	...off of the DL? Seriously? Unless he is seeing some really impressive stuff from Joe, how can you put him back into that role with Kobayashi pitching so incredibly well? Especially with the offense struggling, and every single run meaning that much more.

	then Wedge should be FIRED when Borowski comes off the DL. And take Dolan and Shapiro with him.

	Anyone who thought this wouldn't happen is an absolute idiot. Even if Betancourt hadn't blown a save and had an ERA under 1.00, JoBo still would get his job back. The Tribe has a long standing clubhouse saying that you can't lose your job to an injury. JoBo isn't gonna be the exception. Now, JoBo will probably be on a much shorter leash than before (ala, Marte last year. He only got a handful of games before he was demoted).

	You're right Hermie, though 'absolute idiot' is a bit harsh. As an announcer said during a game I was watching the other day, a good manager is part psychologist. Wedge is going to show confidence in his closer. At the same time, the leash will be shorter like you said. And everyone on the Indians knows this is Wedge's approach. All that said, if Joe Borowski does falter in his return, I'd like to see Kobayashi given a good chance in the closer role.

	Anyone who thinks that he should return to the closer role is an absolute idiot. And another thing, that delusional thinking is not indicative of what most people are saying about who should be in that closer role. So I guess, Herr Hermie, all of us Tribe fans are absolute idiots. Come down from the mountain. Some stupid note in the locker room is not some protected constitutional right. He sucked at his job for 1 year and a month and does not deserve back. Fake injury or whatever. Full stop. End of story.
