Alex Gonzalez sucks as far as I'm concerned

Alex Gonzalez has tortured the Cleveland Indians this weekend and throughout his career.

In 57 at-bats, he's got 20 hits, that a .358 average if I remember from the calculator that I closed with the calculation. 10 RBI's as well, that's just mean.

So I hate him.. Jerk

JERK!

WHAT GIVES WITH THIS?!

I don't know what to say.. The bullpen gave in.. They gave us enough.. More than enough for a nine inning game. I didn't have too much faith after we wasted the scoring chance in the ninth. Because okay Betancourt is good, but after him, we had the following.

Vizcaino and Aquino, both pitched two innings yesterday.

Jensen Lewis, pitched three innings on Friday.

Kerry Wood, who is being saved for a save chance.

and Rich Rundles.

So really.. I'm putting this one on the offense..

Specifically, the people who sucked in the ninth inning... Grady Sizemore and Victor Martinez.

Gross.

No really, it's gross.

IT'S JUST GROSS.

Not sure what more anyone can do in that game.

Cliff Lee pitched well, kept his team in the game for the most part. Can't complain.

But man..

The offense labored through those three runs really. They were able to match the Reds for hits, but their tying run came off an error. What a wild play that was, not sure why they called what they called, but I'll take it. I'm going to guess something to the effect that Rosales was in the running lane? I don't know.

Just do whatever I tell the mother asking me all these questions.

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT SOMETHING WOULD CHANGE!

This season.. Just.. Isn't getting any better.. It's depressing... Five times..

Bullpen is better.. Starting pitching was good.. The offense was okay, but couldn't get it done when we needed.

Or something else happens in a different game we lose.

Anyone notice the rut that Victor Martinez is in? After lighting his hair on fire and hitting, he can't buy one. He's had some hard hit balls, particularly in today's game that ended up being smoked right to Hernandez at first and into a double play, but man. I guess his average has to come down to earth someway. Hopefully it doesn't last too long, because Grady is starting to heat up and when we can get Travis back, hopefully for tomorrow's game, we'll be good.

Luis Valbuena is a doubles machine, and he's starting to do well with his starting time. If things didn't change soon, I'd be pissed. But you can't argue with what he's doing I guess.. Garko is still getting jobbed out of playing time though and that's very annoying.

Tomorrow is memorial day and it starts a four gamer with the Tampa Bay Rays who we just saw and we all remember the crazy stuff that went on. I'm going to be interested to see if the bad blood returns.

Special start time, 6:05 for tomorrow's game. Fausto Carmona on the hill against the young pheom David Price, making his second ever major league start and his 2009 season debut. On Tuesday it's Carl Pavano and Matt Garza. Wednesday's starter is undecided, as the Indians will either go with Jeremy Sowers or a call up, and on Thursday it will either be Jeremy Sowers or David Huff. The Indians haven't decided if they want to give Huff another shot. I would.

Point is... Jeremy Sowers will be starting. The Rays are sending Andy Sonnanstine on Wednesday, he won't be hitting provided there are no more lineup miscues and Jeff Niemann goes on Thursday.

Oh... This team has too many Luis all of a sudden. Luis Vizcaino will be Luis and Luis Valbuena will be Louie V... They are both actually Luis V.. Oh well..

Rafael Betancourt Cap Count: 72
