The game was going well as planned. Until the 8th inning. The Indians were up 3-2 following a key double by Kelly Shoppach in the 2nd and a Garko sac fly in the 6th. Then the wheels came off of the bus. Laffey had pitched well, going 6.2 innings giving up only the two runs. Then Masa came in. He gave up a HR to Thames to lead off the 8th. He struggled some more and Betancourt came into the game. Wasn't Rafy good last year? This year he's been quite terrible. This time he gives up a grand slam to Edgar Renteria (who I have never liked since the 97 World Series). When the ball left the park, my heart sank, I flipped the channel in disgust and called it a day. The Indians refuse to let Aaron Laffey win his fair amount of games. There is no reason for him to have a 3-3 record with a 2.98 ERA. Another sad day for the Indians and quite possible the low point of the season.
