Take it easy, dude. Some of us are similarly afflicted.

And sports team names.

Well, I mean, I don't know about anyone else, but appears that most of these shooting sprees involving multiple victims are pretty much committed by the Nordic and Anglo Saxon distant descendant migrants. I guess the other thing that I find questionable is that if so many people are packing heat these days, why are they not responding immediately in these situations and taking out the perp? Why is it that so many of these are only stopped with police intervention?

Unless one is full blown Native American, aren't we all descendants of migrants?

Well, I don't know if the bloom is off or he's just in a rut or what. Whichever it is, the cleanup experiment needs to be done. I think I'd be comfortable with Torkelson hitting 4th going forward. I think maybe he's turning the corner lately.

This one was particularly grating because they had plenty of opportunities to score and just couldn't get off of the doughnut.

He tagged the ball, but was just one of the many victims of Miles Straw's range.

The lack of SP depth and game stamina is worrisome. I'm afraid the bullpen might get overworked because of it. But Hinch and Fetter seem to be good at getting the most out of a bullpen, so that is a bit comforting.

I thought Baddoo's caught stealing was worse. Actually, I bet Baddoo knows that caught stealing was worse.

Yeah, but in Ivey’s defense, he very rarely played in non garbage time.

Eat it, Cleveland.

Remember this kid? Certainly can't be a kid anymore.

So what you're saying is they could be tied for 1th place this week? Drink.

I'll take it for any 3 game series.

Yes, it needs to be a learning moment. It was embarrassing, the self inflicted wounds to get themselves into a deficit and then into a deeper deficit after pulling ahead. I don't know if anyone can explain it, it just seemed to permeate from player to player today. But on the bright side, they have not been smacked around like this in a while. The last time they lost by more than a grand slam was in Toronto on April 11. I think its fair to say this team has played differently for the better part of a month than they did the first few series. In fact, since the 2-9 start, they are 13-9. I don't think anyone has any preconceived notions of this being a better than .500 team. We know they just aren't stacked up to be that this season. We know they had a tough opening schedule to deal with. And while we cannot make sense of taking 2 of 3 at Houston, 2 of 3 at Milwaukee, 2 of 3 at St. Louis, 2 of 3 at home vs personal bully Cleveland, sweep the $600 million New York Mets, and try to square that against being swept at home by Boston and looking absolutely feeble against Tampa and Baltimore, the totality of the season thus far is encouraging despite the egg they laid today.

Well, I guess if short start pitching outings and bad bullpen outings and bad defensive outings are going to happen, condense them together into as few games as possible rather than spreading the love out to multiple games?

Wow, were they mentally on the plane to Cleveland after the Rogers grand slam?

This inning tastes like rotten flan.

Going to have to send Faedo back down and pull up another reliever for Cleveland the way the bullpen is going to be used today.

Very clankular today.

True. But the defense hasn’t helped the cause today.

Hey, they came from behind once already. Why not do it again?
