Travel Day

April 10th, 2008 · No Comments

Sorry, crimestoppers, but real life has kept me from posting regarding the last two games until now. If only I could find some way to get myself paid for doing this. Anyway, today is a travel day for the Tribe, as they come back from a dramatic 2-4 West Coast swing, having split the last [...]

Pronkitude! Tightrope Saves! Spills, Chills and Thrills Aplenty!

August 29th, 2007 · No Comments

Pronk went yard in the first inning last night to stake the Tribe to a first inning lead for the second night in a row, and the Indians survived another bizarre save by Joe Borowski to hold on to a 6-5 victory over the now not-quite-so-hot-as-they-were Twins.
Grady Sizemore also went deep for the Tribe and [...]

Cleveland 8, Kansas City 3

June 7th, 2007 · No Comments

Pronkwatch: 1/3, a single, with 2 BB.
Another theory on Pronk’s Mojo - Perhaps he has loaned it to Casey Blake, who has been en fuego lately.
Among the people who do not have Pronk’s Mojo:

Chauncey Billups
Scooter Libby
The country of Oman
The Ottawa Senators
Andrew Speaker
Stray-Rod
Daunte Culpepper
Bjarne Riis

Pronkless at the Denouement

June 7th, 2007 · No Comments

Pronkwatch: 2/4, with 1 RBI. 0K, 0BB. Indians lose to KC 4-3.
The good news: Mark Teahen got to feel the power of Pronk’s Mojo, as a mighty shot of Pronkitude caused Teahen to misplay a fly ball to right field into an RBI double for Pronk as Kelly Shoppach scored the Indians first run in [...]

Gutierrez Grabs Slice of Pronk Mojo

June 6th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Pronkwatch: 0 for 4, 3Ks
The good news: CC Sabathia outdueled Jorge de la Rosa for a 1-0 Tribe victory. Gutierrez grabbed a small slice of the Freefloating Pronk Mojo to club one over the left field wall for the only run of the game.
The bad news: a very unPronklike performance from our man Travis, who [...]

Pronk Knows How to Beat Michigan

June 1st, 2007 · No Comments

Like Jim Tressel, Pronk knows how to Beat Michigan, or at least he did last night, going 2 for 3 with a monster two-run homer and a two-run single. In addition, he padded his league-leading walk totals, being allowed to trot leisurely to first base twice by the umpiring staff.
Pronk appears to be regaining Pronkitude, [...]

Pronk Still Needs You!

May 31st, 2007 · 1 Comment

Pronkwatch: Yesterday (5/30, v. Red Sox) 3 for 5, 2 RBI, with 2 doubles.
Pronk made a big stride forward yesterday, and your positive energy helped. But it’s just one day, and until Pronk makes an extended display of continual Pronkitude, we cannot assume that he is fully back.
Woody Hayes used to ask his [...]
