Tribe Watch (Week 11)

Record: 34 - 29

Standing: First in AL Central (by percentage points)

I'm not really in the mood to talk baseball right now after the Indians disasterous week. They only managed one win and that was a pathetic 1-0 victory against the Twins. Right now our offense is so anemic, it's not even funny. I wish I had answers, but if I did, then so would this team and they'd be able to fix things. We can only hope that this is a bad slump and that the team will be able to get out of it eventually. Otherwise, the hot start will merely be an aberration and we'll be looking at the bottom of the division once again. Our performance this week will be critical. After finishing up the series against the Yankees tonight, we head to Detroit for a three game series against the Tigers who are now tied with us for first place. The outcome of that series could dramatically shift the outlook of the division. After we finish with the Tigers, we'll return home to play against the Pirates, a team that while better, is still a beatable team. If we right the ship, this week could get us right back to where we were before this slump. I'll be rooting hard for that to happen and I hope the rest of you will as well. Go Tribe!
