    Incredibly tragic scene. Pictures are horrific. Was there work being done on it at the time of the accident?

      My brother-in-law said there's been a lot of construction on the bridge all summer. It's also old - from the late 60's I think.

        Yeah Erin, they had been resurfacing the bridge all summer. There was however, no work being done on the steel structure of the bridge.

Offense continues to struggle

The Indians continue to struggle with the offense, and in the standings. They lose their third straight game, and four of five. Magically, they are still only 1 game behind division leading Detroit, which continues to nearly mirror the Indians' results. We can't continue to count on the other team losing, however, because the Tigers are too good to continue this.
