Tribe vs Angels....Losing streak breaker thread

  What a difference a week makes. One week ago we were full of anticipation and hope....
  
  A playoff caliber team cannot go thru extended losing streaks. Every team has bad spells when they lose 7 out of 10...but you need a few wins in there to keep you a contender. A loss today would push the losing streak to 7, and propel this team to another August swoon...3 years in a row. If you fall behind far enough, the front office will pull the plug and they will start playing the 'kids' getting ready for next year, and we will be in for another meaningless September.
  Yesterdays fiasco was punctuated by the really bad defense that has plagued the team since the All star break., Druby Cabrerra muffed another easy double play ball...the 2nd in 8 days that allowed the Angels to deliver the knockout punch....and another decent pitching performance was wasted by an offense that was anything but clutch.
  

  19 days and counting...

  seriously, if you are counting on the Browns to give you hope, good luck with that.

  its not just cabrera either, Kipnis is tied for the league lead at 2B for errors.

  and its not getting any better today. Masterson looks like garbage and there should be 2 errors already on Swisher and Cabrera but i dont think they were given the errors.
• Glory Days

  

  4-0 Angels midway through the 2nd....
• vball10set

  60 pitches in 2 innings....and this is our ace?
• wes_mantooth

  

  Lol...I went last night..they are def mailing it in right now. They don't deserve anymore of my money, so I won't be going back. They can go fuck themselves

  He's really went downhill this season--we should've traded him when he had some value.

  Atleast the wont be no hit....

  Aviles didnt want cabrera to feel left out, so he made an error too.

  Time to mow. (Without headphones)

  The streak continues.

  Swisher makes it only a 3 run lead by the Angels with a 2 run HR.
• Glory Days

  

  5-4 Angles after an Aviles 2 run HR
• Glory Days

  

  Kansas City is up right now on Boston. Looks like a possibility of 3rd place after this game.

  4 2 out runs there are big. If we can save this game and somehow pull out a win and get it back on track there is plenty of time left. They are so streaky...is isn't crazy to think they have another 7 or 8 game winning streak in them.
• Glory Days

  

  Santana ties the game on a solo shot
• Con_Alma

  The long ball might just get them a win today!!! Santana joining the parade.
