Pronk Needs You!

For those who have been wondering why the Indians would bring Ben Francisco up to the big leagues and then not play him – maybe you were on to something. Francisco got his first start, his first major league hit, and his first major league home run – a walk-off shot to left field that [...]

The Indians snatched a 4-3 victory yesterday out of a game that started out looking like more of the previous day’s blowout. Paul Byrd started off looking like he didn’t have it, spotting the A’s to 3-0 lead after two. Then he found it, stifling the A’s over the next 5 innings, just long enough [...]

When you can’t keep the sinker down in the zone, you’re pretty much throwing batting practice, as Fausto Carmona found out last night, giving up 8 runs to the Athletics in 1 inning+. His ERA on the night – 72.00, with a WHIP of 9.00. The Tribe never recovered from their early pummeling, as last [...]

Bad weekend for the Tribe, as they lose 2 of 3 to the lowly Washington Nationals, a team that Detroit beat like a dirty rug 3 of 3. In the process, they slip out of first place, either 1 or 2 games out pending the Sunday night Atlanta-Detroit game. The good news of the weekend [...]

Pronkwatch: Pronk did not start, but pinch hit for Garko with the bases loaded in the fifth. He grounded into a double play to end the inning. In his subsequent at bat, he flied out with a runner on second base. New theory: The real Pronk has been kidnapped by Centauri because his skills are [...]

Insight on Pronk from the Diatriber: http://clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/paging-pronk.html More speculation on the lack of Pronkitude from Jim Ingraham, theorizing that it’s his contract situation that is causing him not to drive balls like he used to: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18506700&BRD=1699&PAG=461&dept_id=46370&rfi=6 It’s also worth noting that Atlantis has returned to Earth.
