Cleveland 5, Chicago WS 1

ap recap :: box score :: game log

Whoo-hoo! In one fell swoop, the Indians have made it to .500, gained a game on the White Sox and inched a ½ game closer to Minnesota. I watched most of the game, but I would get a bit nervous, so I puttered around the house during some of it. I haven't felt that way about an Indians game in years--since the '01 playoffs to be exact. I realize now how supporting a non-contending team has its advantages! You get to laugh at their mistakes instead of cringe and there's no anxiety during games. If they win, great; if not, there's always tomorrow. But now I find myself with a team that is actually contending for 1st place in their division. My guess is that this status will be short-lived because I don't see how on earth this team can keep it together until August. But right now...today...they are in a position to overtake the number 2 team and get within 1 of the leaders. Incredible.

With the dominance of the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central, things have been happy around the house this spring. I wonder what the summer will hold.
