There's always next year

Well, after a strong playoff push, it looks as if the Tribe are officially throwing in the towel.

Indians Sign Branyan

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians signed infielder Russell Branyan to a minor league contract on Tuesday and assigned him to Triple-A Buffalo.

Branyan started out the season with San Diego and appeared in 61 games, posting a measly .197 average with seven home runs and 19 RBI, but the team released him late in July.

He is a career .229 hitter and has amassed 118 homers, 293 RBI, 88 doubles and 253 runs in a 10-year career with Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Tampa Bay, and San Diego.

Yo, they already traded Branyan to the Phillies for $. I guess they're still in the hunt.

Thank God!

I tossed and turned all night and got up to shower three times. Couldn't get clean enough.

Guess I can sleep a little easier tonight.

I would rather have Branyan on the team than a complete stiff like Nixon. At least when Branyan steps up, there's a chance of a home run.
