Game 2 vs Tribe another L

Birds put up a good fight in this one but dropped another as their plummet in the standings is dropping them to mediocrity. Aubrey Huff failed to extend his hitting streak which ends at a long 19 games. B Rob extends his to 14. No long balls hit out in this one but Sizemore was close hitting one off the center field wall but his teammate ended up getting thrown out trying to score from 1st. Bad defense hurt the Birds in this one as Mora twice bobbled balls hit at him and then threw one way over first for the Horrendous Defense award. O's tied this one at five after trailing 4-0 and 5-2 but Mora was robbed of a hit that would have kept things looking favorable for the Birds in a rally. He was doubled up on a rocket up the middle but an Indian was playing right there (not a Chingy reference). The Birds are struggling and need qauity outinghs to get the series even at two with Guthrie and Cabrera going the next two. The might very well get a couple of strong outings form the top part of their rotation and the sorley need those two to be on top of their game because i believe the offense will end up scoring enough runs to win. We will find out if that will indeed be the case.
