Would JoBo have a job if he weren't a "closer"?

A thought occurred to me in the wee hours of the morning as I drifted off to sleep while counting Angels rounding the bases: Would Joe Borowski even have a job if he weren't a "closer"? This seems an odd question to ask of The 2007 American League Leader In Saves And Don't You Forget...

Sooper Dooper 2008 Detroit Tigers Preview

If you, dear reader, are anything like the national media, you have spent the baseball offseason basking in the glow of the Jamey Carroll trade and lamenting that the Euclid corridor project will wreak havoc on the World Series parade route, all while not giving the Detroit Tigers a second thought. Nevertheless...

Hillary baseball card a hit?

I haven't posted anything up in a while that has to do with baseball cards for quite a while, but I couldn't resist this one...and this card makes the Rudy Guiliani Topps card look quite tame in comparison. Upper Deck randomly inserted cards featuring each of the Presidential hopefuls in caracature...

Radical Realignment

I can't remember whether it was Terry Pluto, Les Levine, or someone else altogether, but in the last week or so, they tucked a little nugget into a "notes" story that stated that Cleveland Indians owner Larry Dolan favors "radical realignment" that would put the Tribe in the same...

"Rich, Talented, and Vulnerable": Expounding on the PD's Expose

(Note: I don't know how to make an accent mark over the "e", but the title is using the word "expose" in the "investigative report" sense and not the "Pee Wee Herman" sense.) On Sunday, January 20, the Plain Dealer ran a very scary piece titled "Rich,...

Entire Indians schedule in HD for ‘08

The Indians announced on Monday that all of their games will be broadcast in HD for the 2008 season. That means Sports Time Ohio, WKYC, and their Fox game of the week appearances will all go the extra mile for the fans this year.

The winners of the derby to rename the Jake is Progressive Insurance. The Cleveland based company will be paying an average of $3.6 million a year for the next 16 years for the naming rights.

So Who Should Be in the Next Hall of Fame Class?

With us Browns fans being held hostage by the Tennessee Titans for a few more days and another baseball Hall of Fame class on the verge of being announced, I figured now would be a good time to talk about this year's ballot. To be honest the Titans are causing widespread alcoholism for fans all around...

Pete Rose thinks he's got it all figured out

Apparently Pete Rose thinks he is now a moral authority for the rest of baseball in claiming that drugs are "making a mockery" of the sport. God help us. Last night on Dennis Miller’s show on the Vs network, Rose claimed he’s an “alter boy” compared to the players in the steroid era. He also...

Did the Mitchell Investigation Really Teach Us Anything?

Wow, who would have known just how right on Jose Canseco had been all along. That's right, the same guy who is currently selling is 2000 Yankees World Series ring for a mere $40,000 on his website is also the same guy we can thank for helping spur the investigation that brought us the visual of a...
