Fuck Yeah, Cleveland!

Before the Series, May 2nd, 2011

Current Record: 19-8, 1st in AL Central

Previous series vs Detroit Tigers (12-16)

Next series vs  Oakland A’s (15-14)

Two walk off wins and an 8th inning come-from-behind victory? Yes, please.

Another series, another sweep, so it seems. The Indians have already swept five series, one more than their total in the 2010 season. And after the best April in Tribe history, the media is starting to take notice and admit that this maybe isn’t a fluke.

The Indians are on fire right now, and according to closer Chris Perez, this is “better than Major League.” Alex White had a good debut on Saturday, while Gomez and Masterson both gave up runs early, but were able to get out of tough situations.

The hitting has come from everywhere in the lineup, no single hitter carries the weight of the whole team on his shoulders. This is a team that truly works together, and nobody lags behind.

Carlos Santana, who was slumping for weeks earlier, had three straight HRs from Thursday to Saturday, including a walk off grand slam on Friday.

Choo, who was in a similar situation, also seems to have turned it around.

Travis Hafner, who is amid a resurgence, has been out with a tendon strain in his foot. And, according to skipper Manny Acta, the DL is not out of the question. Blerg.

Well, we’re on the west coast this week, meaning plenty of 10:00pm starts. The Wahoos play the A’s for three days starting Tuesday before taking on the Angels and heading home.

I know it’s too early to talk playoffs, but our division sucks this season. GO TRIBE!

Edit: By the way, I don’t plan on live tumbl-ing games in the future. I was drunk and bored at the time.
