As the Indians season rolls on and the calendar keeps flipping, a dichotomy has emerged within me in terms of how I am viewing this evolving 2009 season. On one hand (call it my head), I see an eminently flawed team, now trying to overcome injury and stick around long enough to make their ...
Insult, Then Injury
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 6/3/2009 — As the Indians’ nightmarish season rolls on, when not even the midges could save them from Justin Chamberlain’s best start of the season, the newest development in the tumble down the hill is…injuries! With Grady’s elbow finally sending him to the shelf, with El Capitan taking one off of the ...
A Lazy Sunday Spent Looking for Arms
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 5/24/2009 — Looking across Lake Chautauqua on this fine Memorial Day Weekend and thinking again about LeShot, let’s just get going on a Lazy Sunday before I become a viable option for the Indians’ rotation: The biggest revelation of the week (other than the fact that the Indians’ bullpen now boasts Greg ...
Time for Some Action
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 6/25/2009 — Maybe Wedge is staying, maybe Wedge is going – who knows at this point – but if he stays, if he goes, there’s no question that the time “to talk of many things, of shoes and ships…” has long since passed and internal meetings that should have been initiated when this team was 14-26 on May 19th ...
Lazy Sunday - The Aftermath
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 6/21/2009 — Walking out of Wrigley Field, head hanging for the second straight day as Cubs’ fans alternately told me to “go back to Cleveland” and commiserated with my experiences of the last two days in a feeling that they know all too well, the words were inescapable in my head…it’s over. Whatever hope ...
Holding Onto The Ladder
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 6/10/2009 — Is anyone else finding themselves going from soaring highs to abysmal lows with this Indians’ team from day to day, with very little in-between ground? After a solid win in which the team puts it all together, the thought process enters my mind that the eminently winnable AL Central looks ...
However Beautiful the Strategy
letsgotribe.com 6/22/2009 — The season is over. We've had some dreadful luck, but a reversal of fortune by itself couldn't change the commanding position our rivals cumulatively hold over us. We're five games behind Chicago and no better than they are, in terms of runs ...
Lazy Sunday Trying to Tread Water
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 6/7/2009 — One step forward and two steps back is certainly not the way to make up ground in a race, but the Indians find themselves once again simply trying to tread water in an increasingly winnable AL Central…just maybe not winnable for them the way that injuries have forced their complementary ...
Breaking up is hard to do
bfloblog.wnymedia.net 5/21/2009 — I went to my first professional baseball game when I was eight years old. My best-friends Dad lived in Cleveland at the time, so our Dad’s decided to take us boys on a trip to see the Indians one weekend.
I have the most vivid memories of ...
Break in the Waves
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 5/27/2009 — When the Indians began their rebuilding phase in earnest in late June of 2002, trading Bartolo Colon to the Montreal Expos for a slew of prospects, Indians’ GM Mark Shapiro talked up the idea of hitting the fast-forward button on the rebuilding process, attempting to shorten the usual length ...
A Look Back at A Look Ahead
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 7/14/2009 — Since I’m not one of these All-Star Game guys and couldn’t care less about the Home Run Derby or anything associated with it and as I’m going to venture to say that a “where do we stand now” piece is not going to be anything different than what’s been posted here for the last month, I thought ...
