And we're half way there!
The Indians finish the halfway mark at 49-32, which means they're on a pace to end the year 98-64, which would be the most wins we've had since '96. Hey, at this point we're just 30 wins shy of topping last year's record...
And the Tigers are off tomorrow, which means we have a chance to add a 1/2 game to our lead before the big series kicks off on Tuesday.
Again, the big story today was Cliff Lee going seven innings and only giving up one run. Unbelievably, he's gotten his ERA under five and now has a winning record.
For that matter, Westbrook has dropped his ERA nearly two runs since returning and appears to be moving back to form. The idea of Lee and Westbrook pitching like we know they can is exciting as hell and, really, makes me feel like we have one of the top rotations in baseball again.
And while it's going to be annoying if Victor doesn't make the All-Star game, it will be good for the Tribe to get some time off; they've been playing non-stop for a while now.
