Browns 27 Texans 17

2007-11-26T01:52:00Z

The following are my thoughts on today's win over the Texans: Derek Anderson had another outstanding start today. He did throw the one pick which we have come to expect. But the fact is he is winning and gives us the big play capability we have been looking for. I do love the fact that he isn't afraid to make a tough throw and he seems to relish the opportunity to do so. Jamal Lewis had a great day and he really punished the Texans defenders with his aggressive, downhill running style. It...(read more)

Browns 33 Ravens 30

2007-11-20T05:49:00Z

Here are my thoughts on Sunday's thrilling overtime win over the Ravens: Derek Anderson bounced back from the Pittsburgh game with a solid effort. He did throw a pick that was returned for a touchdown, but ran the offense very effectively. Like I have mentioned in previous weeks the big thing with DA is that at the end of the game he always gets his team down the field and gives them a chance to win the game. His best play was in the fourth quarter shrugging off a defensive lineman and throwing...(read more)

Steelers 31 Browns 28

The following are my thoughts on today's loss against Pittsburgh: Derek Anderson had his worse start of the year today. He started out strong but really was shaky in the second half throwing behind receivers. He should get credit for still finding a way to give his team a chance at the end of the game to tie with a field goal. I give credit to Braylon for making a tremendous catch in the end zone for a touchdown, but if he wants to be the player he says he can be he needs to have more than just...(read more)

Browns 33 Seahawks 30

2007-11-08T02:02:00Z

The following are my thoughts on Sunday's thrilling overtime win over Seattle: Derek Anderson had another solid game. I think this was his best game so far since he put 33 points up against a very good defense and he picked apart that defense when they were expecting passes to be coming. There were some runs mixed in but the Seahawk defense was playing pass coverage much of the second half. He did throw a pick but it really wasn't his fault the defensive lineman just mad a great play. He...(read more)

Browns 27 Rams 20

2007-10-29T00:42:00Z

The following are my thoughts on today's win over the Rams: Derek Anderson had another solid day throwing 3 td's and not turning the ball over he is showing that he is growing in leaps and bounds as a player. You can tell in some of his throws how his confidence is growing in leaps and bounds. It is scary to think how close he was to getting waived in training camp. The big negative for me in today's game was the way we started. If we want to be a playoff team we have to come out strong...(read more)

Tribe 7 Red Sox 3

2007-10-17T03:40:00Z

The Cleveland Indians took a commanding 3 games to 1 lead tonight with a 7-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Jacobs Field. Here are my thoughts on tonight's game: Paul Byrd came through win a solid start tonight. He was a big key in that he matched 0's with Wakefield and wouldn't let the Tribe fall behind. He really only had one inning in the first five where he fell into trouble. I thought he did get tired in the 6th inning but I think the 30 minutes sitting in the dugout had something...(read more)

Tribe 4 Red Sox 2

2007-10-16T04:43:00Z

The Cleveland Indians took a 2-1 series lead in their ALCS series with the Boston Red Sox tonight at Jacobs Field. Here are my thoughts on the game: Jake Westbrook was great tonight. He was locked in with getting numerous ground ball outs and worked out of a key jam in the second inning that was the turning point in the game. The key thing with this rotation is that your going to get professional outings out of all four starters. Another key in tonight's game was Jensen Lewis getting a big strikeout...(read more)

Tribe 13 Red Sox 6

2007-10-14T05:49:00Z

The Cleveland Indians pulled even tonight in their American League Championship Series tonight at Fenway Park. Here are my thoughts on tonight's big win: Fausto Carmona was not sharp tonight and only lasted 4 innings. I thought he had good stuff tonight but his command was lacking. He along with Rafael Perez but the bullpen in a bad spot but the club rose above it. After Perez came out of the game the bullpen was awesome tonight and was a huge difference in the game. Jensen Lewis, Betancourt...(read more)

Tribe 6 Yankees 4

2007-10-09T04:03:00Z

The Cleveland Indians are headed to the American League Championship Series as they eliminated the New York Yankees three games to one. Here are my thoughts on the game and the series win: Paul Byrd came through in a big way with a gritty pitching performance. He battled and kept the Yankees off balance with his guts and guile. He also proved Eric Wedge to be a genius for starting him in this big game. Grady got the club started tonight with a big lead off homer and it really set the tone as the...(read more)

Yankees 8 Tribe 4

2007-10-08T02:59:00Z

The Cleveland Indians lost Game 3 of their AL Division Series tonight at Yankee Stadium. Here are my thoughts on tonight's game: Jake Westbrook started and was effective for 4 innings before the Yankees caught up to him in the 5th inning. I know Jake was effective early but he still didn't throw enough of strikes. Trot Nixon got the surprise start tonight which I was OK with since he had great success against Clemens and game through with 2 hits and 2 RBI's but gave those runs back with...(read more)

Tribe 2 Yankees 1 (11 innings)

2007-10-06T20:01:00Z

The Cleveland Indians took a commanding two game lead tonight in their division series with the New York Yankees in heart stopping fashion. Here are my thoughts on the game: What a performance by Fausto Carmona tonight. You run out of adjectives when describing his performance. It is among the greatest pitching performances in a postseason game for a Cleveland Indians pitcher. It seemed he got stronger as the game went on and was determined not to let us lose tonight. I know we were feeble in our...(read more)

Tribe 12 Yankees 3

2007-10-05T03:28:00Z

The Cleveland Indians started the postseason in an outstanding way with a big 12-3 win over the Yankees tonight at Jacobs Field: CC wasn't great but was good enough tonight. He made enough pitches to keep the ball club in the game. I loved the way he kept his composure on a night when Bruce Froemming had a microscopic strike zone. By the way, Froemming it is about time you retire. It was absurd that this guy is a home plate umpire in the opening game of a playoff series. The Indians showed growth...(read more)

Browns 27 Ravens 13

2007-10-05T02:33:00Z

Here are my thoughts on Sunday's big win: The Browns were prepared right from the start of the game and Romeo and his whole coaching staff deserve all the accolades for this win. He should be lauded for winning two division games which is something he was criticized for in the past. I believe if he guides this team to a 7 or 8 win season and keeps his job he will look back at this win as a job saving win. Also, accolades should go to both coordinators. I called out Todd Grantham last week and...(read more)

Raiders 26 Browns 24

2007-09-28T03:33:00Z

The following are my thoughts on the Browns frustrating loss Sunday in Oakland: Derek Anderson didn't have a great game but after a shaky start did some very good things in the second half. He should be lauded for giving his team a chance to win. Especially impressive was how he led the team down the field with less than 2 minutes and no timeouts. Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow had great efforts in this game. Was really good to see Braylon put two solid efforts in a row. This is a sign of...(read more)

The following are my thoughts on Sunday's thrilling win over Cincinnati: Derek Anderson had a phenomenal game in his first start of the year. I thought it was the best single game performance by a Browns quarterback since Kelly Holcomb in the playoff game with Pittsburgh. The only difference he found a way to win the game. I don't mind that he takes chances when throwing the ball since he always seems to give his receiver a chance to make a play. Outstanding game plan and play calling my...(read more)
