It is all about the pitching, man.
Last night, Wandy had one bad five-run inning for the Astros, which ultimately made the difference in a 7-3 loss.
In tonight's Tigers game, Nate Robertson and Roman Ramon (you know, the guy we got for the Farns? nice work, guys) combined to be appalling, and the Indians got NINE runs in the sixth. Chris Spurling also gav eup one of those runs, but fuck it, he's also the guy who managed to get the last two outs, so he is forgiven.
Then in the seventh, the Indians pitching hiccuped and gave up five runs. Three of which, by the way, came from Brandon Inge. He has been stuck in like a month long slump, but claimed recently that he made a change to fix what was wrong. Looks like it might have worked. Sure would be nice to have his bat in the lineup again. It didn't quite work out in the end - Tigers still lost 9-6 - but at least we put up a good fight.
And tonight for the Red Sox, I didn't watch too closely as I was mired in the OMGWTFness of the Tigers, but apparently Bronson sucked a whole lot. What was that, seven runs in like three innings? Ouch. And the Sox are, as of the eighth inning, shut out, and the score stands at 7-0.
(The best part of that game so far was the Ford Cobalt contest, when Don fell into an hysterical giggling fit and choked out, "There's no chance of winning ever!" Which is true, because the odds of a homer on the hundredth pitch specifically? Not so good. Then Jerry spent, like, half an inning explaining why the contest sucks and how it could be adjusted so that someone could actually win. They are in so much trouble, because way to spend five solid minutes pissing all over a sponsor, but goddamn that was funny.)
