FROM THE ARE YOU KIDDING ME FILE......
Andrew Marchand ESPN Senior Writer
NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees could beat the Cleveland Indians in the playoffs. The past few days, including Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, Yankees manager Joe Girardi revealed the method he will attempt to use, if given the chance, to take out Cleveland.
It might be viewed as a new line of thinking, but really, it dates back at least to the start of the last Yankees’ dynasty. The Indians just borrowed the formula last fall, with an assist from Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
Cashman turned the Indians into the most fearsome team in the American League when he traded lights-out reliever Andrew Miller for a haul of young prospects 14 months ago. It worked out for the Indians, who deployed Miller as if he were a lefty version of the mid-1990s Mariano Rivera. The Indians used Miller in multiple innings per game as a nearly unstoppable bullpen weapon and fell just short of a World Series title.
It's now a year later, and in the next month, the Yankees could be the team that ruins the Tribe's dream season by using the old Rivera formula. True, it's 21 straight wins and counting for Cleveland -- an American League record -- but once October begins, everyone is 0-0.
The Yankees will make the playoffs, most likely as a wild-card team. If they take care of the Minnesota Twins next week in the Bronx, the Yanks will likely make it inevitable that they'll have home-field advantage in the wild-card game........CONTINUED IN LINK........

I think Girardi needs to worry about winning either his division or the WC....and/or winning the WC game....before he worries about the Indians. Besides...the Tribe has not clinched home field. If they won the WC game they could still be playing the Astros.
-
The Indians are reportedly interested in resigning Carlos Santana, who is a free agent after this season.

AMAZING!!
Sorry I don't check this board too often mjp, but I've been keeping up with the team every day even since before the streak. Looks like the Tribe will be in Houston the week after the Browns are (assuming we both make it to the ALCS).
By the way, you guys are lucky we didn't blow the streak by how much you posted about it! I refused to talk about it until the day we broke it.

It wouldn't be the week after...it would be the DAY after.....assuming both the Tribe and the Astros made it that far. And you may have just blown it by talking about it!!!! Both teams have to win to get there.
But...making certain assumptions, those being that the Indians take the #1 seed and the Astros take the #2 seed....then you have the following:
The #1 AL seed would play the Wildcard winner on the following dates: Oct 5/6/8/9/11 (if the series went all 5 games)
Then....The #1 seed (assume Indians) and the #2 seed (assume Astros) would play the following dates:
10/13 in Cleveland, 10/14 in Cleveland, 10/16 in Houston, 10/17 in Houston, 10/18 in Houston, 10/20 and 10/21 in Cleveland.

What an amazing run!

I'm just soaking it all in a once in a 100 year accomplishment by our Cleveland Indians, well done. W22.

Thank God for the Tribe! Another win today! Go Tribe!

But, the Astros don't want to go away. They are still just a game and a half behind the Tribe for best AL record. And the Dodgers are now back on track and have a substantial lead for best overall record.

Eh, the Indians didn't have home field for the '48 playoff game or World Series either...

And your new avatar makes me think: "Your Goddamn right" every time I see it now...

OCTOBER 1 vs CWS.....THE LAST GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON! -

They still only have that game and a half on Houston...who is obviously keeping up some pace.
Also, in the wildcard races....in the AL, technically, only two teams have been mathematically eliminated: White Sox and Tigers. While in the NL 7 teams have been eliminated.
The best race in Baseball may in fact be for the final WC spot in the NL. Colorado holds a 1 game lead on Milwaukee.
And only the AL East and the NL Central division title races are not settled......between the Yankees and Red Sox, and Cubs and Brewers.
