Pronk Needs You!

Game 3 of the Indians-Forces of Evil and Darkness in the Baseball Universe (FEDBU) series is in the books, and the Indians now lead their ALDS series 2 games to 1 after last night’s 8-4 FEDBU victory. Roger Clemens, headhunting punk and future Hall of Famer in the event he ever stays retired, looked like [...]

A pest in baseball is typically one of those annoying players like David Eckstein who seems to bother the opposition. Yesterday, the pests were really pests – midges swarming Jacobs Field in the 8th inning. Forces of Evil and Darkness in the Baseball Universe (FEDBU) uber-phenom Joba Chamberlain got rattled and uncorked two wild pitches [...]

If the Indians do indeed go on to win the AL Central, their performance this year against the Twins, a team that has given them problems in recent years, will be one of the key reasons why. Yesterday’s 6-2 win left the Indians 14-4 in the season series versus the Twinkies, including 5 victories against [...]

Last night: ugly 9-6 loss to the Rangers, 10 innings. Blame: plenty to go around. Rafael Betancourt, usually reliable, gave up the tying runs. Jensen Lewis was awful in the 10th, throwing the ball around the park and making bad decisions. Paul Byrd was pretty bad but held on through sheer guts and guile longer [...]

This marks the first time Buehrle has beaten the Indians in over 2 years. Worse: The Tribe goes on the road to play Texas, a team that they [...]

The Indians ended the first half of the season by generally playing pretty crappy baseball. Thursday: Tigers 12, Indians 3. CC stunk. Verlander didn’t. Enough said. Friday: Blue Jays 8, Indians 6. Cliff Lee stunk. So did Halladay, but much less than Cliff Lee. Saturday: Indians 9, Blue Jays 4: Carmona pitched well. The Indians [...]

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 [...]
