The snakebit feeling also has spilled over to the offense. Cleveland left fielder Alex Ramirez robbed Michael Tucker of an RBI single in the first inning. Jolbert Cabrera took two hits away from Sean Casey. While playing center, he snared a sinking Casey liner in the third. Switched to left for the ninth, Cabrera leaped against the wall to glove Casey's bid for an extra-base hit.
Case is in a little funk.
And hit everything, too. Let's get a couple of clutch hits, have a starter keep us in the ballgame and play a whole nine innings. If we do that, sometimes it just takes one game to turn the corner. The best thing we can do as a whole team is don't panic. We're in a funk.
