Cleveland Indians: 3rd ALCS berth
1902 1919 1920
“Last year was a surprise, but this year? This year’s just business as usual. As expected, the Tribe is headed back to the ALCS. And just like last year — yep, you guessed it — they swept the Orioles again! The Orioles may own the Royals, but the Indians? Oh, they own the Orioles. Rent free. Mortgage free. Keys under the mat.”
“That’s Cleveland’s third trip to the ALCS in their 20-year history… not exactly Yankees numbers, but hey, when you’re hot, you’re hot. Final score today from Baltimore: Indians 7, Orioles 6. Tribe wraps it up in three straight.”
“Jesus Satiago, remember the name — MVP of the series. The kid hit .417, cracked two homers, drove in seven runs, and probably ate a crab cake or two on the side. Orioles pitchers might see him in their nightmares.”
“Now, Cleveland’s sittin’ back with their feet up, waitin’ on Texas or New York. Rangers lead that series 2-0, so it might be a cowboy showdown. But either way, the Tribe is rolling, and folks, they’ve got the look of a team that knows how to win in October.”
“Final line once again — Cleveland 7 runs on 8 hits, no errors… Baltimore 6 runs on 6 hits, and 2 big errors. Orioles pack their bags, Tribe moves on, and somewhere in Cleveland the beer taps are running dry.”
“MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL… where sweeping the Orioles is starting to feel like an annual tradition.”
