2020 CREATOR WRAP: FAVORITE WORKS

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works.

Thank you soooo much Nuria @taytawan for tagging me 🥺💖and ignore how late this is oops

Okay so 2020 is the year that I returned to “the internet” and I’m grateful cause otherwise I wouldn’t get to know all of you lovely people.Thank you for existing and making me feel like I belong somewhere 💖💖 So, along with my works I'm also gonna mention some of my favorite people and their works here and If you’ve ever made me smile you’re here and I love you <3

@snugglesweaters Terryyyyyyy. My closest friend here 🥺 I’ve never told you this but if it wasn’t for you,I doubt I would’ve lasted this long here. It's nice knowing someone as clueless and a clown like me. I can talk to you about anything and I feel like we have similar views on stuffs.I love making random references to fics and knowing that you’ll get it cause we kind of read the same fics. I love this tine glitter fic of yours (yes tine glitter fic), obviously this cause (vampire) bright in a beanie AND the coffee shop au hc that only I know about hehe.

Omg this is so long. If you're still here, here are some of the works that I'm proud of. 1)This itsay set. This was my first time doing big gifs and although this is loooong I like how this turned out, specially the colouring. 2) This cause do I do anything except 2g shitposting? No <3 I had this idea even before s2g aired but decided to wait so that I have more shots from s2g and I'm glad I did cause Earn basically got confirmed as a wlw so (Also special thanks to Terry cause the Man and Air hc were hers,her phd brain ikr) 3)This cause dcjsdjidi SARAWATINE SOULMATES. I love how the colouring turned out despite the fact that ps crashed halfway and I lost the gifs i spent 2 hours colouring. I tried to do this with scenes from the series only but couldn't cause wHen YoU aRe wItH yOuR cAmeRA SHOW US goddammit. If this was ao3 this would've been tagged as Tine teepakorn loves Sarawat guntithanon xD 4) Still2gether textposts obviously. I KNOW that 90% people follow me for my 2g shitposting and I got an ask once saying how were they so accurate and the reason for that is I spent HOURS on these. Atfirst it took a long time but after a while I got the hang of it. It was fun (though sometimes tiring) to make these after each ep aired. I'm proud of it and the fact that I managed to do 13 parts? gsjsdjsj 5) Still2gether subs that looks fake but aren't. shutup this was my first time giffing but it was funnnnn looking for the (canon) crack parts after every ep aired.

Also,thank you to all the lovely people who likes and reblogs my posts, I do see you and I love you all <33

Tagging: If you’re here then consider yourself tagged if you wanna do this or to anyone who sees this on the dash

Glee - S1 E1 (Pilot)

Is it a smart idea to rewatch glee again? No.

Am I going to do it anyway? You bet your sweet bippy I am!

Am I going to liveblog my garbage monkey brain thoughts along the way even though nobody asked for it? Hell yeah.

Here goes!

Wow. The first frame of this entire show is literally of a woman who looks like she’s about 10 years above the natural lifespan of a Cheerio. Then again, I’m sure Sue’s not above holding back her best recruits for multiple years because Ohio high schools are apparently just Like That™

I also never notice this opening song was a remix of Keep Me Hangin On, wow. That’s actually kind of interesting foreshadowing of sorts, like, kind of smart. I’m glad I’m watching the part of Glee that was kind of smart.

This scene also doesn’t feature any of the Unholy Trinity as far as I can see. Are they a JV squad? Am I putting too much thought into this?

Sign #1 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: Really, my guy? Driving around with your muffler dragging on the ground so bad it’s making sparks? That’s not very Road Safety of you. Fuck off.

Sign #2 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: Wow, there’s going to be a lot of these, huh? Anyway, anybody with working eyes would clearly see how scared Kurt is right now. “Making some new friends Kurt?” Fuck off.

KURT. FIRST SIGHTING OF THE BOY. What a delight. But also, not a delight, because he’s being bullied and he deserves better. Look at his outfit. Iconic from day fucking one.

Finn, you’re a himbo. What’re you doing with these assholes?

Puck’s first line in the whole series is “It’s hammer time!” What a fucking dork? Who made this boy popular.

DO MORE THAN TAKE HIS COAT, FINN. LET HIM GOOOOO!!!

I paused while they were tossing Kurt in the dumpster and, wow, got the most hilarious frame where the guy who isn’t Puck is getting a meticulously polished boot to the face. Netflix let me take screenshots, you coward.

The first shot of Quinn... My wlw bones are shaking.

Why would they use that photo for Lillian Adler...? WHO WAS BORN IN 1937, MIGHT I ADD. THAT’S NOT A REAL YEAR.

It’s weird to see Mr Schue actually speaking competent Spanish. Why did they veto that later? The ONE likeable thing about him was his competence as a school teacher, and they really threw it out the window huh?

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE MEMBERS OF SANDY RYERSON’S GLEE CLUB??? This kid seems to really like singing. Also, welcome to the beginning of Ryerson being annoying as all hell.

Oh my gosh, the background choir stuff. This show really had style back in the day!!!

R A C H E L B E R R Y Y O U R M A K E U P ! ! !

Ken Tanaka walked so incels could run.

Jane Lynch you beauty. You absolutely impeccable beauty.

“Since when are cheerleaders performers?” Uh... Emma...? I get that Sue’s going ham on her budget but, like, be nice to the students? They perform their butts off!

Sue really just BRAGGED about having an iPhone. I was 9 when this came out. Why do I feel old...

Sign #3 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: He hears his coworker, presumably of several years, just got fired and doesn’t even ask why. He just jumps on the glee club like a frog on hot asphalt.

He really wants to Make The Glee Club Great Again, huh?

MySpace was really a thing, huh? And why does this grown-ass male teacher know so much about the students having them?

I know nothing about actual American schools, but I do know that they sure as shit don’t work like this. Why does a club have to win EVERY competition to be considered an asset?

Mr Shoe really lying awake at night half-naked next to his wife thinking about the glee club already? Yeah sounds about right. Also, of course you’d think up Nude Erections for a name, you asshole. Put some clothes on.

R E S P E C T MERCEDES YES!!!

Brad the piano player was really here from day ONE... Icon.

Cellophane, Mr Cellophane... Yes Kurt bby you killed it.

Chris Colfer looks so YOUNG here!!!

The hair fix... I C O N I C !

Tina really wrote her stutter down, huh? And nobody ever saw through it? Amazing.

The goth Tina look, too... Perfect... Never change...

Say what you want about Rachel Berry being generally insufferable, but I really fucking feel it when she sings On My Own. The monologue kind of kills The Drama of it, but they really solidly established her character by layering them. She really is a gold star right now.

The first-ever on-screen slushie!

The way she walks down that hall. My God you can just see how terrible she is to be around.

Never forget Rachel staring at photos of her with two men who turned out to not be her dads. Who are they? What are their stories? We’ll never know.

God, I love this stupid scene of Quinn, Santana, and a bunch of Cheerios cartoonishly typing hate comments on Rachel’s MySpace video and laughing like knock-off Disney villains.

I like watching season 1 Artie because season 1 Artie was a good character. Mostly. And he KILLED Sit Down, You’re Rocking The Boat. Rachel wasn’t asking for a male lead who could keep up with her vocally, she was being straight up ableist and that’s a fact. I love Cory, but Kevin McHale was always a better singer.

Mercedes picking up and spinning Rachel for this little routine is something I never really appreciated before, it’s cute even though they don’t like each other yet!

I really don’t get why Rachel says they suck. Yeah, sure, she’s gunning for a solo, but the vocals were solid there. The choreo was just a little janky, possibly because it’s their first EVER rehearsal?

“There is NOTHING ironic about show choir!” Incredible.

How long did it take Mr Shoe to find Rachel out on the bleachers? Did he search the whole school first?

ARTIE! CAN! KEEP! UP! WITH! YOU! VOCALLY!

I never understood Rachel quitting so soon. How long was she in the old glee club for? Surely they were never popular either?

Ah, the first “My hands are tied” for the series. Mr Figgins is a garbage principal.

Not going to advise the principal against referring to Artie as a cripple, William Shoestir? Alright.

How did the Schuester marriage last as long as it has? Do Will and Terri’s insufferable personalities just cancel one another out?

Sandy Ryerson really just openly brags about cheating the system for medical marijuana and dealing it?

Matt Morrison 100% has lip fillers. Nobody’s smile curls like that naturally.

“Terri and I are trying to get pregnant” What a weird way to phrase it. What is it, a race? Who’s going to get knocked up first!

A FIFTH OF BEETHOVEN, HOW I’VE MISSED YOU... The sound design of this show at this point is just... *Chef hand kiss*

“What you’re doing right now is called blurring the lines” Oh just wait until season 4, Sue... Just you wait.

WHY is Mr Schuester so ridiculously sweaty? I didn’t need to think about that?

EVERYONE on the football team is 30.

William Schuester you can’t just watCH TEENAGE STUDENTS SING IN THE SHOWER YOU ARE A TEACHER WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR LICENSE?!

Hearing Cory sing this always makes me emotional. What a talent!

Sign #4 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: I don’t think I need to say why using the weed to blackmail Finn is a shitty thing to do, do I?

“I’ll pee in a cup! ...I’ll pee...” I love Cory’s delivery.

PRIORITY #1: HELP THE KIDS Oh season 1... I love you so.

Mr Schue you WISH you were anything like Finn Hudson. You never will be.

Ah... Finn’s first monologue. He’s such a sweetheart. AND SO IS CAROLE. Carole is a queen I will stan forever. YOU THROW THAT MILK BB!!!

All Finn wants to do is make his mom proud. What a sweetheart. Mr Schue you do NOT deserve him.

These POV shots really enhance things, why the fuck did they stop using them?

Subtly having Kurt look at Finn in the same shot as Rachel was a nice touch indeed!

RACHEL WAS REALLY DOWN WITH ROLLING ARTIE RIGHT OFF THE STAGE HUH?

Terri’s a straight up hoarder, huh? Like a raccoon but instead of collecting edible garbage, it’s monogrammed garbage.

Surely you can’t just... BECOME an accountant, right? You need some serious qualifications for that right?

Also say what you want about how insufferable Terri is but her actress is ridiculously talented and absolutely steals every scene she’s in.

Now the background choir is doing Soul Bossa Nova and I am L I V I N G why didn’t they keep that motif!!! It was so ICONIC!

I don’t need my prostate removed. RIP Carole Hudson but I’m different :/

NO MEANS NO, KEN! TAKE THE L AND MOVE ON! Way to take out the fact that a girl won’t date you on everybody else around you! Toxic bastard. The absolute stench of melodrama on this bastard is noxious.

I was going to ask why Rachel didn’t know about Finn and Quinn if they’d already been together for 4 months, but then I remembered gossiping requires friends...

“Terri rides me. Hard. And I’ve always appreciated it!” Why don’t we talk about how this line sounds more. Why doesn’t Emma bat an eye at it oh my god

HERE COMES VOCAL ADRENALINE!!! And Jesse St. James is nowhere to be seen. How convenient. Also, they’re all 30. I’m sensing a pattern.

Sorry VA, all songs popularised my Amy Winehouse legally belong to Santana Lopez

Puck, if you were stupid enough to fall for the prostate excuse, that’s on you. Or maybe it’s on the education system...

You can do better that Mr Schue, kids. Don’t mourn him.

Ok, what the fuck is this scene where he’s filling out the job app to become an accountant? There’s a dude in the row in front off him just throwing crisps around? What is this place?? Why are you here sir???

“Accounting is sexy” shut up you horrible married man

The Cheerios sure did have straight ponytails for like, one episode, huh?

Finn is such a good boy. He doesn’t know it yet, but he is, and saving Artie from that portapotty is his first step to figuring it out.

This shot of Finn just wheeling Artie out of there... Ugh. My HEART.

KURT WHAT ARE THOSE LAYERS? SWEATER SHIRT SWEATER? HELLO???

Pee balloons. Nailing the lawn furniture to the roof. Finn, you’re better than that!!! Stop your dudebros.

They really had Artie be a guitar player, and a pretty good one at that, but they never mentioned it again? Artie had such potential SMH. (Also, Netflix subtitles are telling me it’s Arty, but I categorically refuse to spell it that way.)

Whyyyyy didn’t he go to KURT for the costumes as well? Look at his outfit, Finn. He clearly wants in on that job.

Will Schuester really is just desperately clinging to his glory days in high school. I’d feel bad for him if he wasn’t such a creep about it.

Emma, meaningfully: Do you know who that is? That’s you, Will... [FRANTIC DISCO MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND]

I find it hilarious how the audio of Don’t Stop Believin’ just DOES NOT match the characters except for the solos... Also wow, autotune city. Am I awful for genuinely not liking this cover?

I like watching them perform it though. Kurt’s adorable little shimmy... Rachel and Tina smiling at each other like that... Everybody having a blast... I’m here for it

LOOK AT MY BABIES TILTING THOSE MIC STANDS...

Ok the way Rachel and Finn look at each other here is making me FEEL

I know Puck’s about to join anyway but WHY is he there watching... Just to have a mysterious bad boy moment? Lol you dramatic bastard

Please let them win nationals without you, Will.

So, yeah! There’s that! Those are my thoughts and feelings, basic though they may be. Episode one is fantastic, the kids are fantastic, and William Schuester can suck a toe.

25 college basketball players who will define Championship Week, ranked

Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports

These are the college basketball players you need to know as Championship Week grabs the spotlight.

For complete coverage of Championship Week from Mike Rutherford, follow this StoryStream.

25. Lamine Diane (Cal State Northridge/Big West)

After being ruled academically ineligible to compete during the first semester of the 2019-20 season, Diane has been back to putting up his ridiculous stat lines over the last two months. As a freshman last season, the native of Senegal was the only player in the country to average above 24 points (24.8), 10 rebounds (11.2) and two blocks (2.2) per game. Diane is averaging more points (25.5 ppg) this season, has upped his steal (1.8 spg) and assist (2.9 apg) averages, and is only slightly behind last year’s pace when it comes to rebounds (10.1 rpg) and blocked shots (1.8 bpg). His Matadors squad currently sits in a three-way tie for second place in the Big West standings.

24. Jibri Blount (North Carolina Central/MEAC)

Blount does a little bit of everything for North Carolina Central, which is currently tied for first in the MEAC standings and looking to claim the league’s auto-bid to the NCAA tournament for the fourth straight season. If that happens, it’s almost a certainty that Blount will have had a significant amount to do with it. The 6’7 junior is averaging 19.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.

23. Sayeed Pridgett (Montana/Big Sky)

Pridgett has quietly been having one of the best seasons of any non-power conference player in America. The 6’5 senior from Oakland leads Montana in scoring (19.3 ppg), rebounding (7.2 rpg), assists (3.8 apg), and steals (1.6 spg). With two games to play in the regular season, Pridgett and the Grizzlies currently sit tied atop the Big Sky standings with Eastern Washington at 14-4.

"OH MY GOODNESS!" Sayeed Pridgett goes coast-to-coast for a massive dunk! #GoGriz #GrizHoops pic.twitter.com/PVT2pkk8S1

— Montana Griz BB (@MontanaGrizBB) January 22, 2017

22. Isaiah Blackmon (Saint Francis Pa./Northeast)

A year ago, Saint Francis’ Keith Braxton took home Northeast Conference Player of the Year honors. Twelve months later, that same honor seems destined to go to Braxton’s teammate, Isaiah Blackmon. The 6’1 guard has been a revelation for the Red Flash in his senior season, and will enter the NEC tournament averaging career-bests in points (19.2 ppg), rebounds (5.4 rpg), assists (1.6 apg), and free-throw percentage (83.3 percent).

21. Paul Atkinson (Yale/Ivy League)

Yale has been the best team in the Ivy League so far this season thanks in no small part to Atkinson’s 17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. The play of the 6’10 junior will make the Bulldogs a trendy NCAA tournament upset pick ... if they can get there. In order to make that happen they will likely have to knock off their biggest threat, Harvard, on the Crimson’s home floor.

20 Tevin Brown (Murray State/Ohio Valley)

Ja Morant’s right hand man a year ago, Brown has stepped into the Racers’ starring role as a sophomore. One of the best two-way players in America at any level, Brown is a lockdown defender who shoots 41.5 percent from three and leads the Racers in scoring at 17.7 points per game.

19. Jalen Pickett (Siena/Metro Atlantic Athletic)

A year ago, Pickett set Siena freshmen records for both scoring (521) and steals (66), while also achieving the fourth-highest single-season assist total overall (221) in school history. He’s been even better as a sophomore, and has the Saints alone atop the MAAC standings heading into the final week of the regular season.

youtube

18. Jordan Ford (Saint Mary’s/West Coast)

It’s a only a mild overstatement to say that as Jordan Ford goes, so goes Saint Mary’s. Heading into his final collegiate postseason, the lightning quick guard is averaging 21.2 points per game and shooting 48.9 percent from the field despite almost never leaving the floor for the Gaels. He’s been on the court for an average of 37.7 minutes per game this season, the ninth-highest rate in the country.

17. Osasumwen Osaghae (Florida International/Conference USA)

One of the most improved players in the country, Osaghae averages 12.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The senior forward makes his biggest impact on the defensive end where he leads the nation in blocks by averaging just a hair under 4.0 swats per game. No one else in Division-I averages better than 3.5. Osaghae and the Panthers are currently tied for fourth in the C-USA standings with two regular season games still to play.

16. Caleb Homesley (Liberty/Atlantic Sun)

The likely A-Sun Player of the Year, Homesley has saved the best basketball of his college career for the end. The 6’6 senior guard averaged 22.6 points and 6.1 rebounds per game while shooting 50.9 percent from the field and 46.5 percent from three over the final seven games of the regular season.

15. Trevelin Queen (New Mexico State/WAC)

Queen was the Aggies’ leading scorer before having to miss five games after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on Jan. 22 to fix a lateral meniscus tear. Though the initial prognosis was that Queen would be out 4-6 weeks, he returned to the court just 22 days after the surgery. The super athletic senior has looked more like his old self in recent games. If he can get back to near 100 percent, NMSU could once again be a dangerous first round opponent for some top five seed.

14. Jordan Lyons (Furman/Southern)

The winningest player in the history of the program, Lyons will also leave Furman as the school’s all-time leader in three-pointers made, and in the top 15 on the career scoring list. The only major thing Lyons has failed to do in his college career — which has included Furman being ranked for the first time in 107-year history of the program — is take the Paladins to the NCAA tournament. Lyons and company will be the 2 seed in the SoCon tournament. If they win it, Furman will make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1980.

13. Grant Riller (Charleston/Colonial Athletic Association)

There’s a reason why Riller has started to pop up as a late first round pick on a number of recent NBA mock drafts. He’s got tremendous handles, a reliable outside shot, and (currently) 2,448 career points, the second most in Charleston history and the third most in Colonial Athletic Association history. Riller will look to add to that total at the CAA tournament, where his Cougars will be the No. 4 seed.

youtube

12. Carlik Jones (Radford/Big South)

The Big South’s Player of the Year, Jones has scored 20 or more points 16 times this season. Despite only being a junior, Jones ranks eighth on Radford’s all-time scoring list with 1,498 career points. He and the Highlanders will be the No. 1 seed at the Big South tournament.

11. Terry Taylor (Austin Peay/Ohio Valley)

One of the most electric players at the mid/low major level of Division-I, Taylor leads Austin Peay in scoring (21.4 ppg), rebounding (10.8 rpg), steals (1.3 spg), and blocks (1.4 bpg). The likely OVC Player of the Year, Taylor has 16 double-doubles so far in his junior season, a feat he accomplished in seven of Austin Peay’s final eight regular season games. Taylor and the Governors will be a dangerous 3 seed in the OVC tournament.

10. AJ Green (Northern Iowa/Missouri Valley)

A year after being the Missouri Valley’s top scoring freshman, Green has emerged as the best player on the league’s best team. The 6’4 sophomore from Cedar Falls is averaging 19.7 points per game and shooting 91.7 percent from the free-throw line, the fourth-best mark in the country. Regardless of how UNI performs at Arch Madness, it’s a safe bet that the basketball world will see Green do his thing in the Big Dance.

9. Jermaine Marrow (Hampton/Big South)

The nation’s fourth-leading scorer at 24.3 points per game, Marrow makes Hampton a real threat as the 5 seed in the Big South tournament. The Pirates won one game in the Big South tournament last season, their first in the conference after making the jump over from the MEAC. With Marrow, who became the school’s all-time leading scorer last month, graduating after this year’s run, the pressure is on to do even more.

youtube

8. Justin Turner (Bowling Green/Mid-American)

Currently averaging 18.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, Turner is the primary reason Bowling Green is in prime position to make it to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1968. The Falcons have been a force in the MAC with Turner at full-strength, but were remarkably average in December when the 6’4 junior was sidelined with a hamstring injury he suffered during the team’s overtime upset of Cincinnati.

7. Jhivvan Jackson (UTSA/Conference USA)

UTSA’s season hasn’t gone as well as Roadrunner fans were hoping it would four months ago, but that isn’t the fault of Jackson. The nation’s second-leading scorer is averaging 27.3 points per game and has scored 20 or more points in every game but three this season. Even though they’re currently below .500 with a 7-9 league mark, Jackson should make UTSA a live longshot at next week’s C-USA tournament.

6. Yoeli Childs (BYU/West Coast)

Suspended for the first nine games of this season because he filed his NBA Draft eligibility paperwork in the wrong order (swear to God that’s a real story, look it up), Childs has been an absolute monster for the Cougars since returning. BYU is riding a nine-game winning streak that includes a double-digit victory over Gonzaga, and Childs is the biggest reason why. The senior forward heads into the postseason averaging 22.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

5. Nathan Knight (William & Mary/Colonial Athletic Association)

The Tribe’s leader in both scoring (20.6 ppg) and rebounding (10.5 rpg), Knight is about to wrap up arguably the best career in the history of William & Mary basketball. What makes the season even more special is that he could have easily transferred to a high major program for his final college season, especially after head coach Tony Shaver was given a surprising axe last spring. Instead, Knight stuck around to make sure the Dane Fischer era got off to the best start possible. The only thing left for him to accomplish now is taking the Tribe to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the 83-year history of the program.

4. Loudon Love (Wright State/Horizon League)

The play of Love is the biggest reason Wright State heads into the postseason with a 25-6 overall record and won the conference’s regular season title by a full two games over Northern Kentucky. The 6’9 Love was named Horizon League Player of the Year after averaging 16.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.

3. Sa’eed Nelson (American/Patriot League)

American’s all-time leading scorer, Nelson is the only active Division-1 player with 2,000 career points, 500 assists, 500 rebounds and 250 steals. Earlier this week he became the third American player to be named Patriot League Player of the Year, joining Patrick Docter (2002) and Derrick Mercer (2009). Nelson’s Eagles will be the No. 2 seed in the Patriot League tournament.

2. Filip Petrusev (Gonzaga/West Coast)

One of the least-heralded Gonzaga stars in recent years, Petrusev’s meteoric rise in his sophomore season is the main reason the Zags are right back in the mix as a top tier national title contender. The 6’11 native of Serbia enters the postseason averaging 17.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.

1. Anthony Lamb (Vermont/America East)

His numbers are down a bit from last season, but Lamb still seems like a virtual lock to win his second straight America East Player of the Year award. Lamb now also has the opportunity to become just the second player in the history of the America East to be named the Most Valuable Player of the league’s tournament three times. The only time in his college career that Lamb didn’t earn the honor was two years ago when the Catamounts were upset in the championship game by UMBC.

Absolutely nothing noteworthy happened after that.

Five coolest facts about Indians’ AL record-tying 20th straight win

The Cleveland Indians shut out the Detroit Tigers 2-0 on Tuesday night behind yet another brilliant pitching performance from Corey Kluber to win their 20th in a row, which ties the 2002 Oakland A’s for the AL record for most consecutive victories.

The surging Indians are now 89-56, which is the best record in the AL, and they are closing in on the Dodgers for the best record in MLB. They also have a chance to set the new AL record for consecutive wins during Wednesday’s series finale against the Tigers. If they win that game, their 21 straight wins would tie them with the 1935 Cubs for the second-best win streak since 1900. The 1916 Giants have everyone beat with a streak of 26.

After Cleveland’s win on Tuesday, they received congratulations from the A’s via Twitter:

Crazy! Just plain crazy! Congratulations to the @Indians on joining the 20 Consecutive Club. #WINdians http://pic.twitter.com/HwZlkI0wym

— Oakland A's (@Athletics) September 13, 2017

The Indians have gotten to 20 straight wins thanks to equal parts dominance in pitching and hitting, with the club’s ERA being 1.60 during the streak, and the team collectively batting over .300.

20 wins

Pitching 1.60 ERA 183 K-34 BB .206/.251/.289 Rot: 1.71 ERA Bullpen: 1.34 ERA

Offense 134 R 92 XBH 39 HR .308/.387/.556

RD: +102

Now that you’re caught up on Cleveland’s impressive streak, let’s take a look at the five coolest facts about their 20-game winning streak.

1. Cleveland has been more dominant than Oakland was in their 20-game streak (based on run differential).

Here's how the 20-game winning streaks in the AL stack up. Indians have thrown 7 shutouts in this span (A's had 2 during their streak). http://pic.twitter.com/l8tSzvD34F

2. The pitching has been incredible and posted seven shutouts during the streak — that’s over a third of the games!

Tribe pitching has recorded 7 shutouts during the winning streaks. For the season, they have an MLB-high 19.

3. As good as the pitching has been during the streak, a previous Indians squad actually had a better stretch.

Cleveland has allowed 33 runs during the streak; it's the best 20-game stretch in MLB since the Indians allowed 28 runs in April/May 1968.

4. The Indians as a team have hit more home runs than runs they’ve allowed in the 20 games!

Lindor has 30 homers. Also, #Indians now have 39 homers in winning streak. Opponents have 30 runs.

5. Manager Terry Francona is superstitious, and he’s refusing to talk to a friend during the streak:

Tito has a friend he refuses to talk to other than via text because he's a "gray cloud" of bad luck. http://pic.twitter.com/OcaHS4EpyI

— Ryan Lewis (@RyanLewisABJ) September 13, 2017

Don’t pick up the phone yet, Tito — your team still has some work to do to set the new AL record and to surpass the 1916 Giants!
