That's what you get for pitching to Morneau.. You lose!

Seriously?

Pitching to Justin Morneau with a guy on second and first base open.. Two outs.

What good does it do you?

a 3-1 count.. You just give him the base.

Eric Wedge should have been out there before the at-bat even took place and should have said, walk him now.

You don't pitch to him!

Even when it was 3-1, Wedge should have flashed the four.. Let him go, don't let him beat you.. It doesn't make sense!!!

Jeremy Sowers pitched a good game.. Perfect for five innings, ran into a wall in the 6th, but finished off the 7th and 8th. He didn't deserve to lose so the offense did a good job battling back against the bullpen. 8 Innings, 3 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Nick Blackburn is going to be an Indians killer. He continues to put up great starts against the Indians.. That's three this year.

Grady had a good day going 2-3 and stealing number 25.. He'll be joining 30-30 for sure.

Choo, Garko and Marte all had hits.. Sal Fasano knocked in a run via the sac-fly early. Dellucci's pinch hit sac-fly tied the game. I was kinda upset he took the bat out of Franklin Gutierrez, but whatever. Wedge can do what he wants at this point.. He is more concerned with winning games than building confidence and experience for guys like Gutierrez.

That's a tough one to lose considering the way it was managed at a few points. Frustrating.. Frustrating... FRUSTRATING!!!

Especially since Sowers pitched well.

Big four game series against the Deeetwaaah Tigres.. FYI most of their fans think this is gonna be a super-easy series that will get them back in the race becuase Casey Blake is gone.. A few old hacks in Paul Byrd and Kenny Rogers tomorrow.
