Streak

I was reading the article about the "botched" execution in Oklahoma, and, well, the SOB died, didn't he?  And I bet it was a hell of a lot more humanely than that of his victims...not that anyone remembers them.

So, I realize the Tribe has lost four in a row before, and will again, and the season is early...but, man, it is painful to watch.  The worst -- so far -- is becoming Francona's slow hook...on everything.  Leaving Masterson in too long.  Leaving Santana in the four hole (one 3-R HR does NOT a slump break).  Now, the latest revelation, about Carrasco to the 'pen...it's not awful, and it should have been done in spring training...but I do wonder how much of the damage was caused by leaving him out there when it was obvious he had lost it.  More snarkily, I am glad the Ivy League types in the front office finally figured this out.  At least we don't have Donald Sterling as an owner, but the slow paean of incompetence isn't really any better, is it now?
