Trade deadline depression

So the MLB trading deadline came and went without the Indians making a peep. Well, they did get Lofton; but as nice as it is to have Kenny back, we did not need another outfielder. We had other areas of concern that just got ignored. Once again it appears that frugality and mismanagement will prevent us from having a real chance at a championship.

Clearly, the big winners today were the Red Sox and the Braves; two teams who were already pretty good, yet recognized their weaknesses and got deals done to improve themselves.

Then, as if the Tribe's inactivity wasn't depressing enough, the team's offensive futility continues, as they lose tonight to the lowly Rangers; a team that seemingly traded 3/4ths of their roster today. The only bright spot is that the Tigers are going through similar woes, which has kept us close to first. This team needs to wake up and get their act together so that they can make a move and return to the playoffs.
