TEAMS: Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals
Zach McAllister is one of the few Indians starting pitchers that has a winning record.True McAllister only has four wins and two losses on the season, he is one of the Indians only hopes. The Cleveland Indians are looking for Zach McAllister to stop the Indians plunge, Cleveland has dropped their last four games to teams they should have beaten. The Cleveland Indians are presently six games back in the AL central. If the Tribe can’t get a win tonight the season might just come to a screeching halt, as far as post season play goes. At this point in the season the Indians made no moves to improve this team.
The trade deadline came and went and all the Indians general manager did, was to make more excuses. The fans in Cleveland are tired of excuses year after year, they saw the same thing take place last season. At least last season the Indians went out and tried to get a pitcher they thought could help the Indians win, even though the Ubaldo Jimenez trade didn’t pan out the way the fr...

Indians face KC, but will Choo be there?
Shin-Soo Choo has been the Cleveland Indians' top hitter this season, and he's had plenty of success on the road against the Kansas City Royals throughout his career.

Indians Send Derek Lowe Packing Bring In Corey Kluber To Start Tonight,Is This The Answer?
The Cleveland Indians sent Derek Lowe packing, the 39-year-old pitcher who started the season for the Indians at 6-1 has done nothing lately except watch his E.R.A. sky-rocket as the Indians lost games to teams they should have beat.

The Cleveland Indians Continue Their Decent Towards The Basement

Corey Kluber’s very first pitch as a starter for the Cleveland Indians was hit out of the park in Kansas City by Alex Gordon.

Indians designate Derek Lowe for assignment
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Cleveland Indians designated Derek Lowe for assignment Wednesday night, one day after the veteran right-hander was shelled by Kansas City.

Indians DFA Derek Lowe
As a Braves fan, this amuses me way more than it should. The Indians have designated starting pitcher Derek Lowe for assignment. Lowe was acquired by the Indians from the Braves this past offseason in essentially a salary dump, with Atlanta picking up $10 million of Lowe's $15 million salary in 2012, the final year of a four year pact he signed with the Braves prior to the...

An Open Letter to Chris Perez
Dear Chris Perez,
I hope this is all starting to make some more sense. The trials and tribulations of a fan base scorned, essentially lied to and perpetually left holding the bag of disappointment, have all bubbled up to the surface in a Vesuvian fashion.
Despite your outwardly vocal and oftentimes unsolicited opinions, there’s a reason why many Cleveland fans wanted you to stay...
Potential Red Sox Reunion With Derek Lowe Could End Up Making Sense for Both Sides
We were nearing the end of Red Sox Final on Wednesday night when an interesting tidbit came across The Edge, NESN's ubiquitous bottom-of-the-screen ticker: "Cleveland Indians designate Derek Lowe for assignment." Hmmm... Lowe, now 39 years old, has struggled mightily for the Indians of late. He's 0-3 with a 15.88 ERA in his last three starts after getting pounded...
Twins run Indians' losing streak to 10
The Cleveland Indians' once promising season has spiraled out of control. Minnesota was the latest team to give them a spin on Monday night.
Josh Willingham, Justin Morneau and Ryan Doumit homered during a 10-run second inning as the Twins routed the Indians 14-3, sending Cleveland to its 10th consecutive loss.
Starting pitcher Zach McAllister (4-4) was sent to the showers...
The Nats Shouldn't Sign Derek Lowe
Starting pitcher Derek Lowe was designated for assignment by the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night, paving the way for other teams around the league to make a move to grab him.

Report: Derek Lowe Would Love Red Sox Reunion, Just Needs a 'Tune-Up'
Many Red Sox fans' minds probably began to wander upon hearing that Derek Lowe had been designated for assignment by the Indians. While it's unclear if Boston is interested in bringing back the 39-year-old, who played with the club from 1997-2004, Lowe certainly seems open to the idea. According to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, Lowe said he just needs a "tune...
Is Derek Lowe returning to the Boston Red Sox?
Rumors are swirling as I write that it is quite possible that Derek Lowe, designated for assignment today by the Cleveland Indians, could very well be wearing the Sox uniform again.
Lowe 39, started the season 6-1 with a 3.09 ERA in his first 11 starts but has struggled since the All-Star break, going 0-3 with an ERA of 15.88, hefty numbers for a man making $15 million this year...
