Tribe Watch (Week 8)
Record: 28-25
Standing: Second in AL Central
The Indians' performance this week did nothing to really motivate me to do this write up, but here I am anyways. This week the Tribe saw themselves fall out of first place, partially because those nasty Chicago White Sox are red hot and partially because we only managed to win two out of six games against Kansas City and Minnesota - a pair of divisional opponents that we need to beat. While our offense continues to struggle due to some key injuries, the bigger issue was the pitching. A staff that looked dominant against the Tigers has really faltered the past three series. If we want any chance of competing in this division, both our starters and middle relievers need to step up their game. We have another off day tomorrow and then head out onto the road for a lengthy trip. It will begin on Tuesday with a stint in Detroit. This weekend interleague play will resume as we square off against the Cardinals. At this point we can't afford to lose any more ground in the standings so we'll need to play competitive against this pair of decent teams. June has not been a good month in recent history for the Tribe, so let's change that up this year. Since the Indians won't be playing many home games this month, everyone needs to do their part in rooting on this team from their living room. Hopefully if we send good vibes their way, they can regain their winning ways. Go Tribe!

Tribe Watch (Week 21)
Record: 65-65
Standing: 3rd in AL Central
It was a wretched week performance wise and I really don't feel like talking about it. To put things in perspective to show you how the team has performed lately, the last time the Indians won three games in a row was July 2nd. Technically this should be an easy week playing the A's for four games at home and then a weekend set in Kansas City, but I just don't know what to think about this team anymore. It was nice to see them bring in Thome, who had a nice homecoming, but I'm not sure if his presence is even an bandaid at this point. At this point, we practically have a more impressive lineup on the DL than we do starting each game. It'd be nice if this team looked like they were trying, but it seems like they're closer to packing it in for the year than they are making a playoff push. They've made it tough for me recently, but still I must forge ahead and say Go Tribe!
