With the Indians off yesterday, it slipped my mind to do this post then. Although with the way the week went, I wasn't really motivated to talk about them in general. The Tribe went 2-5 in another disastrous week.
It began with two losses against Boston where we had leads late in the game then coughed it up. That led to closer Joe Borowski (aka 'Joe Blow') to go on the DL, which is fine by me since he was doing nothing for us.
Then we had the two game series with the Tigers where we split and each game was a blowout. So that gave neither of the struggling Central division teams any sort of edge or momentum.
Finally, we had a three game set with the Twins that began promising with a masterful pitching performance by Cliff Lee and then ended with us losing the last two thanks to more of our inept performance.
At this point, I just can't figure out what's going on with this team other than we can't seem to get any momentum. Every day it seems like another facet of the team is letting us down. But if anything can help us get out of this funk, it's our favorite whipping boys, the Kansas City Royals. We've got a 4 game series there and we really need to take at least three of them to get back on track, especially because afterwards is a weekend series with the Yankees. We never seem to do well against NY, so we can't allow us to get too far behind before they arrive. Let's hope when I post next week, I'll have more positive results to report on. And as always, Let's Go Tribe!
