Indians Place Dellucci on DL; Recall Crowe from Columbus
With just one week until they open up against the Rangers in Texas, the Cleveland Indians tweaked their opening day roster once again to make sure that it is just right. Their basic moves are that they placed outfielder David Dellucci on the 15-day disabled list where he will be until the middle of April. To fill his spot on the roster, the Indians recalled outfielder Trevor Crowe from their AAA affiliate, the Columbus Clippers of the International League.

Crowe has been the doll of the Indians’ farm system for some time now and they even made a few different attempts at altering his position to see if it would bring him to the majors at a faster pace due to the team’s immediate needs. For a while when he was with the team’s AA affiliate, the Akron Aeros, he was attempting to learn second base and even took practice doing double plays for basically a straight mo...

Settle Down - It Was Just One Game
Okay, Cliff Lee looked like crap, the offense did nothing off a former Indian, and as usual, the sky is falling after one loss. Settle down folks. Indians fans should be use to losing the first game of the season, it’s happened 7 of the last 11 seasons. Deal with it.

Game #1: Can We Start Over?
Wow. Well, you kind of had that feeling that Cliff Lee was going to have one of those days today after he won 22 games in 2008. No one though probably thought 2009 for Lee and the Tribe would start out as ugly as it did today. The team was shelled by [...]

Padres Drop Opener To Dodgers
The San Diego Padres dropped an opening day decision to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 and about all I can think to say about it is that the food was good and that Jake looked like he was pressing in the first inning.Look, we all know that expectations for the Friars are pretty low this year. (Those who claim they are at an all-time low have conveniently forgotten the 1970's.)But...

What to expect?
The Indians are an ambiguous team as the 2009 season dawns.In years past, we'd be able to get an idea of whether the Indians would excel in the rotation, in the bullpen or in the batting lineup. This year, it's kind of difficult to gauge what, exactly, we should expect of this team. Mark Shapiro's moves this offseason, Travis Hafner's lingering production problems...
Indians Scrapbook: Opening Day 1993
Cliff Lee
gave up seven runs during the season opener on Monday against a
powerful Rangers lineup. That was not overly surprising given his
career 7.09 ERA against the Texas sluggers, but it was still hard to
accept the fact that the Tribe ace was knocked around so much after
such a stellar season a year ago. He didn’t give up seven runs in one
start all of last season, and...
110 Losses, Here We Come!
Padres opening days are nothing if not classy. When we think Padres baseball, we think first-class all the way.The day began as Padres openers always do -- with the dignified tradition of a tuxedoed Ted Leitner doing a poor man's version of Michael Buffer. After the 20-minute pregame ceremony -- which seemed more like 20 hours -- the impression it left with us was: Leitner is...
Jamey Carroll to DL, Graffanino Up

1. Nice start for Josh Beckett
This season hasn’t gone the way of the ace so far, with CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee, Justin Verlander and Tim Lincecum all struggling for their respective teams. But one No. 1 that didn’t struggle in his ’09 debut was Boston’s Josh Beckett, who fanned 10 in the BoSox’s 5-3 victory [...]
