Cleveland Sports-apalooza

An unexpected perk of this trip back to Ohio is that tonight (in Kent), I was able to watch the Indians/Tigers game (and the Cavs/Pistons game) at a bar with fellow fans. It was a pretty heady night for Cleveland fans and it was awesome to watch it with a bunch of like-minded folks. An old man with a beard suggested buying lottery tickets with our good luck.

To me, the epitome of this team came at the beginning of the game, when Ryan Garko made a diving stop at first and tossed it to Fausto for the out. Fausto gave Garko the fist on fist salute, and Barfield came over and tapped him with his glove. All three were smiling and clearly having a great time. It was just one of those moments when you realize what a great bunch of guys we have on this team. How could we NOT support them?

The sweep was nice, but let's not forget that we've just passed the first part of our big road trip. We head into Boston with the back end of our rotation, facing a team that looks unstoppable.

Should be fun.
