Fausto Carmona

oly shit, the Cavs lost!

-I would pitch around Mike Jacobs right now.

-Kerry Wood is channeling Fausto Carmona.

-Wow, sticking with Kerry Wood with the bases loaded and one out.

-Actually, what Matt Underwood called a wicked curveball, looking more like a hanging one to me that Wood was lucky Teahen watched go by.

Cleveland Indians (14-26) @ Kansas City Royals (21-18)

Fausto Carmona (2-4, 5.70) vs. Gil Meche (2-4, 4.60)

Can it get much worse for the Indians after last night? I think I should just copy and paste that question to use for the rest of the season.
