The Tribe Bullpen: Brought to You by Chico's Bail Bonds

Boy, that was a slow motion train wreck from the 6th inning on, wasn't it? It's way too early to get your shorts in a bunch, but the Tribe's relief pitching started off this series shaky and ended it flat out lousy. Last night was a classic example of why they ought to sell Pepto Bismol at the ballpark: walking nine batters in four innings is just not a good way to end your home stand.

At times last night, you could almost hear the Toreador Song in the background as a series of inept Tribe hurlers rendered the best Rudi Stein impersonation that the Major Leagues have seen this season.
