While I Was Sminking...
The stinkin' Indians went a solid 1-3. Over four home games, the Tribe has complied 14 runs (3.5/game) on 23 hits (5.75/game) to the tune of a .158 team batting average.
Casey Kotchman, after going 0-for-14 to begin his career on the lake, is hitting .063. Michael Brantley? .077. Jason Kipnis? Asdrubal Cabrera? .118 & .158. The bench is a combined 2-for-20. Most of that came yesterday when grand wizard Manny Acta saw fit to start all four of his reserves. The 9,473 at The Jake were rewarded with 5 lousy hits.
Perhaps worst of all, the team squandered leads (and brilliant starts by Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez) in games 1 & 2, losing by the same 7-4 score in extra innings each outing. The bullpen has been choppy at best, to the tune of a 5.68 ERA, a .291 OBA and a 1.74 WHIP. Oh, and 2 losses and an horrific blown save on opening day.
The trite thing to say would be "It's a long season. Don't worry. They will hit." The truth of the matter is that this team is going to win games with their pitching and it cannot afford to squander dominant performances like those from their top two starters.
They look really bad and there is not a lot of hope on the horizon. I'm sticking with 66 wins.
Back after the game with more.
Cheers.

Pretty Girl 04.03.12 - Chirstine Lakin
I don't think I have ever seen a chick quite so excited to have such a bangin' body. Apparently she was a child "star" on Step By Step. Eh, whatever.
I'm Alive
So maybe I'm 9 vodka shots in....
The world beats you down. The bit of good that is, it resides within. Tom Jones didn't even write this song. Some other genius did. It was combined with a perfect performance. That's the whole point of the world. Put up your best, someone else accentuates it. America's best effort has been the concentration of the Good in the accumulation of the flawed. I post this, only because it speaks to my 10%. We all suck. Its just a matter of putting your 10% forward, and submerging your other 90%.
its HD, maximize it. And pour some vodka.

Belvedere, Please
Like I learned in college, "no means no and everything else means yes." And, also yes, this is a real ad.
