I am smiling a little wider right now.
A week after the Red Sox ended Cleveland's nine-game winning streak, the Indians turned around and ended Boston's seven-game winning streak. They did it by shutting down Boston's high-powered offense, retiring the last 14 batters in a row. The Red Sox managed just three hits.
Take that, guys who were wearing Johnny Damon jerseys last week at Jacobs Field.
I hope this is a great sign. I hope this means the Indians have finally gained a toe-hold above .500, something they were never able to do in last year's feast-famine season. They are now 40-34. If this offense is even somewhat consistent, the pitching is good enough to keep this team in the wild-card hunt all year.
