The Tribe

The first day of May and the amazing Indians picked up where they left off in April. Cleveland has now won 6 in a row and Detroit has dropped 6 straight as the Indians got past the Motor City Kitties today 5-4.
After dropping their first two home games at Jacobs Field this season, the Clevelanders have rattled off 13 consecutive home wins. And yes, I called it Jacobs Field. I don't know what the hell corporation stuck their name on there by giving the club cash but I do know this. That company isn't paying me to say their name. So I'll call it by its original name, Jacobs Field.
The Indians are 19-8 and on our show website, www.turfsports.net, on the baseball predictions page, nobody picked Cleveland higher than fourth. Even die hard Indians fan Don Pablo Apodaca picked the Indians to finish in last place.
How long will this run continue for the Indians? I don't know but so far they are the surprise team of the season and I hope they keep it going.
As for the Tigers, I have a hard time pulling for them since I can't stand their manager. I'm glad they are playing lousy baseball and are just 12-16. That city deserves a better manager than the overrated Jim Leyland.
