9 runs not good enough, lose Carmona to make things worse

This was just a really bad series, again. After being swept by the Reds and the White Sox last week, the Indians lost the series to the Rangers, but at least did win 1 game. However, the way they played, they should have won all 3. The first game was a classic extra innings pitchers duel between Mathis and Sabathia. Mathis didn't pitch that great, but the Indians bailed him out in numerous situations was lucky to escape many of them. CC pitched dominantly once again but was given no run support once again. To lose a game 2-1 in extra innings is not a good way to go. At least Cliff Lee played the role of stopper to take the second game 5-2 and improve to 7-1, and hey! look! Joe Borowski's back! And he got a save! yay! I'd rather have jensen and breslow back than have borowski and elarton. The bullpen situation is going to be interesting. The Indians showed up in game 3 and scored 9 runs for their biggest offense output in weeks. But the Indians pitchers didn't show up, Carmona got hurt and they gave up 13 runs. A 4 spot and a 7 spot put up on the Indians in the first 3 innings is definitely not a good thing. However, the Indians did attempt a comeback, although futile, they didn't give up which is a good sign. So although they lost 2 of 3, I'm still optimistic going into the next series against the White Sox, and with it being at home, i like our chances even more. And once again, I say good bye to Jensen Lewis and Craig Breslow and hope to see you soon.
