The good news is we are finished with Cleveland for the time being. The bad news is…well, to be honest, there isn’t enough time in a lunch hour to tell you the bad news. I really could go on for a long while about what was bad about last night, because frankly it was all bad. Pitching, defense, hitting. Beckett not only looked human, he just plain sucked. Poor Manny Delcarmen just can’t seem to record outs. Despite some seemingly solid pitching, his ERA is like 786.00, much to the fault of the defense behind him.
However, rather than rant in frustration or sulk in disappointment, I will try to put a positive spin on it. We are still in First. Not that that matters that much but it still makes me feel a little better. Beckett is allowed to suck because he is human and is not going to go undefeated. Only Yankee farm-hands who no one has ever heard of and get brought up midseason have that kind of luck.
I hate getting swept and I hate getting swept in blow-outs even worse. We were outscored 23-4 in two games. I think its best to just leave these ones alone. Let’s move on to Tampa Bay shall we? Perhaps our track record there will prevail and help us erase the last two games. Here’s hoping anyways.
