• Best Indians Game. Best Indians.

  I'm sitting looking at the screen of my laptop watching a Canadian Soldier crawl across MuniLot.com. You have to love it. A few months ago I spouted off about how these Indians were my favorite of all the teams we've had since, well, the early...

• 2007 Tribe -- Best team since...

  This is my favorite Indians team of the past 30 years. And they might wind up the best. I know, they won't rival the 1995 squad for winning percentage. But this team has the edge in a lot of areas. They are unbelievably likeable. Sizemore, Martinez... Posted Jun 29 2007, 07:26 PM by MikeB with | with no comments Filed under: Indians

• In Praise of Milwaukee

  Major League I love the fact that Indians are in Milwaukee this week. OK, maybe _love_ is a little strong since it sucks to have the weather we've had. But of all the possible solutions to the problem I think going to Milwaukee was the best. Milwaukee...

• Why Drennan?

  It is amazing that Bruce Drennan, out of prison for only a couple weeks, has already lined up broadcast work on Sportstime Ohio and elsewhere. I don't say that because he is a convicted gambler covering professional sports -- nothing shocks me anymore...

• Random Notes...

  Todd Grantham could be named head coach at Michigan State on Monday. Let me express my opinion on that: IT WOULD SUCK. I really like Grantham as defensive coordinator. While we haven't been good against the run, Grantham has often managed to squeeze... Posted Nov 17 2006, 04:10 PM by MikeB with | with no comments Filed under: General, Browns, Indians

• Seasonal Notes, and the "Cash-Flush Rookie" Factor

  I think one thing PFT.com is failing to consider when talking about the "guaranteed money" flaw is that lots of NFL players do stupid things with their money, particularly top rookie draft picks who are flush with cash after spending a few years living...

• One Bum Shoulder, Fantasy Preview - AFC East Part I

  If I am not mistaken, this Sunday was the first time all year that the PD had zero articles on the Browns. Sure, there was the obligatory "Hey Tony!" blurb that never yeidls anythig interesting, but that was it. Yep, it's vacation time for NFL reporters...

• Random Notes

  Listening to WKNR's Kenny Roda Monday... you know, in a lot of ways Roda has been spot on with regards to Cleveland sports that past few years. It didn't take him long to turn on Butch Davis and recognize him as the dishonest blow-hard that he was. He...

• Note Action 6-21

  The Ravens have traded for safety Gerome Sapp, a guy they cut in 2004. While it's kind of funny that the Ravens have now apparently spent a 6th and a 7th rounder on this guy, what I find a little curious is this: The Ravens waived Sapp after the 2004...

• QB Thoughts and the Usual Blather

  So, as it turns out, Ruben Droughns wasn't guilty afterall of driving under the influence . Droughns passed field sobriety tests and then took a breathilizer where blew the legal _minimum_ for drunk driving. It sort of makes you wonder why police even...

• Grady Inked, NFL Notes

  I was out running this morning doing a "long run" for marathon training (today: 15 miles, and lots of ice and Advil) and was totally dragging, just gutting it out. Then on my headphones Bob Dibiasio mentions on WTAM that Sizemore has been inked to a long... Posted Mar 29 2006, 12:57 PM by MikeB with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Browns, Indians

• Crisp Deal Well-Done

  The more you think about the Tribe’s deals with Coco Crisp and others, the better they look. Really. Seriously. A couple things to consider: The Indians potentially got a future star in Marte. This is not news. But go with me for a second and just... Posted Feb 27 2006, 05:43 PM by MikeB with | with no comments Filed under: Indians

• This is the Playoffs

  This is the playoffs, right now. And tonight every AL contender lost! Hey, when it comes to the Indians (or the Browns), whatever it takes. The Tribe lucked out tonight to stay in a dead heat with the Yankess and Red Sox for the AL wild card. And since... Posted Feb 27 2006, 05:42 PM by MikeB with | with no comments Filed under: Indians

• BOONE

  I’ve been kind of avoiding posting on the Indians other than an offhand comment here and there within other posts. But I just saw Aaron Boone deliver one of the coolest come backs in baseball. Man on first, 2 outs, Mark Buerhle on a 3-1 count to... Posted Feb 27 2006, 05:42 PM by MikeB with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Indians

• The Tribe Has Formed

  This is the best complimentary article on the Indians I have read yet. Remember when so many people were complaining about Shapiro and his stupid rebuilding plan? That seems like a long time ago. You have to hand it to Mark Shapiro. He has, more or less... Posted Feb 27 2006, 05:42 PM by MikeB with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Indians
