That series in Colorado seemed to kill some of the momentum they were starting to gain. But if they did, they have two things the Indians - a closer like Rivera and player who have been there before in the playoffs. But I obviously, I am not big on the Tribe.

The Indians have a much scarier team to me, because they can actually pitch, and they have enough depth on their starting staff to have good stuff going into the playoffs.

None of his transgressions had anything to do with him as a player. He belongs in - despite himself. But he never will get in. Even if they opened up the ballot for him, at least half the writers wouldn't vote for him.
