Changing things up!

Hello All!
I am changing things up a bit. Instead of just talking about one sport I am going to write about all three Cleveland teams. Going to change the format a little bit. I'll write big stories on my main page and smaller ones about each team under their own tab. I hope you all enjoy!

Happy October

Happy October Everyone! We have reached the post season. The Indians have proved themselves to be the best of the American League. After defeating the Boston Red Sox in 4-0 games in the ALCS the Indians went on to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 in the ALDS, punching their ticket to the World Series for the first time since 1997. They will be taking on the Chicago Cubs who have not seen the World Series since 1945. Both teams are looking to end decades with out a World Series.

Sorry!

I know it has been so long since I have posted. Now that we have hit post season I will post updates from each game! Happy October!

Update

Sorry I have not posted in a while. I've been busy on vacation. I plan to get back on track with my postings. My first few post back will be about the men getting inducted into the Indians Hall of Fame at the end of this month. Currently, the Indians are currently in 1st place in the AL Central division with a 4.5 game lead over second place Detroit. Also with the trade deadline approaching we shall see what the Indians do.
