Half of baseball is 90% mental!

When you have a limited amount of time to get your point across, you have have to choose carefully how to summarize a whole lot in short order. Such has been my blog lately especially today.

Half of baseball is 90% mental...Yogi Berra

The mental approach from the Tribe early on and later on by the Royals was terrible, yet when the mental errors are in your favor, it helps. Still early on I was not happy seeing the Indians fall down 4-0 and basically throwing away a golden opportunity to improve the team.

Still seeing the Royals return the favor was a welcome relief. The mental approach returned to the Tribe after their offense was uplifted by the Royals. What I envisioned as a big, big mess was turned into a big blast thanks to Mark DeRosa's grand slam.

I return to the park today excited that this streak can continue with this year's best pitcher on the team in Carl Pavano. He has been giving us ace-like outings and I hope this continues.

Keep the mental edge going and work hard to continue what you have started, Tribe! Keep the winning going!
