Wahoo Wrap-Up (Week 8)

Record: 18-29, Last in the AL Central

Things seem to be going from bad to worse with this team. On top of losing games on a frequent basis, we're losing key players left and right. First it was a freak accident that caused Asdrubal Cabrera to break a bone in his arm and be out 6-8 week. Then we learned this weekend that Grady will need surgery on his leg and will also be out about 6 weeks. Oddly, the scariest looking moment for an Indian though was the line drive that pitcher David Huff took off of his head. Surprisingly, the CT scan was negative and he says he's feeling fine, although it's not clear when exactly he'll return to the mound.

We've been trying to stay afloat with an inferior team, but now it looks like it's starting to catch up to us. We've sunk to the basement of the division and things don't like they'll be getting any better anytime soon. After finishing up our four game series with the Yankees tomorrow, we stay out on the road against Detroit and Chicago. I don't hold much hope, however, if we can somehow play well against those two divisional opponents we could make some movement back up the standings. I know things look bleak, but my devotion will never waver. As always, Go Tribe!
