Grady Sizemore
As soon as the 2011 World Series is over, the Cleveland Indians have some tough decisions to make regarding Fausto Carmona and outfielder Grady Sizemore. They have decide on their 2012 options. Sizemore option is for nearly nine-million dollars. In this era of baseball this is not a huge amount of money, but is it worth it? Grady Sizemore has [...]
The End is Near Tribe
The End is near...again. What started as a promising season has faded to what most Cleveland Indians expected. Another season without a post-season appearance for the Tribe. With a hot start, the Tribe jumped into first place in the central, a position they held for more than 3/4 of the season. But shackled by injuries, inexperience, and lack [...]

2010 Will Be An Interesting Season
It’s spring time, a mere week and some change away from the 2010 MLB season start. Normally, this is one of my favorite times of the year, and while I will still be attending the Home Opener at the Jake, it will never be Progressive Field, my enthusiasm is greatly tempered. I am a baseball fan, it is one of those games I can watch regardless [...]
MLB’s Floating Realignment
About four months ago Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig named a 14 person Special Committee for On-Field Matters. This group was charged with examining MLB and providing suggestions on how to make baseball better, and no issue is too sacred to be considered. On March 9th, Sports Illustrated writer Tom Verducci posted a column on the [...]
Tribe Lose Two To Injury
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Spring training is over for Cleveland Indians veteran Jason Grilli and rookie Jordan Brown. Brown will have arthroscopic surgery early next week in Cleveland to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee, trainer Lonnie Soloff said Saturday. Grilli is seeking a second opinion on an injury to his right [...]
The Game Behind the Ballgame
These are tough times. Lay-offs are happening all around us. Cleveland and the rest of northern Ohio have been hit hard by the recession. So with more people having less to spend, the big-wigs at Progressive Field have been working hard to find the best ways to get your money. Let's face it... the fans are the true bosses for professional sports. [...]
Indians Add Russell Branyan
With last year being his first season in which he spent the entire season in the big leagues, Russell Branyan hit 31 homers last season, with 76 RBI's. However, he only hit .251, and struck out 148 times. Russell Branyan had career highs in at bats, homers, and RBI's. This move will surely affect a lot of people on the Indians. Top Prospect [...]
Indians Anncounce Front Office Change
Indians Rain on the Cavaliers Parade In what seems to be a “Hey look at me “move, the Indians called a press conference yesterday to announce a change in the front office. Long-time general manager Mark Shapiro will be promoted to president after the season and be succeeded as GM by his assistant, Chris Antonetti. The current team president, [...]
When Will The Indians Win?
This question was asked of me, “When do you think the Indians will contend for a World Series?” My answer, “When Larry Dolan sells the team.” I wish I was kidding. I truly believe that this team will never be competitive, save for the random season every now and then, when all the the stars line up, and all the young players [...]
Kenny Lofton In Indians Hall of Fame
Kenny Lofton has been elected to the Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame! Cleveland’s favorite leadoff hitter is “ecstatic” to have this honor. "I was ecstatic," Lofton told reporters Wednesday. "I didn't know what to say at first. I was just overwhelmed." Lofton spend much of his 17 year long career in Cleveland, being on the team for 10 [...]
Rafael Perez’s New Deal
The Cleveland Indians kept their arbitration streak intact by coming to terms with reliever Rafael Perez on a $795,000 deal. The club was scheduled to exchange salary figures Tuesday with Perez, the only player on Cleveland's roster eligible for arbitration. The Indians have not gone to arbitration since 1991. Perez, who can earn another [...]
Hall of Sham!
Roberto Alomar was passed over today by the Baseball Hall of Fame. Andre Dawson was the lone inductee. This, in my humble opinion, is a classic example of why the vote needs to be taken away from the Baseball Writers of America. They have a history of not voting players into the based solely on grudges, or even worse, pure laziness. Andre Dawson [...]
