Cleveland Indians

Filed under: Sport

The Indians are 29-1 this season in games in which they've scored six or more runs. Sometimes I wonder how they concoct the statistics, but this proves just how reliant on stats American sport is.

Did you read this? It makes a convincing argument for why US sports rely on statistics (and one I suspect you will approve) - i.e. the attempt to eliminate chance such that, at the end of the season, the winning team is the one with the demonstrably best mathematical record.

Like the Tribe like me? Read SWAP by Sam Moffie. It will help you make it until Spring Training.

Sorry, Joe. I'm not an Indians fan. Like the Mets and the Red Sox.

Boo, hiss, I hear you say...
