The defense has been lackadasical.  Iguchi's missed DP was harmless, but it appears Widger wasn't paying attention to Boone when he stole 2nd.  That is a huge run.

 

Add to that Widger's passed ball and Rowand's error.

 

 

Add to that Crede.

Kept coming back and than Dustin gives em 2 free passes. Unreal. One of the worst hitting teams in baseball and you don't make em trying and swing.

See what happens when you bunt in a tight game Ozzie? You make the defense make a play. No excuse to not be bunting in the 8th inning earlier.

This reminds me of that 3rd game of the year where Viz had to come in against Cleveland. Looks like a fly ball to left will score three right now with the sun.

That was all Dustin. Two embarassing walks to an awful hitting team, then a horrible throw. Our bullpen is not all that great.

 

Minnesota shut Cleveland down through 4 extra innings on Thursday and Cleveland didn't even get a sniff of a run. Meanwhile, we give it up twice.

Thank god Crede is so solid over at 3rd base.

 

Next time stretch a bit Sally and catch the f***ing ball.

Thanks a lot Damaso, you cost us this game.

Can't wait to watch Shingo try and close tomorrow if it comes to it.

how much you wanna bet the sox make it interesting?

No hits that inning for Cleveland...

 

Game probably over barring a minor miracle.

At least Marte made Hafner beat him. Hermanson basically handed 2 runs to the Indians.

whhhaaaaa

whine whine whine

 

here have some cheese

 

its ozzies fault, its martes falut, its credes fault, its hermansons fault, its widgers fault, its rowands fault... whhhhaaaaa

 

lets cry some more

its ozzies fault, its martes falut, its credes fault, its hermansons fault, its widgers fault, its rowands fault... whhhhaaaaa

 

 

If you lose a game, is it not the fault of a player or manager?

Frank's homer would have been a nice walkoff if Marte didn't serve up that homer on a silver platter to Hafner. Oh well.

Sorry, I'm not gonna let this (most-likely) loss ruin my mood. As I've said all season, I'll take 2-of-3 any time.

ooops

over 4 hours later.

this was most definitely a team loss.

If only this, if only that. Well you can add this to the list:

 

If only Buehrle didn't serve up 3 runs before Gooch's 2 run shot. Big deal, we still took 2-of-3.

I'll take this 2 of 3. I can't really blame anyone. Indians just found ways to make plays and we didn't. They were the better team today. I could deal with that. Let's beat the Rockies now.

Yep.....but our bullpen is just in shambles right now. Who do we have that we can count on out there? Politte? Ozzie seems hesitant to use him anyways.

Today would've been a nice day to have Wagner. Hermy would be better suited as an awesome setup man IMO. Anyway, again, it was just the Indians being better than us today.

Cotts' stock is on the rise. Viz looked ok today but it was fairly meaningless. Hermy is on the decline. Marte is an enigma, he can look unhittable and serve it up in the same inning. Politte is still solid and Shingo is MIA.

I wouldn't mind the loss that much if Hermanson hadn't just given it to them with 2 walks. That was stupid.

Lets just put this one behind and go win the first two and lose the third in Colorado.

HELL YES!!!!
