The Tribe has Spoken

Over 100 wins. A rotation with 100+ strikeouts and 10+ wins. 3 losses since August 24th. One of the best pitchers in baseball, and one of the best hitters in baseball.

I don't think ANYBODY wants to go up against the Cleveland Indians this postseason. Not only are they the team to beat, but they are the team people will have to beat in order to make for a less-obvious World Series.

It's looking like the ALDS might have to be the Indians vs. the Yankees. I know there is a chance the Twins could win, and I really don't want to jinx anything, but looking at this matchup now, I see a team that's playoff ready, and I see a team that's been fun but won't last a second in with the big guns. So I'm guessing it'll be Indians-Yankees, unless the Yanks manage to nab the AL East, which would be AMAZING, but...kinda unlikely.

If the Indians win that, which, let's face it, no matter who wins the Wild Card game, there's not a great chance they'll be able to take the Indians, they'll have to play either the Astros or Red Sox, which...can be done, but carefully.

So, if the momentum is what it is right now, the Indians are going back to the World Series. The picture IS GOING to shift, and teams are gonna get hot and cold, but right now the Indians are hotter than they've ever been, and it's going to be incredibly difficult to take them out. Which means the Astros, Red Sox, Yankees and Twins need to TRY.

Coming Tonight: One last casualty of an NL Wild Card race that was sealed since May.
