Comments on: AN UGLY TALE OF TWO SERIES http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4086 A CLEVELAND INDIANS BLOG FROM THE ESPN SWEET SPOT NETWORK Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:55:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Will McIlroy http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4086#comment-2600 Will McIlroy Mon, 28 May 2012 18:23:28 +0000 http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4086#comment-2600 This series was indicative of the “whiplash roller coaster” which is a staple of the current team. Good baseball and then bad baseball. We scored 16 runs in 3 games and yet essentially were never in any of them.

The flaws are there. The Tigers will play better. We have to get better, too.

Seriously, before the series started I figured we’d get a chance at winning one – Lowe’s start. *sigh* Friday we faced a soft-tossing lefty – historically, death to Tribe batting. Sunday was Ubaldo. I usually pencil in a loss. Then the center of the batting order becomes three more Johnny Damons…except Damon at least hit a homer in the Sunday game. Acensio couldn’t pitch in pee-wee league; mercifully, he’s been DFA’d. Time for them to shake the Chicago dust of off themselves and right the ship back home, hoping and praying for a quick return of the injured players. Can’t beat CHI with AA players (I know, their pitcher was from AA, but a soft-tossing AAer…) but we can hope they play well against the Royals.

FWIW, we had more in attendance at our Thursday nooner than Chicago had for either their Friday or Sunday game. Go Cubs!

PS ~ The White Sux might have Konerko, but the Kip-kid batted something like .500 in his games at U. S. Cellulite Field. ;-)
