Blake (or why do the Indians have so many Tiger killers?)

The Indians have a few dudes who I would call Tiger killers. Kronk (Travis Hafner) is one of them, but he's been injured lately. Casey Blake hits the Tigers like they're tossing batting practice. Jhonny Peralta, Victor Martinez, Grady Sizemore ... they all hit the Tigers well. Throughout the last few years, there have been Savages who hit the Tigers well; Jody Gerut was one of them — he only hit against the Tigers.

Kenny Rogers pitched well, and I thought for sure Jimmy would bring him out for one more inning. It's too bad that Miner had to get the loss; he didn't exactly lose the game (well, a case could be made for the walks, but I digress ...), the loser was Joel Zumaya who WALKED some batters and PAID the price.

82% of people who walk as the leadoff hitter in the seventh inning or later SCORE!


Beep, beep, beep, beep, beeeeeep, "Can we get someone in here to help!" Beeeeeep, beep, beep, beeeeep ...
