tied with boston for the 3rd best record in baseball and they are still hardly hanging onto the wild card
wow the al central is tough
Well they were playing well but now the AL East is up for grabs. Looks like Schilling last years hero might be this years reason for missing the playoffs.Counterfit said:Uh, have you actually watched any of the Sox games this year? I swear, half of those wins were by sheer luck. And of course, Wakey has no luck. 9 innings, 1 ER, 12 SO, and he STILL can't win![]()
MLB Standings on August 1st show the Indians back by 15 games. As of today they are 3 1/2 back of the White Sox. Quite a runMacNut said:These last 2 weeks could turn out to be the best ever as everything might come down to the last weekend of the season. Cleveland looks unstoppable but I think Chicago will have a little bit left to give the Indians.
I don't see Chicago going without a fight tho, I would hope that after the season the White Sox had they wont go quietly and will make the Indians work for it.Lord Blackadder said:The Indians will win the division.
Go Tribe!
Our starting rotation is the best it's been in years, and our whole batting order is a threat. Belliard might miss some of the series with Chicago though...
As long as one of them stays ahead of the Yankees for the wild cardMacNut said:I don't see Chicago going without a fight tho, I would hope that after the season the White Sox had they wont go quietly and will make the Indians work for it.

Sayhey said:You and I and about 95% of baseball fans! Unfortunately, we don't get to vote on this and it's looking like they may just take the division. Those last games against Boston are going to be huge.

I think the AL Central will have quite the battle for the next few years. Especially if the Cleveland front office can hang on to some of those better players, and find someone to take Wickman's place should he retire (although he'll probably retire when Clemens doesLord Blackadder said:Bigger than Huge.

Well, the Indians took 2 out of 3 from the White Sox, and the way they played during the series makes me believe that they can take the central division away from Chicago as long as they don't do something stupid like lose to the Royals...Even though they lost on Tuesday it was close and they got 5 runs off Buehrle (and the walk-off dinger came off Riske, not go-to guy Wickman), so I'm confident that we have what it takes.
Anyway I think we'll take the wild card worst-case, so overall this has been a very good season for the Tribe.
