Second Thoughts Game #46: Indians 12, Red Sox 3
While the central storyline of this game was unavoidably the return of Terry Francona to Fenway, the Indians’ hammering of the Red Sox should not be relegated to footnote status. This was a critical bounceback after a two-game stumble against Detroit, and it sets a very nice tone for a tough six-game holiday weekend road trip.
On a night where the 6-through-9 hitters drove in...

5/23 Recap: Indians 12 - Red Sox 3
Roster Update: In "oops we made a big mistake" news, the Indians sent DFA'd David Huff to make room for Scott Barnes as Huff has struggled in his last two outings and Rich Hill is not fit to be a sole left hander out of the pen. If you don't remember, normal left handed match-up man, Nick Hagadone was sent back to AAA on May 17th so that Huff wouldn't have to...
Debuting the Home Run Tracker!
The Indians are in sole possession of first place! So, as promised, the strike out counter will be converted to a home run counter. Originally, the purpose of the strike out counter was because it looked like the Indians had a chance at breaking the all-time Major League (or at least the American League) record for strike outs. The Houston Astros have completely made all those discussions...
Trend Spotting: The value of Stubbs and a dilemma at third
As an Indians fan watching the team get off to a tremendous start, I find myself spending the majority of my time trying to pick holes in the roster that could eventually be our downfall or equalizing force. Attempting to find players who are so far outplaying their capability that regression both as a player and as a team is inevitable. This is not to say I am not thoroughly enjoying...

The Time I Partied with John Popper, AKA Blues Traveler in Vegas
This is a baseball post because when I was watching the Washington Nationals game the other day, I saw behind home plate that on Saturday, June 8th; Blues Traveler will be the on-field concert. The radio advertisement had me grinning and thinking of my connection to this man. It’s also a story of how if you are willing to let it – sometimes the fun just finds you.

Wahoo Walkoff! Stubbs Makes It Five Straight For Tribe
With high-priced free agents Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher on the shelf for the last couple weeks and last few days respectively, one would think that Progressive Field was burning. Instead, that smoke you’re seeing is coming from the Tribe bats, who have stayed warm without their leadoff and cleanup hitters. Actually, they’ve heated up and diversified the contributions. Last...
