I. LOVE. THIS. TEAM. There is literally no one on this entire roster who I don't like, except maybe Austin Kearns.
Cleveland is a Browns town, and always will be, with the Tribe and Cavs scrambling for the scraps in terms of fans. When LeBron was here, the Cavs has the upper hand over the Indians. Now that he's gone, the Indians are taking back the casual fans. Last Friday was the largest non-opening day crowd since 2008.
Who knows if this will keep up, but every day it looks more and more like they're for real. 4 starters with ERAs in the 2's or 3's, an offense that hits in the clutch, and very good defense. I have tribe fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell.
And by the way, it's 19-1 now.

In my dreams they keep coming back to win the Central but in reality they have no chance.

I know the feeling. But take a few deep breaths, exhaling slowly, and calm down.
I was born in Manhattan and should be a dyed-in-the-wool Yankees fan – the Giants and Dodgers had moved to Californee-ay and the Mets were yet to be. A number of years in St. Pete Beach with the Grapefruit League were tremendous. Additional years in Orlando, where the Twins wintered, introduced me to the likes of Killebrew (more on that later).
I hit the Twin Cities in 1979 (Or was it 1978? Hell, I don't remember.) I've had the pleasure of witnessing said Twinkies win the Series twice in my years here. Sad to say, the Twinlers are sucking so far this year.
Qué sera. My favorite sis-in-law (my only one post divorce, truth be told) is a Cleveburg (Shaker Heights) native so I lean toward the Indians and the Browns when the Twins and the Vikings aren't a factor.
Hell, I haven't been a New Yawker in 51 years ... I guess it's time to give up allegiance to the Yankees.
GO TRIBE!!!!

in that crappy division i'd say anyone close to .500 at this point in of the year has a legit chance...as long as they don't go into one of their annual 10 game losing skids i'd say they will be in it to the end.

I loved the 90's tribe... and would love to see them continue this... nothing against the Twins either... only team I'd like to see win that divison more than Cleveland is KC for obvious reaons... plsu KC has some of the best unis in sports... the baby blues may be the very best...
anyway, back on topic... love baseball and this is a great baseball story...

Its really been a fun season to watch so far. I really hope the Tribe can keep it up. I miss October baseball in Cleveland.
Love the Tribe!!! Would love to see them keep this up!!
The club has some really high morale going on right now, just about every espn recap has someone quoted saying how much fun it is to play right now... just hope that when they hit a difficult stretch they don't crumble. easy to be positive when you are winning.

I use to know every player at every position. Now that is not the case. Cleveland trades good players for unknowns...gets rid of their Cy Young winners for unknowns and I'm going crazy..thinking what are they doing. Well so far this year I am humbled by it. Shows you don't need All-Stars or big paying players to win games on a daily basis. I love watching the games. I love seeing the fans in the stands for a change. I remember when they had the longest ongoing sellout record. Love what I'm seeing so far. This is starting to resemble Major League.

There's nothing I love more thAn when small market teams win and big mArket teams lose. By the way, if you take the Indians payroll, double it, and then double THAT, you get the Yankees payroll, who have lost 6 straight. I love baseball

As an Indians fan, I hate you! Just joking, but we will see how much sense this move makes. I don't think they are done making deals yet either.
