the 9th. That's just smart baseball.

How much longer is this guy going to be their closer? Depends. How long until Indians fans figure out how to make car bombs?

Maybe all Joe needs is a pair of glasses?

Maybe all Joe needs is a pair of glasses? I think he needs a new pitch. His Terminator, Humiliator and Eliminator haven't been working. And Manny crushed his Masturbator.

NEW YORK - Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain left the team after his father collapsed at his home in Lincoln, Neb., the Daily News reported Monday on its Web site.
Harlan Chamberlain was hospitalized Monday at St. Elizabeth Regional Medical Center in Lincoln. Hospital spokeswoman Jo Miller said the family requested that no further information be released. The Daily News said he was in critical condition, according to a nursing supervisor.
Chamberlain, the Yankees' primary setup man, planned to return to Nebraska rather than accompany the Yankees to St. Petersburg, Fla., for a series against Tampa Bay starting Monday night.

www.youtube.com/ watch?v=catKtE77Ows *Broken for language* That scene is exactly what I envisioned occuring in the press box and stands at Progressive Field when Ramirez's bat struck that Borowski pitch.

Speaking of Chamberlian, how come he isnt in the Yankees starting rotation? I thought they were going to make him a starter this year, instead of a setup man.
Also, stupid Blue Jays for sucking it up against Baltimore

I'm still shocked that, with the game on the line, Borowski decided to throw an 82 MPH fastball right over the middle of the plate to Manny.
Game on the line.
82 MPH fastball.
Middle of the plate.

God smurfing DAMN you Borowski...
My unwavering hatred for this man knows no boundaries.
So he's having a meeting with the bosses to say that his stuff isn't what it was last year. No kidding! When your closer... CLOSER... tops out at 83, has only 4 pitches (well,2, since it's pretty obvious his "throw ball" is ineffective, and who relies on a change-up anyway?!?)
Man, this is the reason I don't want insurance through Progressive.... they can't even get RUN insurance!
...damn you Borowski!

Indians fans need to start bringing baskets full of vegetables to home games. Then they can pelt JoeBo with tomatoes and heads of lettuce when he inevitably gets shelled. Since Borowski throws nothing but meatballs, Indians fans should bring those to the games to throw at him. But, if anything, this year is keeping with the alternating trend of "Great bullpen, awful bullpen". This year the bullpen is god-awful. Betancourt and Perez can't keep the ball in the park, and the less said about Joe Blow, the better. Last year it was phenomenal. Betancourt was lights out, Perez was one of the best lefty relievers around, and Jensen Lewis was a welcome surprise. In 2006 it was awful, with Guillermo Mota, Scott Sauerbeck, and the two-week nightmare that was Fausto Carmona as the closer. In 2005 it was the top bullpen in the league, with Bob Howry anchoring the 8th inning and leading the league in appearances. In 2004, yep, it was awful. Jose Jimenez and Scott Stewart made every game cringe-worthy. In 2003...well, the whole of 2003 sucked, so let's not get into that. So what I'm saying is, the Indians need to score at least ten runs a game to have a fighting chance of winning anything this year. Welcome to the Bullpen From Hell 2008.

Now you understand how us White Sox fans felt last year. You NEEDED to score at least 10 runs to just stay in the game, because the starting pitching was iffy and the bullpen turned to crap. The problem was: nobody could hit, either.
