That is also how Chicago won the Central when theoretically at the time Cleveland could have tied Chisux's record.
It really doesn't matter if Boston clinches the East or not.... IF they are as great as their fans believe them to be they can handle being the WC.
Unfortunately, my INDIANS had their fate in their own hands and went up all weekend playing like inexperienced bush leaguers, swatting at the ball trying to get big hits. They somehow forgot what got them into their position, a position no one expected them to be in. Perhaps the pressure got to them, perhaps they played above their heads and it caught up or perhaps this is just a very young team that will learn what they did wrong this year and next year come out start stronger and kick ass and make the playoffs.
My guess is the latter. Win or lose today, get the one game playoff vs. Boston or go home for the winter, it's been one Hell of a great season and they have nothing to be ashamed of, they will still have a top 5 in all baseball record, they competed for something no one believed they even had a shot at, and they were exciting, heartbreaking and edge of your seat dramatic...... That is what sports is all about and this year no one did it better then the CLEVELAND INDIANS.
