Indians still on top...

In a previous post, dated May 1, I discussed the fact that the Cleveland Indians and the Colorado Rockies were leading the way in their respective major league divisions, emphasizing what a World Series it would be if those two teams made it all the way to October.

Since then, the Rockies have dropped out of first place in the National League West, but the Indians are still rolling along in the American League with 25 wins and 13 losses -- a major-league best .658 won-loss percentage.

In the NL standings, it's the Philadelphia Phillies sitting atop the leaderboard with a 25-15 mark, just 33 percentage points behind the Indians for the best record in baseball. I expected the Phillies to do well this year, but the Indians, what's up with them?

Cleveland is 15-4 at home so far this season! But, it is a long way to October. We are barely a quarter of the way through the 2011 season, so let's check back on those surprising Indians in mid June and see if they're still sitting on top of the mountain.
