An awesome game. A totally depressing game. Esteban Loaiza by all accounts pitched the best game of his major league career, allowing no runs and only 4 hits over 7+ innings. He left the game with the lead, not having given up much of anything. Jeff Zimmerman came in, and after a minor tense moment, shut down the Indians, and we handed the game over to John Wetteland in the bottom of the 9th. He got the first batter out on one pitch, but then proceeded to give up back to back solo home runs to Manny Ramirez & Jim Thome to allow the Indians to walk away with a 2-1 win.
This was a most spectacular game on both sides of the coin. I am just disgusted at the ending. I really don’t know what more to say about this one. Was an awesome game to watch, but the last 2 minutes of it I am still shaking my head over almost 24 hours later.
Hopefully Esteban can keep this up all season, it was a total masterpiece by him.
