I haven't posted much about the Indians lately. First, it was because I was busy with school and then it was because they weren't playing that great. But after the terrible finish to the series with the A's, the Tribe has rebounded nicely with a sweep over the Twins. The first two games the bats came to life, which was great to see. Today, it was the awesome pitching performance by Fausto Carmona outdueling Johan Santana (the second time he's done that this season!) We now enter into a weekend series with the Reds (interleague play already?), and we usually beat them up, so I expect the same result this weekend. Also, with a Tigers loss today, we're back on top in the Central division. If after this weekend, we're in first after the first 40 games, that would be a real good sign for the rest of the season.
The big question right now for the Tribe is what to do when their injured get healthy. When Jake Westbrook comes back, what do you do with Carmona, who's just been fantastic. I hate to say it, but if Sowers doesn't shape up, he might be the one who loses his job. Then you have Andy Marte due to return soon as well. In his place, Casey has proved to be better defensively and lately has been producing on offense as well. Marte may just come off the DL and head straight to Buffalo, which wouldn't bother me one bit.

Poor Braves,
1 1/2 games back now to the jerk Mets. It's one or the other. They either suck or they blow.
Peace
Maybe if you wouldn't lose so many games to the lowly Nationals, you wouldn't be in this predicament. :)
