A rough debut for Corey Kluber. The first pitch of his major league career was drilled for a home run. The rest of the first inning was pretty either. He settled down and the Indians clawed back into the game, sending it to extra innings. The Royals won it in the 11th. Swept by Twins and Royals in consecutive series. Ugh.

At least Santana’s found his groove in the last few weeks. That’s something…I guess.
Can it get any worse? I don’t think so
Wow 2 more months of this?
Do we play the Tigers again? fantastic! 9 game losing streak here we come!
Just a few more games until you are 10.5 back…..then it’s World Champs from there!
Sincerely,
St. Louis Cardinals
0/19 now Garry
Nothing to see here. Maybe Chris Perez will finally shut his mouth now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would note, however, that he produced as much as Hafner did – and at a much lower cost!
