Such is life

 The Indians lost on Friday night 11-10 even though they made a great comeback from an 11-1 deficit.   

The Indians lost on Saturday afternoon after Cal Quantrill and Blake Parker gave them 6 strong innings when two of their star relievers surrendered 4 walks and 2 HRs in a 7 batter segment of inning 7.

What can we make of this?  Absolutely nothing.

There is so much going wrong physically with this team that a glitch in the bullpen like Saturday's is magnified.  

As the Indians have said, keeping that stiff upper lip, there is no story here.  Move along.  

Such is life in a 162 game season.   Stuff happens.   End of story.

As I look at it with my pre-season prediction of 82-80, the Indians are still playing with house money.   The future of this offense looks much brighter than it did at the beginning of the season.   Some of their minor leaguers (Andres Gimenez, Nolan Jones) are starting to hit the ball well, making themselves options for later this year.

And you know what?  Even the Indians fan who made the most outrageous prediction about their finish this year, whoever that person is, still has a decent chance to be right if everything falls into place.

This is a long season.  We may have many highs and many lows left to go.

Frankly, if we don't win tomorrow we could be looking at a 5 game losing streak as I don't see much hope of us winning Monday or Tuesday against the Cubs.   

But, again, we came into this series 10 games over .500 and the worst we could end up leaving ChiTown is 5 games over .500.  Not great but not bad.

The wonderful thing about the standings is that if we win on Sunday we will have only lost one game to our games over .500 compared to how we came into Pittsburgh.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for a win by our Indians on Sunday.    I think it would go a long way to help take the sting out of Friday and Saturday.

I am an Indians fan.    Signing off for tonight!
