1...2...3..=4

3 game sweep = 4 game win streak!!
What a great weekend in Cleveland Sports. The Cav's showed in the first game that they are clearly the better team and should not have ANY problems with the Bulls and the Indians surprised the White Sox in game of the series. I like what @ozzieguillen had to say on his Twitter. "Thanks god the bears not playing the browns they might get their but kick too"

As I stated in my preview of this series, I really liked our matchups in game two and three of the series. But WOW was I really shocked to see how well Mitch Talbot pitched in his game one start. I can easily sum up this review : AMAZING STARTING PITCHING! and Shin Soo Choo. Talbot induced 17 ground ball outs, Westbrook 11 and Carmona's sinker was working very well and he was hitting the outside part of the plate. Choo started the season a 2-18 and since then has been on a tear, raising his batting average from .111 with 0 RBI's to .324 14 RBI's.

What shocked me was how the Indians who many people think are going to be dead last in the division were able to win against arguably one of the top pitching lineups in all of baseball. The Indians were able to get the W against, Mark Buerhle, Jake Peavy, and Gavin Floyd. What really helped the Tribe was the distance that their starting pitching was able to go.

The Tribe pack their bags and head of the land of a 10.000 lakes to take on the Twins in their new stadium (Target Field). We can look at this series as a blessing or a curse. Right now the Tribe are playing a lot better then the start of the season and have some momentum building with this young team. The only thing that worries me is our pitching matchups in this series. In game one, the projected match up will be Justin Masterson (CLE) vs Kevin Slowey (MIN). This really is the only match up i like in this series. But the Twins so far are 9-3 and without a doubt in my mind the top team in the Central. In game two David Huff (CLE) duels with Franciso Liriano (MIN) in what could potentially be a fun game to watch. Huff looked masterfully in his last start and Liriano completly dominated the Red Sox, which is not something you hear very often. Game Three is Mitch Talbot (CLE) vs. Scott Baker (MIN). After looking at the match-ups I dont see the Indians having a good first visit to the Twins new ballpark.

Kevin’s fearless prediction: Tribe 1-2 , and this depends on Masterson getting that first game victory. If they dont , look for the Indians to get swept on the road in this series.

My heart always says Cleveland sweeps..
