Glad to see Ubaldo Jimenez get his first win with the Indians, a 10-3 beating of the Tigers.
The victory brings Cleveland to within 2 games of the division leading Detroiters.
The races to watch in the American League will be in the Central and West. The East? Who cares? The Red Sox and Yankees will both be in the playoffs, one as a division winner the other as a wild card.
In the Central, I'm pulling for the Tribe for two reasons. I can't stand Tigers manager Jim Leyland. He's a jerk, which I know first hand from covering the Rockies during his one disastrous season managing them in 1999. Just a salty guy whom I believe is incapable of smiling.
The other reason I'm rooting for Cleveland is because of Don Pablo Apodaca, our trusty producer on the radio show. For some reason he's a loyal Indians fan so I hope he gets some satisfaction out of his team.
In the West, I'd like to see the Rangers hang on. They just seem like a likable team, fun to watch and I like owner Nolan Ryan, one of my favorite athletes ever. I'd also see the Yankees play them again in the playoffs. They owe Texas one.
