	The Cleveland Indians deserve your respect. I am sure if Boston or NY was having a stretch like the Indians you guys would be slobbering all over these boards. Let's see here what the Indians have done in recent memory shall we? We take down the AL Champion Detroit Tigers to win the AL Central. We Take down Yankees 3-1 in the ALDS. We take the two time World Series champs to the 7th game of the ALCS. Oh and by the way the Indians starters have now pitched 51 innings without giving up an earned run. Indians have 5 SHUTOUTS in their last 8 games and lead the league with 7! We turn the 14th unassisted triple play in Major League history last week.

	This was the record third unassisted triple play by a Cleveland fielder. Indians shortstop Neal Ball made the first one in history, in 1909. Cleveland second baseman Bill Wambsganss turned the only one in the World Series, in 1920 during a Game 5 win over Brooklyn.

	Our pitchers are the real deal. C.C. Sabathia, Fausto Carmona, Cliff Lee (whos worked 16 scoreless innings this month), Paul Byrd & Aaron Laffey own the lowest ERA in the majors at 2.96. Only 2 other pitchers produced a lower ERA then Lee after 7 starts: Fernando Valenzuela in 81 (0.29) & Mike Norris in 80 (0.45) Our position players own the lowest # of errors at 18 7 weeks into the season the Indians have proved they werent a fluke in 07. We ARE the team to beat

	Nobody ever doubted the Indians pitching-and I think Borowski going down was a blessing in disguise. They are still having some issues scoring runs of their own though-only ahead of KC in that department in the division. They should win the central fairly easily though.

	That's a good question what to call it. Right now lots of Cleveland fans are into the Cavs playoffs. When they are over I think more will come over to baseball.

	No one should be doubting the Indians pitchers in C.C. Sabathia, Fausto Carmona, Cliff Lee (who has surprised me greatly), Paul Byrd (who also certainly is impressing me) and Aaron Laffey! The Indians has a good young team and a great centerfielder in Grady Sizemore!
