Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Tribe starter Jeremy Sowers pitches five solid innings, then when he faces the lineup the third time through, batting practice breaks out. The White Sox finished off a sweep of the sad sack Indians, who currently have that look; the look of a team ...
The Song Remains the Same
waitingfornextyear.com 7/8/2009 — I’m gonna write something I write every five days. If it seems regurgitated, that’s because it is. Last night Jeremy Sowers got to the opponent’s third time around in the order and imploded. He left the game in the sixth inning leaving the bases loaded and one out. The bullpen ...
Game #80: Sowers Back to Being, Well - Sowers, as Indians Swept in 6-2 Loss
indiansconfidential.com 7/2/2009 —
There was a slight ray of hope after watching Jeremy Sowers last Friday set down the Cincinnati Reds at Progressive Field. Sowers didn’t have that usual mid-game slump, and finally showed that he could throw more than five good innings of baseball. It was back to reality on Wednesday ...

What To Watch For
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 7/1/2009 — At the risk of bowing to the ESPNification of sports news with that title (of which I recently heard Fox Sports’ Andrew Siciliano refer to as “Bristol Red”, which has a nice Kremlinesque feel to it in terms of dictating what’s relevant to the average consumer by packaging sports information in ...
Staying the Course…But What Course?
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 7/7/2009 — With the news coming on Sunday from Mark Shapiro that The Atomic Wedgie and his coaching staff will finish out the season, I’m surprised at the reaction that I’m feeling…it’s not anger or rage or even an urge to release vitriolic condemnation on the decision. Rather, all I feel is ...
How Much Longer For Wedge?
deepleftfield.com 6/26/2009 — Eric Wedge's Indians have been stuck in last place for most of the season.
When analyzing a manager’s job status, measurements go beyond the wins and losses. It’s how the team loses. What talents does the team have? How does the team respond to the manager as a motivator?

The Blame Game
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 6/23/2009 — As Eric Wedge apparently lives to manage another day and voices on each side of the debate as to whether he is to blame (or how much blame can be placed on him) for the mess of the 2009 season on top of the 2008 season, the question comes rattling from the rooftops – who is to blame for the ...
Tribe Takes Two of Three and The Grind Continues On
waitingfornextyear.com 7/6/2009 — How about them apples Tribe fans? The real story of the weekend was not the Indians taking two of three from the Oakland A’s. No, the real story were the quotes from GM Mark Shapiro saying that manager Eric Wedge and his staff is safe for the rest of the season. “As I said all [...]
Bizzaro Indians Top White Sox 10-8
waitingfornextyear.com 7/10/2009 — Games like yesterday’s White Sox-Indians dual are the reason why the baseball season is as long as it is. Thinking is that the cream rises to the top after a 162-game season. Fluke wins and overachieving usually reverts to the mean after so long. And if you don’t think last night ...
