Early this season, live on radio and television, I made the not-so-profound statement:
“The Cleveland Indians stink.”
Then, throughout much of the first half of the season, I was forced to eat crow for underestimating the Tribe.
Manny Acta, if the season ended today, should be American League Manager of the Year. The Indians’ bullpen has been among the best in baseball.
The amazing part about it, the Indians moved into the All-Star break a half-game behind the Tigers in the American League Central with Grady Sizemore and, particularly, Shin-Soo Choo performing far below expectations.
I give the Tribe credit.
They don’t stink.
