What a great few weeks. AZ wins 13 in a row and Dodgers lose 12 of 13. That right there is how you make up 13 games in the standings in just over 2 weeks.

Indians are the first team since 1957 to complete a road trip 11-0 or better.

They've outscored opponents during the 15-game winning streak 109-28.

Their +81 run differential during the streak is the best in MLB in a 15-game span since the 1939 Yankees.

We have to play Cleveland in two weeks. Three games at the Big A. Those games are in the middle of a 12-game stretch with Houston and Texas being the other two teams. Houston, six games.

That could be the season right there. We need to step up to a higher level during that time.

Angels should be OK vs Cleveland as long as Bud Norris isn't pitching with the bases loaded

Two shy of the A'th AL record of 20 straight wins, which also happened around this time in 2002

[arch stanton]

Fun fact-Every time an AL team wins 20 straight games the Angels end up winning the World Series that year

[fan_since79]

They could tie the 1947 Yankees tonight, who won 19 in a row.

Victor Alcantara, the guy we traded to Detriot for Maybin, made his debut this week. 1 hit, 1 HBP, 1K in 1 IP. Are we still winning that trade?

Hey, he had the #1 all around.

Just as long as the Indians continue to beat up on the Twins and Royals, and the Red Sux and Skanks continue to beat up on the O's and Rays.

Dodgers/Giants had a 42-minute rain delay in San Francisco. Then they started playing. Curtis Granderson struck out, and a sudden torrential downpour ensued. The tarp got stuck and the groundskeepers are struggling to get it out. The infield right now is a muddy mess. Unreal.
