    The Indians came from behind in every game to win.

    The Set-up guys in the pen really make it happen. Magic number is three. Everyone has been contributing, including the platoon of Lofton and Michaels.

    Trot could prove a valuable pinch hitter if the starting nine had a real weak spot in it.

    Besides the recurriing theme from all three games that the Indians fell behind was that in every game, the Indians starter hung on to pitch a few more innings even after they had given up several runs.

    When we finally caught and passed Detroit in each game Detroit had to bail out it's starters during the Indians rallies. The Indians starters being able to go additional innings even after they give up a few runs seems to give the Indians a strange advantage over their opponents, who usually turn to their bullpen too early in the game and face the problem of one of their relievers not being effective.
