A sure sign that this is our year!

The Tribe beat the White Sox, 2-1, today lifting their record to 6-3 overall, 4-2 in the toughest division in baseball, the AL Central. What is really cool is that they did it by getting only one hit. The hefty lefty, C.C. Sabathia, now at 3-0 on the season, struck out ten today. Kind of a weird win, but I will take it. Any win is a good one, and especially a win over a division rival. If we can just get Victor Martinez healthy and once Pronk starts hitting, it is going to be lights out for the rest of the AL Central!

So far, so good!

A season opening 12-5 beat down of the overrated Chicago White Sox. Let's be honest, by rights the AL Central is a two team race, the Tribe and the Detroit Tigers. Just what we needed, leadoff homer by Sizemore, 3 RBI each from Peralta and Martinez, an RBI triple by new guy Josh Barfield, 3 hits from ancient Trot Nixon. Six different starters had at least 1 RBI, seven starters at least one hit. A solid start from Sabathia. Really you couldn't ask for much more on opening day. I know it is only one game, but Opening Day is all about optimism!

UPDATE: Day two of the season, and the Indians are still undefeated at 1-0. Go Tribe!
