I believe that it all started with the Cavaliers amazing playoff run, which ended in the NBA finals this past summer! Cleveland sports seem to finally all be on track (knock on wood)! The Indians are back in the playoffs taking on those pesky New York Yankees in the first round...Even though they have to take on the evil empire most people, myself included, feel that they can make a real run at the championship!
However, lets not discount the Browns latest victory over the Baltimore Ravens! If they keep playing that way at home then we have a real shot at a 500 season! Which for the Browns, based on the previous seasons, would be about as exciting as the Cavs making the NBA finals! It would also offer just enough hope for all the season ticket holders to go out and buy season tickets again for next year, with prayers that they too could be witness to another Cleveland sports team rising to greatness!
Soon it will be time for Lebron and the Cavs to lace up the sneakers and re-take the hardwood! Although they haven't made as many moves in the off season as some of the other teams in the league, i.e. Boston and Houston, look for them to none the less again be electrifying offensively and stifling defensively! I am sure it will be another great season!
Now back to them Engines! The tag line that seems to be defining our early clinch of the American League Central Division is, "Tribe Time Now". I couldn't agree more! It is Tribe Time Now! The Indians are stacked with young talent with a bit a veteran seasoning to hopefully carry us through! Not to mention the arms of C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona! Both of which are in contention to win the American League Cy Young Award! Tribe Time Now!
Which brings me to my next point...I know that the last time we all remember the Tribe being a powerhouse in the American League was the mid to late 90's, but this is Tribe Time Now! So, stop saying this is just like the 90's! Its not! Not at all! This team is extremely talented and some would argue even more balanced than our teams of the 90's, none the less it is our team now! Support them now win or lose, hopefully win!

James you are my hero, Terry Pluto would be jealous. Have you ever thought of a career in journalism. This is an amazing feat for Cleveland as a city, and our sports team. To talk about he Cavs well LeBron, nuff said. To talk about the Browns even Im impressed and Im a pessimest. Tribe Time Now! What a great tagline, and your right its not like the 90's we actually have pitching this time. So what if the evil empire swept us twice. Its all about momentum. Tribe Time Now! Sabathia and Carmona are just above the Greek Gods. Sizemore, Garko, Hafner, Martinez are all great players. However, there is one thing reminiscent of the 90's we once again have Kenny Lofton. If the Indians win the series Im streaking.
