Craig's Reaction

Here is what was waiting for me in my inbox this morning from Craig. Sorry he decides to be disgusting at the end:

So, the last two nights the Tribe has wasted great starts by Westbrook and Byrd. Right now they are struggling to close games .. and while 5-9 isn't that big of a deal when they have 148 more games to play, the way they are losing games is the alarming part. The bullpen has stunk lately and now we don't even know who our closer is. I am afraid that because our bullpen was so good last year, the law of averages will come into play this year. Does anybody think that Bentancourt or Perez can repeat last years success, when they both posted ERA's around 1.70. Not likely. Who else do we have out there? Ummm .. Jensen Lewis? Jorge Julio? Masa Kobayashi? Craig Breslow? Not exactly a who's who of relievers.

However, as bad as our bullpen is, our starting pitching is good (with the exception of C.C., who will come around) and should continue to be good throughout the season.

Now to the part of last nights game that really had me mad. I couldn't tell if I was at Progressive field of Fenway park. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! There were people cheering when Varitek went yard and when the Indians made there last out. It wasn't just a few jackarses cheering either, it was a lot. As Bill said last night .. that would never happen at a Cavaliers game and we all know how opposing fans are treated at Brownies games. It was embarrassing and pathetic. The worse part is, these people probably weren't even real chowds ... instead they were probably loser front running Ohioans.

Well because last night was dollar dog night, I have some business to take care off and its coming on quick ... if you know what I mean.

Go Tribe
late
