Tigers 13, Indians 2

Ouch. That one really hurt. That one was painful to watch. Here are my depressing thoughts on that debacle:
  • What's going on with C.C.? Where is his command? Again, from a Cleveland pitcher, we get the "it's not physical" company line. In this case I would almost hope it was. If the ace of our staff has no confidence, what does he have? I don't care how hard you throw or how big you are, if you put the ball right over the plate, big leaguers are going to make you pay.
  • If you just look at the box score, you would think Andres Galarraga man handled the Tribe. Turns out it was some guy name Armando.
  • What do you think should be more concerning: C.C. or our hitting? Two runs on three hits? Why can't the Indians hit a AAA pitcher?
  • At least if you're a Detroit fan, your team is starting to do what it was supposed to do: hit the crap out of the ball. It doesn't seem like us Indians fans have anything to grasp onto.
  • Casey Blake, Asdrubal Cabrera, and Johnny Peralta are in a combined .042 slump. Awesome.
  • Victor, you have to know how many outs there are at all times. That was an Elyria Little League East Minor B move.
  • "How You Doin'" goes yard! He was the only highlight of the night! He's now up to .276! That's better than Travis Hafner, Johnny Peralta, Asdrubal Cabrera, Franklin Gutierrez, and Casey Blake! Those are our young core guys! Sweet!

I'll be back posting all day, and panic is starting to set in.

A slump is a good way of putting it. You gotta believe that if the gnats dont come out soon, our season is over. Nice "Minor B" touch by the way.

3 hits is the concern! the pitching besides cc is not bad at all.
