Greener Grass, Revisionist History and Chris Perez
In 2009, the Cleveland Indians were not good. You might remember it as the season that Tomo Ohka was allowed to throw 71 sub-replacement level innings. Or the season that saw Ryan Garko man 28 innings in the outfield. Or the year that Masa Kobayahsi was actually paid to be on a Major League roster. These were heady times to be an Indians fan.

The Last Trade Of The Season
For an art -- the art of pitching, that is -- predicated on deceiving and/or overpowering the opposition to the greatest possible extent, it's a little surprising that we don't see more wild pitches uncorked. Only one out of every 450 or so pitches eludes the catcher and meets the necessary conditions to be a wild pitch; I'm going to assume the ratio is infinitesimally smaller for...

I'm still on the DO, and I'm actually updating this from my Moto Droid with my leg in this crazy motorized bending machine.

So it's off to Cleveland for the Mets this week. It's rare that the Mets show up in Cleveland (I believe 2004 was their last appearance there). However, it's worth noting that I have my own connections to Cleveland. See, a sector of my family migrated there years ago, and every so often I have voyaged out there. Last Summer, in fact, I made my first trip to Jacobs Field...

My Least Favorite Move of 2010
John Williamson/Getty Images
In Bob Geren’s first season as manager for the Oakland A’s, that was 2007, he had his pitchers issue 60 intentional walks … the most in the American League. You probably can imagine how this made me feel about Bob Geren’s managerial stylings. For some reason that year, I caught a game against Cleveland where he had his pitchers intentionally walk...
