A Question Answered With A Question

KJD asked a question and the only answer I can give is with a question. The Indians had a great season going 87-75 for the second straight year. They had their problems at the beginning of the year and most of it had to deal with the lineup. Losing three of the best pitchers on staff for most of the season didn't help. However I got it all straightened out about the Transaction Deadline and went 38-17 from that point on and maybe should have won a couple more. But regardless of that, there were other factors at play also. Of the playoff teams, the Indians had a winning record against the Brewers, Pirates and Reds, Cubs and Beans also if you want to throw them in. I split with the Czars. The teams I lost to were the Royals, Ball Hogs and Astros and for the most part badly. So the question is: What is it about the Indians that allows them to beat up the deadly North and have trouble elsewhere? If you can answer that question, then you might be able to beat the Brewers.
