Mariners 5 Indians 3: Speechless in Seattle

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  August 21, 2012
Yesterday, I uttered the phrase “I didn’t know what to say anymore” about this Indians team. 24 hours later, once again, they have left me speechless in the way they lost yet another game, their sixth in a row, this time to Eric Wedge and the Seattle Mariners.

The Chris Perez Fan Interaction Video is Very Entertaining
