Guillen argued that the ball had dropped foul. This most recent &#8220;rant&#8221; is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite being atop the AL Central for most of the 2011 campaign the Cleveland Indians may have been showing their true colors over the past three weeks. After a blistering April (18–8) and a decent May (14–12) the Tribe rolled into June with their chests out as they sported a 12-games-over-.500 record and a solid five [...]]]></description>

That reality is reflected in team blogs, in newspaper reports &#8212; and in the young phenom&#8217;s own judgment.
