The Indians are actually doing pretty good now. There on a 4 game winning streak and now have a record 1 win away from .500 (76-77, .497)

He better right the ship fast, or he won't be around much longer to screw things up. Derek Anderson didn't make matters any better by some of his choices at the end of the first half, you'd hope your Pro-Bowl QB could cover up his coach's inability to manage the clock - you don't see Peyton Manning or Tom Brady constantly running around and looking over at the sideline in panic mode in the 2-minute offense acting like they don't have a clue.

I think we need to get rid of Romeo. What has this guy done for us. We won 10 games last year. BIG DEAL. We were sitting home during the wild card and playoffs, so it doesn't matter. How does he justify kicking a FG like that instead of going for it? Anderson wasn't much better, especially that INT right before halftime.

The Indians are at .500 now, 77-77. Not too bad.

Still this season is a huge disappointment. I was expecting the Indians to at least make it to the world series if not win the whole thing, since we got so far last year and took the Red Sox to 7 games, and then they went and swept the Rockies. We could have easily won against the Rockies if we won one more game...thats in the past though we need to look toward the future.

Indians are still in pretty good shape over the near term, especially with LaPorta and Hodges probably being ready by the end of next year.

Do you think if the Browns lose this week to the lowly Bengals, heading into the bye week, ol Romeo might be given his pink slip??

[CTownNative]

The Browns look terrible this season.I thought they would be way better than they are right now.My expectations were a little bit too high predicting they would win the superbowl,but they probably won't even make the playoffs now.So it looked like last season they would be a contender in the AFC North for years to come,now they look like they still have a little more building to do.There is talent on the team though I think with a better coach they actually might be 2-1.I'd also like them to start playing Brady Quinn too.Derek Anderson had his shot,and hasn't played very well this year.He had some very bad games last year too that cost them making the playoffs.

The Indians right now are 79-79 they have really been playing well now for awhile.They have a legitimate shot of being right back in the hunt for the playoffs next year.If Travis Hafner can get back to full health and him and Victor start playing like their old selves they could be a very dangerous offensive team next year.Ryan Garko,Peralta,and Grady have all knocked in more than 80 runs this year,and Kelly Shoppach has had a good power hitting season.Other bright spots on the team offensivly are Asdrubal Cabrera,Choo,and Ben Francisco.They all have hit very well at times this year,and Choo has been hitting very well over the past couple weeks.Some of the young starting pitchers also look like they have potential,and the bullpen has been doing alot better for awhile now.

I want Romeo Crennel gone! I am sorry, thats just my opinion. But we need a coach that will show emotion on the field, instead of just standing there, not seeming to care.

They need to try and get a coach like Bill Cowher or Brian Billick.Both of them have won a Superbowl,and are currently not coaching anybody.

[Slash83]

Bob Golic was discussing on his show on WNIR that Cowher may come to Cleveland. He thinks it would be a good idea. I do too.

As for Billick, I think I just puked.

Glad to see we beat the Bungals today
