I've been sitting around my house in a drug/concussion induced haze all week, so I had something in common with the Indians this week...the haze, not the drugs or the concussion. Yeah, a week with a long road trip from Baltimore to California, struggling starters AND relievers, blown leads and blowouts, with a sprinkle of Fausto in between, making a whole lot of fans thank their lucky stars, and make a few current starters sweat a bit. Yeah, pretty much just an ordinary week of Tribe baseball.
It's funny how nearly a decade of winning baseball still couldn't wipe out a lifetime of losing baseball before it. Of course, the head injury may have left me with some gaps. Enough aobut that...let's get rolling...
Jason Davis was designated, and then, ultimately traded to the Mariners. Originally, I was going to discuss why so many people had mentioned Davis in such detail, being that Davis has never been much more than a project, and not a very good one. There wasn't anyone who wanted him to succeed more than I did. Still, the facts on Davis are pretty plain.
