Record: 24-13
Standing: First in the AL Central
Not a whole lot to talk about this week given the off day last Monday and the fact that the last two games have been rained out. Those rain outs are a real shame too considering that series against Seattle could have been a real good opportunity to get our bats going again after they laid dormant for most of the Tampa Bay series. We were fortunate to get the first win off of them, but then their stellar pitching shut us down for the second and third game. The first game against Seattle was tremendous as Hafner's home run provided the Indians with yet another walk-off win. It really seems like the magic is back at Jacobs Field (still don't like calling it by it's new name). It's a shame though that we'll be spending this upcoming week back out on the road. We have a pair of two game series to start the week against Kansas City and Chicago. We should play well against both, but we don't want to take anything for granted since wins against divisional rivals are important. Then we'll begin a weekend series at home with the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds have played us tough in recent years and they're currently a contender, so it should be a good test to see how we handle playing against a decent team. Since I live in Dayton, I really hope we do well so that I can listen to the Reds fans complain and cry. Win or lose though, it's always fun to be an Indians fan!
