In news that should surprise no Indians fan, Cleveland was shut down by Chicago 5-1. The loss is Cleveland’s 17th over their last 22 games. Chicago, in the meantime, is now 44-40, a mere two games behind Detroit for the division lead. Contrary to Cleveland’s downfall, the White Sox ...
Bait Shop – Part I
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 7/21/2009 — With the Trading Deadline a mere 10 days away and the status quo remaining inexplicably in vogue at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario despite a season that cannot find a bottom, I thought it would be a good time to break out a little series on players that could be moved prior to July 31st, ...
A Lazy Sunday and The End of an Era
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 8/2/2009 — Before rolling into a LS, it’s time for a not-so-brief look at the past week, not in terms of player movement (for now), but a big-picture look at the unquestioned shift in strategy for the Polo Shirt Mafia and their seemingly new outlook on contention. After what has been an obviously ...
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 ...
As the Dust Settles – Position Players
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 8/5/2009 — With the earth-moving trades of last week finally settling in as the Indians quickly moved past 2009 (and likely 2010) with their flurry of movement, perhaps now might be a good time to take a look at where we stand in terms of upper-level depth now residing in the Indians’ organization. Moves ...
Feeling Guilty for Tribe’s Failures
waitingfornextyear.com 7/6/2009 — Allow me to be self-indulgent for a minute. As I write this article today, I do truly know that the Cleveland Indians and their successes and failures aren’t truly about me. I am writing this post for what I am guessing are a lot of people who are fans of the Indians and feel the [...]
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 ...
Bait Shop – Part III: Fish or Cut Bait
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 7/29/2009 — In the throes of Trading Deadline week, after hitting on all those expendable pieces and parts (some of whom have already been assigned new laundry to wear), it’s finally time to talk about the two prettiest lures in the Indians’ tackle box of bait – it’s time to…gulp, talk a little CP Lee and ...
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 ...
June Told Tribe Fans Alot
deepleftfield.com 7/4/2009 — Prior to this month, your’s truly stated the importance of June for the Tribe. In seasons past, the Indians have been a solid second half team, but have also come up short due to the high mountains they have had to climb.
Before June, the Indians were still described as contenders in a ...
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 ...
