Tribe Shocks Yankees, 12-3, ALDS Game 1

With Johnny Damon's homerun at the beginning of the game, no one could have predicted the final outcome of last nights game. To every Cleveland fans' jubilation, the Tribe beat the Yankees fair and square 12-3.

This was the perfect beginning to an exciting series. Who cares about past statistics, no one can deny that the Indians are indeed hot. Kenny Lofton is being called the "savior," but its the whole team effort that makes the Indians win. Its great having Kenny Lofton back, but its the teamwork that counts. Teamwork is important in all aspects of life. Okay, don't get me started... I'm not going to lecture you like I lecture my kids.

The noise at Jacobs field could be heard all the way to the Flats last night, there are no better fans than Cleveland fans. We're long overdue for a World Series appearance..... I'm confident that 2007 will be a year we remember in history.

So, where you gonna be at 5:00 p.m. tonight, I know where I'll be.

ALDS - Yankees vs. Indians

The Indians will face the Yankees in the ALDS playoffs which begin on October 4th in Cleveland. Cleveland has lost the last six with the Yankees but this will not stop their optimism.

Eric Wedge, team manager, feels the Tribe is an improved team ready to face the Yankees in the playoffs. Maybe facing a tough team like the Yankees will really get the team psyched up for the Playoff Series.

My son claims that the Yankees would bring a sell out crowd in Cleveland even for an exhibition game. No doubt, this will be an exciting, emotional series. Hear that the Yankees have been resting Roger Clemens for the series, but the Tribe wins on team work not on overpaid players that the Yankees "buy" to be on their team.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Go Tribe........ from a 50 year Cleveland fan!!
