Snow days
I'm beginning to wonder if the Indians will ever play again. This, of course, gives the Indians a built-in excuse should they start up flat in the coming days.
And it won't be easy to bounce back to what has amounted to an all-star break.
But the Indians can't afford a slow start in this division. In past years, we have seen what starting slow has meant to the rest of the season.
I could go off on the scheduling, but honestly, I don't ever remember a first week of the season like this one. In the first week, the Indians have had a game canceled, but never a line of them like this. What I do blame baseball for is scheduling the Mariners in the first week.
Thanks to the unbalanced schedule (which I also have a problem with), the Indians and Seattle were set to meet only once in Cleveland this season. So it forces immediate doubleheaders. And when those get snowed out, you have a real problem.
