2015 Series #5 -|- Indians @ White Sox -|- April 20th, 21st, and 22nd.

Offensive explosion tonight. I could get used to this.

Bauer is dealing.

4-7 is not the start we wanted to see, but it's hard not to believe this team will be fighting for a wildcard with the type of starting pitching talent we're seeing.

Tigers are 11-2. Wildcard is best we can hope for, in all likelihood. Even that will be extremely tough.

Agreed, it's going to be a tough road but we're 12 games into the season. Lots can happen. The larger point is that some 85-90 win seasons are built on smoke and mirrors and hard to get excited by. In this case, when you're building the foundations of topline pitching staff that is locked up for 4-6 years together, you can at least remain optimistic and positive about where things are headed, even if this is not the year.

Yes, lots can happen. I agree, it's early. But when a team starts 11-2, they're already more than 1/9th of their way to the amount of wins it'll take to win this division probably...two weeks into the season. It's very, very likely they will run away with it. I'm just hoping the Indians can make it interesting down the stretch.

I suppose actually beating Detroit head to head a few times can level out that nice lead they have real fast, but that's going to be hard.

Victor Martinez is also falling down after every third swing, Verlander is on the DL and Anibal Sanchez has given up more homers than he did last year.

Things get better, things fall apart. Being 1/9th of the way there is still a miniscule fraction that means nothing right now.

Bauer working on a 3/3 start of season, i can dig that!

In my original post I said fighting for a wildcard so I definitely understand how difficult it will be to keep pace with whoever sits a top the central(Detroit or KC). For all we know, both wild card winners could come from the Central

I forgot about all of that stuff. They're 11-2 with all that crap going on. Wow. Deadly team.
