Current event

A current event I can use in an impromptu speech is the Cleveland Indians post season run. At first when you saw the Indians this season you just saw a mediocre, just above .500 winning percentage team. But once the Indians saw their chance of making the October run, they took advantage. The Indians began to win against teams that shut them out in the beginning of the season. Their change of pace got them to the fall run for the World Series. Now the Indians are 6-0, sweeping Ortiz and the Red Sox, and becoming only one win away from making the World Series after defeating the Blue Jays last night. I hope to see the Indians and the Chicago Cubs make the World Series because it's just two teams no one thought would make it this far.
