Indians Sweep Oakland, er the Angels, um the Reds...

[Alex]

Actually, we were 9-1 against those three first place teams.

Then a 14-0 win against Baltimore.

Tribe is looking good right now. I have to say, I'm quite surprised they haven't fallen apart. After some of the horrible, awful relief pitching, I expected to see them like KC or Pittsburgh or Montreal. Just playing out the season. That hasn't happened despite a poor relief staff.

If Lee gets suspended, might Tadano make a spot start? He's been doing pretty well of late, and was starting at Buffalo.

I think there will be lots of changes soon. Guys coming back from injury. That's not necessarily for the better, though. I'm concerned about D'Amico. If he really was hurt, then maybe he can find his groove. If the injury was just an excuse for bad pitching, then I don't see any reason for him to change when he returns. Lots of other guys rehabbing now, too. If two of them can pitch well, there's no reason to think the Tribe won't contend all year.
