I spose the Tribe don’t deserve to win that one

Yeah I mean when you make four errors in a game (for the second time this year) you probably don’t deserve to win the game, but they very well should have.

They are the best fielding team in the league according to the stats, but that is two times now that this team has just had some complete meltdowns defensively. I don’t know what it is especially after they did so good with Cliff Lee on the mound. They might have been a little unsettled waiting behind Carmona, a complete opposite of Cliff Lee who threw strikes and went fast. The infielders should be used to Carmona by now though. They know what he’s about throwing the sinker and getting the ground ball. Only two were un-earned but it could have very well been four.

Carmona looked okay for the most part, finally starting to look like he’s feeling good and comfortable out there. The errors really hurt himi and made it worse than it should have been. I’ll take the 7 strong from him though.

Another good outing for Rafael Betancourt going two innings without a hit or walk. I’m starting to think he might be a candidate to bounce back next year, I won’t hold my breath on that one though.

Okay offensively let’s talk.

Kelly Kelly Kelly.. 0-4 with 6 men left on base and three strikeouts. Man… Oh MAN.. Just.. Including a bases loaded noooooooobody out strikeout. He put together a good at-bat after getting down 0-2 but erased everything he did by swinging.. nay.. half swinging at a garbage fastball above the zone.

Whatever…

Just..

Then Garko looks to have not only tied it but put the Indians ahead, and Aybar makes a spectacular catch.

It just flows with the season… It just flows with the season.. Same way the ball he hit agaisnt K-Rod in the ninth went just foul. By the by, love the way K-Rod gets all the close calls, no wonder he has 47 saves.

Garko had the two run shot and Dellucci had a solo.. Just wasted opportunities. 25 runners stranded total.. Just awful.

They deserve to lose the way they didn’t hit and played defense, but they damn well should of. Can’t let a team like the Angels off the hook like this.

Tomorrow, Jeremy Sowers and Joe Saunders. Don’t hold your breath for a series win unless the Salvatore Man can guide Young Sowers to a win. BTW how about Sal doing the lineups.. The guy cracks me up.
