April 14th, 2008 · View Comments

After the Tribe’s ace and ace-in-waiting both turned in forgettable performances, last year’s scapegoat Cliff Lee stopped the bleeding with a shut-down performance in the snow. On to the quick hits: Game 10: Cleveland 7, Oakland 9 I didn’t see the game. I was visiting friends in the Cincinnati area. CC got pummeled, giving up [...]

Travel Day

April 10th, 2008 · View Comments
