For Thursday lay a run and a half with the Twins.

I don't know why Fausto Carmona is as pathetic right now as he is but he just is. The Cleveland righthander was horrendous as a reliever three years back and would blow game after game after game. But then a season later Carmona was made into a starter and the guy became borderline great. The sinker was phenomenal and the righthander became part of a great one-two punch with then teammate CC Sabathia.

Unfortunately for Carmona he did get injured last season and has pretty much lost it. I do believe that if Carmona regains some confidence he could return to at least being a serviceable hurler but right now he is as bad as they come and here on the turf at the Metrodome is abou to get whacked by Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer and the Twins.

Cleveland is a mess of a club right now and it boggles my mind how Eric Wedge still has a job. The Indians definitely have some talent but have been underachieving over the last few seasons with the best of them. Grady Sizemore is now on the DL and Travis Hafner and Victor Martinez are not 100% healthy. The bullpen blows more games than...well you fill in the rest of the joke and playing in Minnesota with their turf and crazy roof is just not a very good environment for this Cleveland team. Yesterday the team obviously performed very well for their ace in Cliff Lee but lightning ain't striking twice here!

The Twins win a ton more than they don't when at home and Scott Baker, despite the rough start to the season, is not bad at all and will be just fine today in a solid 8-3 type of a victory.
