The slide continues, this time with the Indians losing a very winnable extra-inning game to the Chicago Whine Sox, who are acting like the only team interested in winning the AL Central. The final score was 6-3, with the final act of utter humiliation being Scott Elarton giving up a two-run double to light-hitting, seldom [...]

Let’s go to the checklist: Excellent starting pitching wasted? Check Closer gives up a home run? Check Fielding errors gives up costly runs? [...]
