With the Indians finally opening a season off on a sizzling start, I’m unsure what to believe in right now. After such a long off-season which really for me was all about a fresh start for the team I have been ecstatic about just everything Indians related thus far.
There are few things worse than waiting 6 months for the season to start and then falling to 3-9 or such as the season opens. You feel like the season is done, especially if you really are a non-contender to begin with. That’s why, this start is extra special to us Tribe fans. We really have no expectations and for our hearts to be taken this early yet again would have been brutal.
The Indians haven’t even been relevant into Mid-May the past couple seasons so we have literally been in 4th or 5th every minute of the season lately. This start should at least be able to have the team energized and rearing to go for a couple months. Sure, it isn’t likely the Indians keep this torrid start up but it isn’t about that right now.
The most important thing right now is having a baseball season to enjoy. And trust me, few Indians fans found any joy in the season since 2007.
We want some players to be able to cling to. We want a new era to begin immediately. The Central really is not that good.
Let’s go get that thing!
I called 62 and 100 for the season. The Indians only need to win 55 of the next 153 to beat my prediction. I don’t care about being wrong with a start lke we have. It makes the season much more fun to stay in contention. Wahoo.
I would think that if the Indians can stay hot until the end of April when they are expected to get Sizemore back, his presence in the lineup could give them a boost to contend at least through May and potentially to the all-star break. Especially if the Twins and Tigers continue to struggle.
Great to have WOA back. The Indians start has impressed me thus far. Almost as much as seeing WOA in a suit.
20-9… maybe we should be asking ourselves if the Indians can win 100 this year! I’m hoping theres a new WOA post pretty soon.
Hi, I was reading some of your articles and I was interested in some kind of baseball advertising for a client in your articles. Is this something that might interest you?
