Six Games Left for the Tribe

After looking at the standings, it is time to just focus on winning. The Indians can't really get bogged down at this point in trying to figure out what the rest of the league needs to do to help them out.

Trying to figure out scenarios with Boston and NYY being the primary competition for the wild card and playing against each other three times to finish the season combined with the White Sox and Indians playing the last three games of the season, it will make your head explode. Not to mention the fact that weather can always be a factor. Boston, for example had a rainout this evening. You can't tell me that it would be as easy for them to win two games in a double-header as opposed to separate nights.

So, the Indians have four games against the Devil Rays and then three against the White Sox. All they can do is try to keep winning.

I know it sounds really silly to say that, but this is the time for that tunnel-vision-like focus that allows teams to achieve. One inning at a time. Don't even glance at that scoreboard in left field. It will only distract the team from the things that they can control.
