Article: The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio, Patrick McManamon column: Indians decide they won't be offensive to Jose Contreras.

Sep. 3--CLEVELAND -- Well, that was a dud.

A big old dinosaur egg dropped flat on the hot sidewalk. Crack and splat.

And the Indians didn't hide from it. How could they, really, when they give up 18 hits and eight runs to the last-place team in the American League Central and scored none of their own?

Go figure.

The Indians started Sunday's game against the White Sox with an eight-game winning streak.

Jose Contreras was starting for Chicago.
