The tallest player in baseball reliever Jon Rauch is drawing interest from the Rays,Redsox and D-Backs. The Phillies have little interest in trading for starter A.J. Burnett and the Phillies are on Burnetts 15 team no trade list in his contract. The Angels are not interested in aquiring Matt   more...

I guess when you name a blog "God Hates Cleveland Sports" you've seen enough failures in your time to quickly and easily dissect yet another dissapointing season. This top ten list was inspired by a quote from 2005 GM of the year Mark Shapiro, who basically said he had no idea what went wrong in   more...

On Wednesday night the Braves hit 3 longballs off struggling righty Brett Myers; last night was an entirely different story. Cole Hamels, the true staff ace, shutdown the Braves for his first career shutout, spreading 4 hits and 2 walks over 9 frames with 6 k's lowering his era to 2.89. On the   more...

So why the big turnaround for the Indians with a roster that remains, in large part, very similar to last season's disappointing 2006 squad? I'm chalking it up to Cleveland leftfielder Jason Michaels enhancing his all-around baseball game this season. After a rocky 2006 defensively, Michaels went   more...

Bored of being dispirited by the awfulness of the Phillies this spring and not even wanting to bother hashing out the Pirates problems I have focused my energy elsewhere. I decided to entertain myself by perusing the current 40-man rosters to piece together a team made of former Phils. Stipulation-   more...

Joe Sheehan had an article today arguing that the Indians should keep Sabathia, and make a run at the division. Someone should probably get Sheehan and Tyler Kepner together for a little chat. The article mentions various metrics, including their run differential (+15) and EqA (11th in the   more...

SIZZLERSAaron Laffey (SP, Cleveland Indians): Talk about pitching depth. The Cleveland Indians have C.C. Sabathia (yes, he's on my "Fizzlers" list, but he's still a good pitcher), Fausto Carmona, Cliff Lee, Paul Byrd, and Jake Westbrook (returning from the DL) as their first five starters, and they   more...

Anyone know what the deal was with Victor Martinez today?He wasn't in the starting lineup and the Angels broadcasters (on the dish) didn't really find it worth investigating why.The so-called blog on Cleveland.com made no mention of why Martinez was out.No games summaries that I've come across have   more...

It just doesn't get more frustrating than this.The Tribe started this four-game series against the Yanks with two straight wins.A sweep was looking like a possibility and certainly a series win was at hand.You could rationalize yesterday as the Tribe being victimized by Chien-Ming Wang at his   more...

They say that breaking up is hard to do.CC Sabathia is making it a whole lot easier.Sabathia has taken the mound three times this season - his walk season - and has had three awful outings, with tonight's being the worst.If this continues too much longer Tribe fans won't care where the big man is   more...
