Westbrook OK, Indians lose again

I was excited about Westbrook coming back from the DL, I thought he would give an added boost to the team. However, I knew he might be a little rusty and have some trouble. He ended up going 5 innings, 3 ER, 5 hits, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 HR. I still don't think that A. Ramirez ever hit home plate, but I'm not the umpire. Losing 6-5 is always tough, they hit well enough to win, but didn't quite pitch well enough to win. The rafy's again sputtered giving up the other 3 runs. The Indians got to Floyd early scoring 2 runs in the 1st. The 6th was also a big inning after Dellucci's HR scored Victor and Peralta hit a 2 run HR to give the Indians the lead. Once again, the bullpen got outpiched by the White Sox trio of Dotel, Linebrink and Jenks. Losing 2 of 3 again does not sit well with me, that's 4 straight series that we lost, winning only 2 games in the last 12. Changes are being made, I don't know if they're the right ones or if they'll change anything, but Jorge Julio is not the reason for the poor performance recently. Hopefully playing Kansas City will turn things around, that's the best thing going for the Indians right now.
