It's just one more injurious insult to the Indians, who currently have Travis Hafner, Jake Westbrook, and Fausto Carmona on the DL, along with their new "answer" at second base, Josh Barfield, who sprained his middle finger one day after being called up to replace former Mariner Asdrubal Cabrera. The Indians have been slipping steadily behind the ChiSox in the AL Central and, with Chicago finally remembering how to hit, they will be hard-pressed to stay in the race.

With CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee pitching lights-out, we will all have to watch to see what sort of difference Shoppach makes here.

tossed 54 straight in 1974, and the Indians longest since 1948, the last year they won the Series. Cliff Lee in particular has been lights out, starting out the season 6-0, with a microscopic 0.67 ERA and WHIP. Five of his starts have been shutouts, and two of them complete game shutouts. It's a mind-blowing beginning for a guy dangled in trade talks over the winter and generally considered to be a middle-of-the-road starter.
