Pain and suffering

For all the Tribe has had to deal with, injury-wise...well, the Naquin bit is tough, especially given that he was actually having a productive year... Oi.  There are times, the way they are playing now, that I don't think we will even make the playoffs...   It does seem, at least, that they are committed to playing Chang at 3B quite a bit, which is good, as you don't want to Yandy Diaz a guy...

One other thing...this is the last year that you will be able to have 40 guys on the roster for September; next year, of course, it will be 28.  I guess I don't like this for any number of reasons, key among them 1) It is a cherished baseball tradititon 2) It's a long season, so it is often nice to have extra bodies 3) Playoffs races are enriched by strategery 4) It is a way to reward guys with good seasons in the minors to put them on the ML roster and 5) So What?  Just saying, not really sure that of all the changes they made....this is it.

Maybe? I am not sure that the problem isn't that people know -- instinctively -- that it works better for some people than for others... I think we all know of plenty of people in government jobs who could...work harder, if you get my drift.
