As I ate my lunch today, a friend of mine and I were talking baseball. He is a Braves fan, and has apparently reached the end of his rope. As I lamented about the Tribe not quite being able to get over the .500 mark, he finally blurted out, "I just think it's time this [...]

Apparently, all it took was two years of ridiculously early opening days for Major League Baseball to realize that the Indians should perhaps start a season of baseball on the road.
With the release of the 2009 schedule, Tribe fans will no longer be forced to sit outside for hours at a time during the end of March, where snow-outs are not exactly rare. Next year, the Indians...

Braves Say Goodbye to Shea
So you think Red Sox vs Yankees is good? Or maybe you bore with indignity all the talk of the last Red Sox vs Yankees series in Yankee Stadium? Well perhaps our rivalry doesn’t have Bucky Dent, Aaron Boone, Curses and 3-0 comebacks but I think it’s just as good if not better. And for [...

A little less than a year ago, the Indians turned a few heads when they agreed to terms with relief pitcher Masa Kobayashi. At 34 years of age, Kobayashi has had an up and down season that has become a little more volatile with each marginal inning pitched.

HAPPy Days
J.A. Happ picked up his first career victory on the major league level on a night that a win was huge for the Philadelphia Phillies. With the Mets and Brewers both winning, the Philies stayed ahead of the chasers in the NL East and the NL Wild Card, should the Phillies need the 2nd place invitation to the playoffs.
Tribe to Columbus Almost Done?

Pat the Bat Strikes Back
Pat Burrell hit a two run homerun in the sixth inning, leading the Phillies to a 4-3 win against the Braves Thursday night. The win kept the Phillies a half game in front of the Mets in the NL East.
Indians Looking For Closer?
The Indians primary goal this offseason will be to find a top of the line closer. While some have said they would be interested in Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez, he is probably out of their price range. The Indians would be better off going after someone like Brian Fuentes or Brandon Lyon. Both are solid closers with experience who would really bring up that bullpen. According...
A last father-daughter trip to Yankee Stadium
I made my last trip ever to Yankee Stadium last night, and it brought back memories of my 25 seasons of watching baseball at the game's greatest ballpark.It was also a night that had the potential to be a moment for a father and his daughter to share a special memory. That part was not to be - but we'll get to that. Most New Yorkers have their own special memories of Yankee...

While Rock (remember him?) broke the ice on this one not too long ago, it appears that the speculation has come true. Per the Columbus Dispatch, the Cleveland Indians will officially have their Triple-A affiliate located within the state of Ohio in the form of the Columbus Clippers - formerly the affiliate of the Washington Nationals...

Postgame: Happ, Phillies dust aside Braves 6-1
J.A. Happ pitched six shutout innings to help keep the Phillies perfect at Turner Field and maintain their lead in the National League East. Following last night's nail-biter, they rewarded us with an easy one. The Phillies rattled Jair Jurrgens (13-10) with four, first-inning runs and never looked back, giving Happ (1-0) enough breathing room to cruise to his first Major League...
Burrell go-ahead homer fuels Phils past Braves 4-3
The Phillies finish their season series a perfect 9-0 at Turner Field, completing their third-consecutive road sweep of Atlanta to stay on top of the National League East. The Phils have won seven straight. Owned. It starts with the pitching, which is what this series was all about. Cole Hamels might have been sub-par by his own standards, but he still earned a quality start with...
