Not much has changed since we last talked. The swelling in my face has gone up and come back down in the span that the Indians swept the A's and have won four straight.
And to be quite honest, I spent a large part of my three days recovering watching the Indians at night. I did a lot of day naps so passing the time was hard, until the Tribe came on. So the fact that they were winning was a good thing.
Who knows how painful that would have been.
I still have some chipmunk features and there's a little pain, but I'm getting back into the routine. I could have just waited til Monday and took the entire week, but that seems like an awfully long time to not say something about the way this team is playing. So I'm going a little throwback here and doing this a way I haven't really done in awhile. You all know the 9-2 win yesterday, blah blah sweep, 10 of the last 12 for wins, just a game and a half out of first place, yada yada.
There are just some astonishing things going on with this club right now and I'll try to get to all of them.
The Indians completed a four-game sweep of Oakland, and in today’s B-List Buff looks at the outstanding performance by Scott Kazmir, waves hello and good-bye to Scott Barnes, points out that Cody Allen’s first impression wasn’t as deep as his second first impression, chuckles gleefully at the Everybody Hits Offense, digs the longball right along with the chicks, and wonders if there is something he is missing with Matt Albers. Specifically, the point of him on the roster. On to Detroit!
You’ve been studying the franchise your whole life. You structure your schedule around their daily rhythms, nine months out of every year. 
The Cleveland Indians are just a little more than one month into the 2013 season and at times it feels as if we've seen this movie before.
