Tito's Men Sweep Tigers

I get to see a lot of the Cleveland Indians in spring training. They have an number of ex-Red Sox players -- Justin Masterson, Mike Aviles, David Murphy, Rich Hill. And of course they have Terry Francona as manager. The Indians made it to the wild card game last year, but got beat by the Rays. The club's attitude in 2014 was summed up on a t-shirt brought to camp by Nick Swisher that read "unfinished business." Cleveland is looking to push further into the playoffs in 2014, but they have had a similar start to the Red Sox - very slow. One down factor in Cleveland's run of 2013 was their inability to beat the Detroit Tigers. I think they were 4-15 against the Motown Men & division rival. Well, this week the Indians came to life & swept the Detroit Tigers in Cleveland after the Tigers had just swept Boston. Maybe the Indians are coming to life. Wish we could say the same.
