MLB Shocker: Santana Goes to New York Team!

Fortunately, it was the correct New York team. The somewhat less annoying one. The deal between the Mets and Twins, wherein New York gives their minor league system and a box of donuts to the Twins for the best pitcher in baseball (sorry, CC) is dependent on the Mets and Santana working out a contract...

Media Smart, That They Is

In the latest issue of the Orange & Brown Report magazine, I began an article the following way: Over the first thirty-nine years of my life, I have dealt with two unquestioned and absolute certainties. One, the inevitability of death. And, two, the taxing nature of urinating every fifteen minutes...

Tribe Signs Betancourt

Mark Shapiro hasn't added talent during the off-season like some of the Tribe's competition in the AL Central, but he's at least managing to lock up some of the players who helped the team get within a whisker of the World Series last year. The AP reports that the team has locked up RP Rafael...

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 80's. Still applies. The things that have changed...

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, Hafner and CC are all good guys. But the same can...

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 is a great city and is comparable to Cleveland...

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. I'm amazed because Drennan is not an entertaining...

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 out suprisingly good defensive performances. Sure...

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 in a dorm room and eating off the meal card at the...

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. In 2005 this wasn't too big of a deal. But this...
