Why did Odysseus lose eleven ships in the story of The Odyssey?

Poseidon, god of the sea, was furious at Odysseus and did everything to stop him from getting back home.
This is the general reason, but more specifically, in book X (10) of The Odyssey, around line 90, he lands on an island where most of his men are slaughtered by giants. By somewhere around line 140, everybody's getting mauled so he sails his ship away and leaves everybody else behind. Pretty cold, if you ask me.
