This past weekend at Progressive Field was 80s weekend.  I missed the first few games because of my road trip, but I was able to make it back in time for Sunday night’s game. I also went to the Monday night game.  The ended up being complete opposites.  I have never seen two games that were so different. 

Sunday night was one of the best pitched games I have ever seen.  I was hoping for just that when I found out the pitching match up was going to be Lee and Carpenter. They did not disappoint.  Carpenter made only a few mistakes and the Indians were able to capitalize.  He allowed 3 runs over 7 innings, striking out 3 and only giving up 5 hits.  His pitch total was only 89. For as good as Carpenter was, Lee was even better.  He walked the first batter of the game on 4 pitches.  Later that same inning he walked Pujols.  However, after that, the Cardinals had no threat until the 9th.  Not only was Lee good, he was great.  He had no hit stuff.  He carried is no-no into the 8th when Molina lead the inning off with a double.  I really thought he was going to do it.  Guys just were not hitting the ball hard off him all night.  Lee finished the game only allowing 3 hits.  He struck out 6 and only walked 2.  Cliff was truly dominate Sunday night. 

Monday night was quite the opposite.  I dont really want to say much.  We lost 14-12 to the Brewers, and were up 12-8 in the 8th.  Bad pitching on both sides.  Lots of homeruns and a Rick Vaughn Bobblehead were the only highlights. Perez has some major issues and cannot be counted on out of the pen.
