If you can bring yourself to ignoring the fact that the Tribe has dropped nine straight, it should be mentioned that Grady Sizemore stole his 100th base of the season his career in last night's loss. Coupling this with his home run on July 5, Sizemore is now officially the second player in the history of the team to eclipse the 100/100 mark.
And as laid out here, Grady is under wraps until 2012. It can get excruciating to watch an entire team for only one or two guys, but it may have to be the case this season. Oh, and if you had not heard, Sizemore will be partaking in this year's Home Run Derby. Let's just hope he doesn't go all Abreu?

An addict's guide to watching the post-CC Tribe
CC is gone, the games mean nothing and the team has no life.
Still, there are thousands of addicts - including myself - out there who just can't stop watching the Tribe.
Here's an addicted fan's guide to making the watching less painful:
1. Skip the games started by Byrd and Sowers - or at least one of the two if you can't do both. TIVO Monday's Home...
Sabathia Post-Menopausal?
Yes, I may still be mourning the departure of a Cy Young winner, but it doesn't mean I can't be an incisive investigatory journalist no matter how many friends I lose or people I leave dead and bloodied along the way.

PREGAME: I'm not big on advocating games as must-win. The term is way overused and it's something I've heard thrown around at least a dozen times already this season for the Tigers. So I won't call this a must-win. Instead I'll call it "they better freakin' win." It's not that [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 89: Indians at Tigers", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog...

Indians 13 Rays 2 (Box)
The Indians had lost 10 straight games. Think about that for a second. They hadn't won a baseball game since June 27th when they beat the Reds. They have suffered 3 consecutive sweeps. Tampa Bay has the best record in the league. No brainer right?
That's why this is baseball I guess. The Indians pounded out extra base hits including homers...
