Indians Unveil “New” Uniforms for the 2012 Season: Joe Smith Approves of One of Them

At least that’s what I think this link means.  Or maybe this is just a Black Friday ruse designed to make people buy jerseys that don’t really exist.  You decide. The differences here seem minimal.  Slightly less trim around the “Indians” script, and the red-brimmed cap in both iterations.  Whatever.  They look pretty rinky-dink to me–like a replica...

Is Joe Smith The Most Underrated Reliever This Year?

Joe Smith is not a name many people outside of the Cleveland Indians fan base would know.  Part of the Bullpen Mafia in Cleveland, Smith has had a very successful season for the Tribe. Smith has appeared in 46 games for the Indians with 43 IP and a 1.26 ERA.  Before surrendering a walk-off homer to Jacoby Ellsbury, Smith’s ERA was a 1.06 and Ellsbury’s solo blast was the...

Joe Smith Has a Rap MixTape Out...Yes That Joe Smith

So I am checking out my Twitter direct messages (http://www.twitter.com/BlkSportsOnline) and I have one from my friends over at Sporting News First Cuts (http://www.twitter.com/FirstCuts) telling me about the Joe Smith "Mixtape Thing". So I am thinking that Joe Smith maybe started a record label or he is dabbling in some producing. I was sorely mistaken. Joe Smith is the actual...

The Lefty Guard Barack Obama , Chris Paul, and The Trade Deadline

Embedded video from CNN VideoAs a left handed person, this is the first time I’ve ever heard anything good about a lefty in basketball since Lefty Drizzel. CNN got quite an assortment of former and current players to break down President Obama’s game.
