A. Both wasted a lot of great pitchers with very little to show for it.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I go away to Northern Michigan to relax with my wife's family, and the Indians are still wasting great pitching performances by not scoring runs against questionable pitching. Last night, Fausto Carmona was dominant except for two pitches, and the Indians got 1 hit off a guy who was in AA a week and a half ago. The result - a 2-1 loss to the Tigers, and now their division lead is back to 0.5 games.
Let me repeat this. Jair Jurrjens (and yes, that appears to be his real name) was in AA a week and a half ago. Last night, the Indians got 1 hit.
This is getting ugly to the point where it's becoming painful to watch. At what point do you say that it's virtually impossible for a team with that many hitters with a track record to all be in slumps like this at the same time and look for some organizational cause? Do we fire Derek Shelton to shake this team up? Yet, the team is still in first place. Go figure.

Indians' bats:
Right now, the Indians' bats got no Elvis
Indians' starting pitching:
The Indians' starting pitching has so much Elvis right now that they're all wearing blue suede sneakers.
The Cleveland Indians:
Bad hitting plus good starting pitching = only moderate Elvis.
