Yes, despite what Eck may think, I believe that Cleveland is for real. It takes a good team to mount a comeback against a goliath like the Red Sox & the Indians did just that with 2 runs in the 8th to earn a comeback 3-2 win. Success breads confidence & the Indians are a confident & posed team right now. The Sox are 0-4 this year in Ohio.
The final 2 games will be a test of the Sox metal to see if they can win this short series with 2 W's in a row. Lester & Beckett give us a chance to do so.
Daniel Bard has been up & down lately. If Bard can't perform on a more consistent basis, it will really create havoc in the bullpen for Terry Francona. Bobby Jenks is scheduled to join the team in Detroit which should be a lift to Bard & Pap.
I'm predicting a 4-3 road trip. So far we are 0-1. Good news - both the Rays & Yankees lost on Monday, so we lost no ground.

Daniel Bard is channeling his inner Manny DelMeatball. I am not ready to give up on him yet, but there is only so much a man can take!
