Another One

The Indians have been swept 2 consecutive series after losing 3-2 to the Tigers. The Indians led 1-0, until a critical defensive miscue by Eduardo Perez broke the door open for the Tigers to score 3 runs in the seventh. Jason Davis pitched well and Cabrerea pitched well after allowing his inherited runners to score.

Rafael Betancourt should come off the DL tomorrow, and I am not sure who would be sent down to replace him. Carmona, who was just called up to replace Graves, should be safe because I can't imagine the Indians' wanting to be jerking him around. I would find it fun to watch Carmona work on his game in the bullpen and eventually work his way back to the starter the Indians expect him to be.

Indians drop another.

Apparently, someone is taking the Tribe's losing streak pretty hard.

At Rick's Tribe Report yesterday, Rick made some comments about the Indians' 3-0 loss to the Tigers. Read his latest column and check out our discussion afterwards in the comments section.

For anyone that has read my posts on this site they would know I am an avid Indians fan. This losing streak is bothering me as much as anyone, but I still find time to point out some positives or still find some hope in a loss. Blaming Sizemore's baserunning yesterday is not an option in my opinion. The Indians' defense and inability to have good AB's against Bonderman were the issue.
