Wind and rain are not the only bad words to describe Cleveland this weekend. The Indians fall on the short end of the series losing two of three in front of the home crowd to drop to 5-7 on the year. That makes us, drum roll please, 3-6 versus the west coast here in the early going. However, it could always suck more, we could be like the Detroit “Overrated” Tigers who are now 2-10 and dead last in runs scored and allowed. Nevertheless, before you jump off either of these teams bandwagons and join the few Royals fans still out there, remember its only game twelve, which means one-hundred fifty more to go.
Normally we would usually start with the “Good” but given the circumstances and the numerous players in attendance for the bad this series, we shall go in reverse.
With a hard six games in California the Tribe finally get to come back home. A much needed off day if given to them tomorrow then they take on the Oakland As for three and then Boston and Detroit for two each.
We have had our Tribe back for a week already so let us look at the good and the bad so far.
The opening series is here and gone. It wasn't a sweep but it was an opening series win against a division rival. The only reason it wasn't a sweep is we forgot how to hit in the finale.
Overall I think we looked good. We hit the ball hard and in timely situations, for the first two games, and we got some very good starting pitching. The bullpen got us out a few jams and sealed two wins and kept us in todays game.
