The Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians last night 3-1, sweeping the three game series. The Tribe collected two hits.
That's right, two freakin' hits, one of which was a bunt single. I could give some sort of analysis, but it would be repetitive. The starters are good, the hitting is pathetic.
There were zero highlights, just wasted starts by C.C. Sabathia and Aaron Laffey. The Wahoos scored 13 runs on the road trip in 6 games, a new level of futility. Seven players on the team have as many or more strikeouts than hits.
The areas of concern are the whole lineup and bench, as they collectively show no plate discipline, fire or toughness. It is almost like they have given up on themselves.
You can blame Wedge or hitting coach Derek Shelton, but what good would that do? These are grown men who made the ALCS last year. If the season is a marathon, as the Indians management keep insisting, then our team has been hit on a side street by a Greyhound bus.
Shapiro has to make multiple moves, whether it involves trades or demotions. Manager Eric Wedge keeps insisting that this team will eventually come out of it, but he says it every day and I am not so sure he even believes it anymore.
His team has gone from a 1 1/2-game lead in the AL Central to trailing 4 1/2 games behind the White Sox. The Texas Rangers come to town this weekend, as Kason Gabbard battles Fausto Carmona.
Let's hope for a miracle, because any more of this and I am heading for the 480 bridge.

They fooled us all. After the 1 run, 4 hit performance Tuesday they spoiled us with 2 runs on 7 hits yesterday. Why wouldn't they only get 1 run on two hits???
Mother-f@#$ers!!!

I admire you and Poove' for writing tonight, it has gotten very old writing the same stuff all of the time. I don't even know how to analyze or what to think anymore to write anymore. All we need is 4-5 runs a game. Something big needs to happen soon. I keep waiting for Wedge to get on his guys in the media, but we all know how positive he tries to remain and never punish the guys.

Wow great job on that one guys.. Maybe they used him so little because they just wanted to cut him.
Maybe the rest of the league will forget about Breslow like Wedge did and not try and claim him on waivers.

It's funny because this (headline) is exactly what I said to my friend when he told me we got two-hit tonight.
I'm beyond upset. I'm in "hide the sharp objects" mode right now.

Why do I see a Tribe pitcher losing a no-hitter on a walk and an error this year? Two hits and one was a bunt coming after a four hit performance where one ball made it out of the infield. Atrocious.
