I feel pretty much the same way, but there's just a little more incentive there with the Tribe. I don't have any personal attachment to any team in the AL Central, but the Indians at least remind me a little of the Cubs, and having a few familiar old faces on their roster doesn't hurt either.
Anyway, I'll stop here because this isn't worth the discussion.

The Indians have become my second-favorite team over the years, especially after they nearly caught the Sox in 2005. Then I moved to Columbus, and I bought a hat (the cursive "I"--fuck Chief Wahoo). Now Cleveland's AAA club has moved to Columbus and Woody and DeRosa are members of the Tribe. It's all going according to plan . . .

Not really, I bet it'll take him around 2 full years to hit 30 HRs.

I will also be rooting for them. The Indians already made geographic sense to be my "AL Team," and now they will be.

I really hope Harden's just not letting it loose yet, because he looked a lot like the Harden we had in September and October. He was 89-93, gave up 5 runs in 4 2/3, and 3 homers.
Bradley's a machine. He was 4 for 4 today with a walk, batting over .500.
Best news of the day by far was Marmol. He looked amazing in his inning of work. Len called it the best inning they've seen pitched by anybody this spring, and kept talking about it the next inning, saying "Wow, that even got me fired up." Throwing gas and easily the best slider he's had this spring.
Shark looked good today. Brenly said his stuff's looking better each time out.
Miles had a few more hits, including a 2-run BOMB. I've seen him hit a few homers, but never that far.
Fuk Alf'd one in CF, flat out dropping a flyball with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th. 2 Royals runs scored. Brenly then went on a rant blaming it on the WBC and Fuk's lack of work of communication with the outfielders. Reed was screaming "I got it!" and gave way to Fuk at the last second, who just dropped it.
In the 9th they faced Joakim Soria who is one of the best closers in baseball(42 of 45 last year) and hadn't allowed a run this spring. Fuk made up for his error with a 2-run homer, good to see. Bradley then scorched a double into left-center with 2 outs. Lou did something we'll likely see a lot this year then, taking Bradley out for Gathright to run. Minor leaguer Kyle Reynolds is up with a 1-2 count, rips a double down the right field line to tie it at 8-8. Played one more, that was the game.

I'm right there with you on all accounts. One thing that I overheard though during the broadcast, and maybe someone else can confirm this, is that it appeared that Harden was throwing mostly changeups as the game went on, probably just working on the pitch most of today's game. That might explain why he was hit so hard.

I agree with Clapp, I think Gathwright is going to run a lot for Bradley. Kinda like in school where one kid hit and another took of running the bases for him. If it's later than the 7th inning, that's what we'll see.

I agree for the most part. I don't know that I'd say Shark looked "good", maybe "better". Guzman looked good in his first inning, then got into a bit of trouble with a couple weak singles. Waddell got one out and then Shark came in and gave up a rope before that one Fuk dropped. He looked better when he came out to start the next inning. I think he absolutely needs to start in AAA though.
I also think we'll see Waddell replacing Cotts before the all star break.

Wow. ST numbers aren't a big deal, but it's still a good way to make a first impression.
And he's just as fired up all the time as we'd hoped.

I doubt it, but I think between CF and RF, he'll get 120+ starts.
