We are in Indianapolis to begin a 4 game series with manager/LF Ed Wakefield (27-5.6) and his Hoosiers today. They are 6th in runs scored with 6.4 per game (Detroit, with our injuries and crap hitting cleanup hitter have dropped all the way to the bottom of the pile with 5.9). They are 7th in runs allowed with 7.8 per game (Detroit is #1 with 5.4). Their 7th Street Park is maybe the fairest place to play a ball game for pitchers and hitters. It is fairly tough to hit one over the right field fence, but quite a bit easier to left.
