If the Cleveland sports world hasn't been strange enough the past days with the Browns quarterback controversy and Delonte West going missing for the start of training camp for the Cavaliers, the Indians have decided to make it even a little more odd. Reports from Cleveland sports blog Waiting For Next Year and daily paper The Plain Dealer are reporting that Eric Wedge will be fired with less than a week left to play in this season.

Wedge getting the axe is hardly a surprise but considering the season has been a lost cause for months it is a wonder why they couldn't wait it out for a few more days. The Indians have announced a press conference for 1:30 pm and will update you as we find out more on this developing story.

Update:

Wedge and his assistant coaches will coach the final 6 games of the season but have all been told they will now longer be coaching with the team next year.
