Questions of the Week

Last week i asked several questions about baseball and the sporting world....

Would Sabathia continue his strong performance? Yes, he pitched well against the Tigers only giving up 3 runs and striking out 10 in 8 innings.

Are the Detroit Pistons that much better than the Cavaliers?

Happily no where near it. Cavs have won 3 straight and look to close out the series tomorrow night.

Between the Reds and Tigers, which teams' starting pitching would fade first?

The Reds went 2-4 on the week, and their pitching certainly wasn't great, but in the games the pitching was good..they got very little if any run support. The Tigers haven't fallen off one bit and are tied with the Whitesox for first in the Central.

Next Monday i will have a new set of questions up to look at.

Payback is a ...

Last week when the Tribe got swept by the Royals, it seemed as like the Indians couldn't get any worse. Well, it got even a bit more worse after being swept by the Sox afterwards.

But after a losing streak of 6 games, the Indians responded by sweeping the Royals back to Kansas City. Hafner has started to really heat up, Sizemore has continued to get on base and hit with power. Blake has yet to cool down, and the Indians got good or decent starting pitching for 2 games, and got a complete game shutout from Westbrook Teusday night.

As the Pirates come to town, the Indians need to get these three games to make up for their recent struggles.
