It only took the longest winning streak to close the season in Cleveland's history to make the playoffs --- but that's just what they've done.
Pardon me while I wear a very pleased smile over the next few days. On Wednesday, the Indians host the winner of a tie-breaker Monday between Tampa Bay and Texas.
The winner of that game gets to play Boston in the divisional playoffs. The Red Sox merely put up the best record in the American League.
But I'll only fret about that if the Indians win Wednesday. Considering the Tribe lost at least 93 games in 3 of the past 4 seasons, to win 92 this year and make the playoffs is quite an accomplishment. And to do it with their top pitcher on the disabled list and their closer having a late-season meltdown is remarkable indeed.
So I'm going to wear my Chief Wahoo tie to work this week and smile.
