Grady Sizemore: History In the Making

We've already waived the white flag, and even went on to punctuate it. If we could photoshop a giant fork into an Indians logo, we would. But as many losses as this team racks up in what is turning out to be one of the most frustrating seasons on record, you can't help but cheer on the guys that are actually doing their job.
