Weekend sweep

The Cleveland Indians completed a three game sweep of the Oakland A's this afternoon. Normally, a simple three game winning streak would not be cause for celebration. However, it is almost June and this is the first sweep they have won this season. Having spotted the White Sox and Twins a sizeable lead in the standing the Tribe need to consistently wins series in order to get back in the pennant race.

Regarding liberal media bias, Ranting Right Wing Howler notices two recent articles of misbehaving "public servants." Usually media bias is in what they omit or in how they assign adjectives. Watch how conservatives are labeled either arch conservative or extreme and then ask yourself when you ever saw Ted Kennedy referred to with the correct adjective attached?
Maybe this explains the conspiracy theories.
Prior to last night, the Yankees had run off 16 wins in their last 18 games. Does that mean they are good to go? No. Their problem before this streak was team age specifically the starting pitching. Well, last night their pitching got lit up for 17 runs and tonight they are into the bullpen again after 3 innings. No one is getting younger in the Bronx.
