Maybe McCarthy and Feldman did fall short of hope or expectations. But what if you were in Cleveland and facing a long season with a number three starter named Carl Pavano?

Maybe not 162 - 0 but 156 - 6 or there about. Obviously that isn't going to happen. But how much closer to typical is the offensive output so far than the pitching lines? They are on a pace to score better than 1500 runs! I hope the offense keep this up until they get the pitching straightened out.

The next batter obviously hits a 2 run bomb immediately following. I don't care if he ends up having to throw it 45 mph to get it over the plate, but walking the leadoff batter up 9-1 is unforgivable. But other than that , considering the windy circumstances and it being his first start, I think he did well and has something to build on.
