A Series Win
Well, last week was a pretty tough one for a Tribe fan. We lose Cliff Lee, a former Cy Young award winner who was called upon to be our ace after trading away the previous Cy Young award winner the year before in CC Sabathia. Jeez, I tell you what, I hope the Indians never develop a Cy Young award winner ever again.
Then we lose Victor Martinez, the heart and soul of this team. I don’t think anybody wanted to be an Indian more than that guy, and they let him go. If upper management would have let him, he would have been an Indian til his final days in the game. He’s got power from both sides of the plate, can hit for average, has improved every year defensively, and he plays hard all the time. And he’s gone.
However, with all that negativity the Tribe found a way to win their last series versus the division leading Detroit Tigers. It has been a rough year, but I can’t help but love seeing stuff like that. They still have fight in them, they aren’t going to just throw in the towel.

I promise – we Red Sox fans will take very good care of V-Mart. He might not have wanted to leave Cleveland, but he is doing “okay” with the Red Sox.
