Since starting the season at 8-13, the Indians have gone 18-4 in their last 22 games to vault themselves into 1st place in the A.L. Central Division.

I still don't think they're legit. I know we were amazing in 1 run games and extra innings last year, but we were a better team. They are also a measley 8-11 against teams .500 or above. They're feasting on weak competition and they have a tough schedule coming up. Gut check time.

I wonder when the Scott Kazmir experiment will come to an end.

The Indians lost 3 straight games to the Tigers so far.

Detroit goes for the 4-game sweep tomorrow night.

Talk about being owned, the Tigers flat out own Cleveland. Barring a complete and utter tank job by Detroit, I don't see Cleveland having any shot at the division, and I've no belief they can overcome any combination of the Red Sox, Rays, O's, Rangers, A's, and now the Royals to get one of the wild card spots.

By sweeping the Angels tonight, the Indians passed last year's win total (when they went 68-94) ....... and they still have 35 games left to play.

They may or may not make the postseason, but either way, they have proven themselves to be legitimate.

A late-season tear gave the Indians the # 1 wildcard spot, as the await the winner of today's game between the D-Rays and the Rangers.

A valiant season by the Indians ended in a playoff birth, and a loss to the Rays at Progressive Field.

92 wins overall.
