I am sick and damn tired of seeing this reference.
95 games is not something to be happy about.
So, let me get this straight, NOTHING but 110 wins was acceptable to any of you people who are saying this? Well, Katy-Bar-the-F'in-Door. NOTHING BUT 110 wins or you SUUUUUUUUCCCCCK.
How many times did we say that August was going to be our downfall this season because of the schedule? Wow. Most of us were right.
As it turns out, Cleveland got hotter then a firecracker during August.
Yes, our offense can't carry a 5 lb. weight right now without breaking their backs in pressure situations.
You can see it all over the place, people are over pitching, over swinging, because they have something to lose. At the beginning of the year, they had NOTHING to lose. The pressure is killing this team, and the attitude of "nothing but a 10-15 game lead matters or you're CHOKERS" is absolutely killing me.
You all have valid points, but saying that the expectation is 110 wins is ludicrious, and that's really what you're saying, because you can't control what the other teams do except when you play them.
So you are saying that if we blow a 15 game lead in 2 months and miss the playoffs, I should be happy about it because we won 95 games? As long as we make the playoffs I don't give a damn how many games we lost off the lead, but if we miss the playoffs I'm sure not going to be happy about this season.
