Around The American League

[DewsSox79]

They are up 12 games in the loss column.

4 months left in the season.

how many games up were we when had our meltdown in 2005 before winning the division?

monte carlo of vegas has the indians at a 47% chance of winning the division, by far the lowest compared to all the other division leaders or teams out. boston is at 87% and they arent even in sole possession of 1st place. 47% from the best team in baseball.

i'm still not convinced of the indians' prowess. if you've followed their games closely, you would see that they've faced incompetent pitching in most games. they also have quite a few strikeouts for the best team in the american league.

 

[Uman85]

True, but they still get the +1 in the win column. That's all that really counts right now.

Tribe got waxed 14-2 by the Sawx

...and the Sox can't capitalize against the Rangers. :facepalm:

 

[Uman85]

Boston pounded Cleveland 14-2 last night and pounded Detroit this afternoon 14-1.

rooting for the Red Sox, Rangers, Rays and Angels this weekend....

 

[Uman85]

Boston is blazing. After such a poor start, they've been really impressive in taking over first place. Still hate them, but they can play.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Jo-Jo Reyes wins for first time in 29 starts.

Jo-Jo Reyes wins for first time in 29 starts.

:beerbang: :crazydance: :woot:

 

[Uman85]

Good news is the Injuns are stumbling right now. Rangers have their number this year.

 

[DewsSox79]

cant gain ground on the indians. awesome!

Looks like we won't be battling the Indians at all, Tigers in position at the moment to run away with it.

 

[Uman85]

Cleveland is choking in June right now.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Sox within 5.5 games now

 

[DewsSox79]

this will come down to the sox and tigers.

 

[nickofypres]

Only 4.5 back of Detroit.

 

[Uman85]

Indians are being exposed right now. Their players are slowly slipping to their career numbers, which are average. Door is open for the Sox, but it looks like the Tigers are going to be the first to step inside and take the AL Central lead.

 

[Uman85]

Twins are starting to heat up. Couple solid wins recently. They're definitely playing better.

 

[AE23]

damn, Detroit and Cleveland both won, 2-1, and 1-0 respectively
