INDIANS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Indians Derek Lowe Was Honest In Saying He Sucked What About The Others?

35 runs, that is what the Indians pitching gave up in Chicago the past three days. The Cleveland Indians Derek Lowe said he sucked yesterday and he was right. The problem is the rest of the Indians pitchers who faced the White Sox didn’t fair any better. We all know the Chicago White Sox can hit the baseball, but 35 runs against another major league baseball team, are you kidding...

The Cleveland Indians Send Ubaldo Jimenez To The Mound Today

The Cleveland Indians have given up 23 runs in the past two games against the Chicago White Sox. Yesterday Derek Lowe said he sucked and many are hoping the big man Ubaldo Jimenez doesn’t suck today as he hope to get the Indians at least one win in the windy city of Chicago.

Although the game turned out to be a 14-7 slugfest, Brantley’s amazing catch is one of the best catches of the young season.

Indians reliever leaves bullpen too early

Just when you thought that you'd seen it all in a Major League Baseball game, Cleveland Indians reliever Joe Smith provided us with something I've never seen before. Cleveland starting pitcher Justin Masterson appeared to be ready to come out and Smith thought manager Manny Acta had called him from the pen. Sadly, Acta didn't and Mr. Smith had a forgettable moment:...

Indians in first despite lacking 'star power'

CLEVELAND -- Baseball statements are not made in May, so the Cleveland Indians three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers counts for no more than three wins. But it's safe to say that the Indians gave the Tigers -- and everyone who conceded Detroit the Al Central title in the offseason -- something to think about. The Indians beat all-world ace Justin Verlander Thursday afternoon...

Counterpoint: A Cleveland Resident and Indians’ Fan Perspective on Low Attendance at Progressive Field

Yesterday on this very web site there was an article written by AJ Kaufman in which he wrote about the lack of attendance at Cleveland Indians games despite the time being in first place.
