I’ve taken a few days to get the season out of my system. I’ve moved past denial into acceptance, and I’m ready for Hot Stove. Here are the issues that the Tribe needs to face during the offseason, as I see them, in no particular order: Pronk’s Mojo – Pronk’s Mojo must be found. First [...]

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.

“Oh, the pain, the pain” – Dr. Smith, “Lost in Space” White Sox 6, Indians 4 in 13 innings. Ouch. That one hurt. I turned the game off when it went into extras, but I saw Betancourt groove a fastball to Jermaine Dye to send the game into extras and blow yet another win for [...]

Jake Westbrook was dealin’ last night, retiring 23 of 24 hitters in one stretch after getting touched up for a single run in the first inning, and the Indians scored just enough runs to beat the White Sox 2-1. Westbrook went 8 solid innings, giving up 2 hits and striking out 5. Grady Sizemore had [...]
