Go, Tribe!

Not easy for a Reds fan to say. But, absent pitching--as always--Cincinnati is unlikely to sniff a playoff berth for the forseeable future and so, it's only legit for an Ohioan to root for Cleveland this October.

In the first two games of their divisional playoff series with the Yankees, the Indians have found two different ways to win. Last night, they pummeled the Yanks, 12-3. Tonight, they won an exciting pitchers' duel with a 2-1 victory clinched in the bottom of the eleventh inning.

Since the league divisional series are best-of-five, the Tribe needs to take just one in the Bronx, not a small task. But after these two wins, I'm becoming a believer in the Indians.
