Indians (30-43) at Pirates (32-39) 7:05–PNC Park, Pittsburgh TV: FSN Pittsburgh, STO [Here is the MLB Gameday] ————————————— Ross Ohlendorf is starting to worry me.

The most frutsrtating thing for me about the Ian Snell situation isn’t how shocking it is for a major league pitcher to ask for his demotion because he can’t handle all the “negativity.” It isn’t the fact that Snell’s $8 million/three year contract is guaranteed no matter where he pitches in 2009 and beyond. It isn’t even that Snell was a...

Game 70: Indians 5 Pirates 4

To begin with, near comeback against a terrible bullpen is no reason to get excited about what was an otherwise terrible baseball game. We'll get to said comeback in a minute, but first we should focus on the terrible parts. If we're going to do that, Ian Snell is certainly the place to start. Yes, Steve Pearce played some awful defense that got Snell into hotter water than...

Growing up smack between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, I was always tempted by the awesome Indian teams of the 90s to give up my allegiance to the Pirates and turn to the dark side. I was incredibly jealous of my friends that were Indians' fans. The second reason this...
