I'll second what Rusty has said, awesome season by the Tribe. They made some moves this past off-season and it surely appeared to me they were making a serious shot at true contention.

Kudos to everyone from the front office, to Francona and his staff, to the team and all the fans.

Now to just go out and win another series or 3. But you can't dance if you don't make it to the floor, and we have managed that first hurdle.

I don't think enough fans give enough credit to a good manager like a Terry Francona. The proof was in the puddin' this year. I think Francona was responsible for than a hand full of decisions. The way he's worked the bullpen and his bench was nothing short of magical.

Farrell's done a nice job in Boston, but Francona's worked magic in Cleveland. Francona has to be the front runner for MOY in 2013.
