Everything Old is New Again

April 20th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Hey, crimestoppers, it’s been awhile. Frankly, if you’re reading this now, then thanks for stopping in after my months-long hiatus. I thought it would be worthwhile checking in now that the season has started, especially since the Tribe is about to take on faithful reader Dave Draeger’s Twins. “Everything Old is New Again” Russell Branyan [...]

What Can I Say?

April 30th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Hey, crimestoppers.  I figured it was about time for me to come on here and say something about the Tribe, since this is, allegedly, a blog about the Cleveland Indians. I’ve been thinking that I’d wait until things turned themselves around, and then one week become two, and two weeks became three and here we [...]

Midseason Mojo Update

July 16th, 2008 · 2 Comments

The All-Star Game has come and gone, and at Pronk Needs You! we pause to sum up the season so far: It’s been a bloody awful mess. All right. Enough reflection on the season so far. Others with far more ability to write reasoned discourse about the state of the Tribe (particularly the DiaTriber and [...]

Lost Weekend

April 21st, 2008 · No Comments

The Indians lost yet another series to a bad team, this time the Minnesota Twins in the Abomination Dome. The weekend started out promising, as Cliff Lee pitched 8 scoreless and Rafael Perez mopped up a 4-0 shutout on Friday night. Then the Abomination Dome black magic kicked in, as the Indians couldn’t buy a [...]

Indians 1, Whine Sox 2

April 4th, 2008 · No Comments

We could only score 1 run off John Danks; therefore, we deserved to lose. On we move to Oakland. Mojo Watch: Jake Westbrook: Jake pitched well, but he made two mistakes. If he gets the win, it’s 5 Elvi. Indians offense: 1 run off John Danks? C’mon. Detroit Tigers: Swept three straight by the KC [...]

Free Andy Marte! and Other Spring Training Thoughts

March 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Some Pre-Opening Day ThoughtsFree Andy Marte! Andy Marte is on the 25-man roster to open the season. He’s out of options. If Eric Wedge’s past trends are any indication, Andy Marte won’t play much – maybe once or twice a week. Wedge has proven himself smitten with the league average production of Casey Blake, Super [...]

It’s Good to Be Back Home Again

September 15th, 2007 · No Comments

When last we left our intrepid band of Wahoo Warriors, they were in the midst of a wicked 10-game road trip featuring stops in Minnesota, A Nameless Place in Southern California, and Chicago. They had just dropped the first game of a 4-game set in that Nameless Place in Southern California. The good news is [...]

The Streak Continues

August 31st, 2007 · No Comments

The Indians made it 6 in a row with a tense 6 to 5 victory sealed with a walk-off walk to Kenny Lofton. The Indians almost blew this game. The Indians went out to a 3-0 lead, which they squandered, letting Seattle come back to take a 4-3 lead. The Indians then came back to [...]

Santana, Schmantana

August 30th, 2007 · No Comments

The Cleveland Indians once again made Johan Santana their personal rented mule, this time by beating him savagely during a 4-run first inning and then hanging on for a 4-3 victory. The Indians came out swinging. Sizemore singled, and then Asbrdrubal “Pearl” Cabrera, making his first start at shortstop in place of Jhonny Peralta, smashed [...]

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 [...]
