I fear no one!!!!!!!!!

We should fear ourselves. The only way we blow this and dont make the playoffs is not because of the other teams. It would be because we fell apart.

I voted Minnesota. They have the talent and experience. Cleveland has the talent, but may be a bit too young right now.

Minnesota, because Back to Back to Back AL Central titles. They know how to win.

Hello Nail, my name is Hammer and I'm going to hit you on the head.

Injuries.

God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Confucious, Zoroaster, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesh, etc.

Minnesota. This may just be a hot streak for Cleveland. I don't think they will be consistent enough to hold on all season.

Fear itselt.

I don't get this. People act like all of Cleveland's players are in their early 20's. The average age of their team is 28/29. They're not too young.

 

Anyway, I fear us choking.

How about none of the above? The only thing we have to do is handle our business and those guys wont be able to do s***. If you want to worry about anything worry about going on a protracted losing streak, but the odds of that are pretty slim.

Cleveland is a team of streaks... Their streak will run out.. Minnesota is always a proven threat, but not this year.. SOX WIN

The White Sox were the prime example of a team of streaks for the last 2 years. Hitting gets hot, then hitting gets cold. This is why Ozzie kept saying that Speed doesn't go into slumps. They face 2 good pitchers in a row and suddenly everyone's pressing because they've only scored a couple runs, and then bam, losing streak. We face a couple of good pitchers and we take 1 out of 2 because we outpitch them, bunt a couple people over, and get some clutch hits.

 

The Indians have that streaky mantle this year. I think the Yankees are an even better example too.

DId anyone else say who they thought would go?

If they did, I missed it. The one guy said SD would beat out STL in the playoffs cause the Padres won 3 of 4 this season.

Something tells me that if S.D. had gone to Stl last week, those numbers would have been reversed.

 

At some level, it's all about streaks.
