**Adam Kennedy- Again this guy hurts the Indians, he finished the day 3-5 with a double and a Home Run, his 11Th of the season and he drove in 3 runs, giving him 59 RBIs and Adam is hitting .291.
**Dana Eveland- This guy threw 5 strong innings, dominated the Indians hitting. He gave up 1 run (1 earned), he walked 2, struck out 2, and now has a 6.50 ERA with 2 wins.
**Scott Hairston- Scott finished the day 2-3 with a sacrifice fly, he drove in his 68Th run of the year and he now has a .266 average.

**Jack Cust- Jack went 2-4 at the plate, he is hitting .237 at the plate.
**Jon Meloan- The Indians gave up on this guy way too early. Then again, so did the Pirates and the Rays. He threw the final 2 innings, he did give up 1 run (0 earned), he walked 1, struck out 3 and now has a 0.00 ERA.
**Michael Brantley- Michael went 3-4 at the plate with a double, he is hitting .338 on the year.
**Asdrubal Cabrera- Cabrera finished the game 2-5 and he drove in his 64Th RBI. Cabrera still cares, I can't say that about some of the other players. He is hitting .306.
**Trevor Crowe- I am giving him a baseball because he hit a triple, his 3rd of the season. He drove in his 15Th RBI of the year. Trevor is hitting .230.
Goofballs:
**Fausto Carmona- Fausto threw 5 2/3 innings, giving up 9 runs (8 earned), he walked 1, struck out 2, lost his 12Th game and now has a 6.89 ERA.
**Indians Offense- Still, as a collective unit, they had a big thud. 4 runs on 8 hits, they walked 5 times, struck out 5, left 9 men on base. They have to have a better approach at the plate than what they are doing now.
**Tony Sipp- He threw 1 1/3 innings, but he still gave up 1 run (1 earned), he didn't walk anyone, struck out 2 and now has a 3.25 ERA.
**Mike Gosling- He committed an error and that run scored, he threw 1 inning, gave up 1 run (0 earned), he didn't walk anyone, struck out 1 and now has a 4.58 ERA. Mike committed his 1st error.
**Trevor Crowe- Committed his 3rd error of the season.
**Jerry Blevins- Jerry threw 2 innings, giving up 2 runs (2 earned), he walked 2, didn't strike anyone out and now has a 5.65 ERA.
**Kurt Suzuki- Committed his 4Th error of the season.

On Deck:
Wow, the Indians got swept by the Oakland Athletics. This truly is a low point of the season because this team simply can't adjust anymore. Too many young players who might be scared. Not only that, but the Indians also were swept in Minnesota, so the Indians finished off this road trip 0-7. If Eric Wedge doesn't get fired off of this, I won't know what to say. It already says alot when there have been many managerial changes this year, yet Wedge keeps his job, despite blundering his way to another disappointing season. Plus he now has a 557-564 career record as a manager, and this includes a season where he wins 96 games and a year he wins 93 games, yet he still has a below .500 record. That speaks volumes. Well, the Indians now open up a 3 game series with the Detroit Tigers, another struggling team right now. Game starts at 7:05 PM, airing on STO with Indians On Deck at 6:30 PM. Edwin Jackson (12-7, 3.37) will take on Justin Masterson (4-8, 4.49). WTAM 1100-AM will air the game on radio, can we win a game? Let's find out. |
