Box Score: Tigers 10, Indians 8 (10 inn.)

August 5, 2012 by 10 Comments

The losing streak has reached nine, though this one had some serious style points.

The Indians against all odds prevented a leadoff triple from ending the game in the bottom of the ninth by intentionally walking Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder to load the bases following a strikeout of Omar Infante by Josh Tomlin. A 3-2-3 double play sent the game into extras, where Travis Hafner and Ezequiel Carrera gave the Indians a lead with back to back homers. Chris Perez, however, blew only his third save of the season in tremendous fashion with the capper being a walkoff two-run homer in the bottom of the tenth by Miguel Cabrera to give the Tigers the sweep. The Tribe ends the roadtrip 0-9 and heads back home to face the Twins tomorrow night.

Get your popcorn ready and watch your Twitter timeline, folks.

    Wow that was brutal. I am not sure how you come back after that. Maybe if that happens and it isn’t after 8 other losses you can recover from it. But holy crap. Is there any reason now we don’t see Laporta and Canzler play for the last two months?

  • AbsentFan

    Okay,..I’m gonna say it. Perez is just like Borowski (A.K.A “inferno”), he stinks. He walks wayyyyyyy too many hitters to be a closer. I’m sorry, I’ve tried to give him breaks, but today took the cake. I’m surprised Tomlin didn’t take a shot at him after the game since he was in line for the win. Don’t give me the save percentages for Perez either. Many times he creates his own problems and just gets out of the inning for a save. Pestano needs to move into the closer role and give Perez what he wants, a ticket out of here with a trade. One inning – five runs. Terrible!

    yes, at this point, considering everything that has gone on, everyone at every level should be scrutinized heavily

    I know how can be not be perfect!? Every other closer is!

  • 5KMD

    Just nit picking as I agree with most of your post, but I’m sure Tomlin not getting the personal win was the last thing discussed in the clubhouse.

  • 5KMD

    Start rooting for the higher draft pick. Twins are on our heels!

    You knew it was coming. We could feel what was about to happen next. It was just like the 90′s, except so different. As much as you could just feel it that Manny was about to take Eck deep or Sorrento was going to complete the comeback, you could just feel the Chris Perez collapse coming. In the 90′s, we didn’t turn the tv or radio off because we knew we were about to watch something amazing. Now, we don’t turn it off even though we know it’s going to be painful, yet we still watch in dismay. In the 90′s we were at the top of the world and there was truly magic in an Indians uniform. All we are left with is memories of “What if.” What if that team would have won it all? Would these losses hurt as bad? What if the Dolans never bought this team? Would a different ownership have fielded a different result. What if we were strong enough to turn off the tv, instead of sitting through the pain of another loss and another collapse after the all-star break?

    Why do we put ourselves through? We knew it was coming. Not just the game last night, but the post all-star break collapse. This team, this ownership and this front office has sold it’s fans on the idea of the potential of this team, rather than putting a team on the field that we just knew was full of talent and full of magic. Luck doesn’t just happen, people make their own luck. The Dolans and this management have certainly made their own and the result is a game like last night and a season like 2012. I don’t know how much more the Dolan apologists can say because the evidence is glaring and right there in your face and in your heart.The difference between an ownership and front office wanting to win and hoping to win was the difference between a Tigers and Indians uniform. It’s the difference between the 90′s and today. I’m tired of hoping to win. Now, I just hope I can make it through the season, still a fan of the team and the game I love. I’m not sure I want it still, but at least I have hope. Maybe the Dolans can explain how they constantly deal with the disappointment.
