Cleveland Indians

Indians already making changes

The Cleveland Indians wasted no time in picking up the options of Jake Westbrook and Casey Blake. This news coming along with the not surprising news that Aaron Boone has been released. Westbrook is a strong pitcher that Cleveland should contemplate signing to a multi-year deal. Blake came back strong this year […]

Wedge should be replaced

The Cleveland Indians finished the season on a high, but useless note. The Indians started this year with tons of promise and expectations. The fans watched helplessly as manager Eric Wedge, coached this team out of contention.
I believe Wedge is a poor judge of talent and a bad game day coach. […]

Tribe cruises to another victory

The Indians got three solo home runs, two by Casey Blake, as they wiped away the Devil Rays for the third straight night. The teams had to endure another rain delay but it didn’t seem to matter as the Tribe eased to a 6-1 win. Ryan Garko, Victor Martinez, and Blake all had […]

Indians walk to victory

The Tribe barely had to take the bat off of their shoulders to win this one. With the game tied at 1 in the bottom of the ninth, all the Indians had to do was watch as two Tampa Bay relievers combined to walk four batters to give the Tribe a 2-1 win. […]

Byrd wins, but frustrated with himself

Paul Byrd was able to salvage a bad month by winning his last start of the season Thursday. Despite the win, Byrd was clearly unhappy and disappointed with the way he has pitched this season and wants to do all he can to fix whatever was wrong. He finished the season 10-9 with […]

Tribe stays hot

The Indians dug themselves out of an early hole and prevailed in a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays Thursday night. Paul Byrd had a rocky start, allowing the Rays to jump out to a 4-0 lead before Andy Marte’s two-run blast cut the deficit in half in the fifth inning. […]

Pluto: Keep Garko at first base in 2007

Terry Pluto makes a strong argument that the Indians don’t need to mess around with first base for next season. Ryan Garko fits their needs very well.

Rain puts damper on sweep hopes

Thirty-one runs the Indians had scored in their previous three games. They could only manage one on Wednesday night and it resulted in a 2-1 rain-shortened loss to the White Sox. The run came on an Andy Marte homer, one of two Indian hits on the night. The game failed to make […]

Sabathia shuts door on Chicago

C.C Sabathia and Ryan Garko starred in the Indians’ 6-0 shutout over the White Sox Tuesday night. In his final start of the season, Sabathia went out with a bang, throwing eight scoreless innings and striking out 11. He left a formidable impression with Tribe fans and demonstrated the kind of ace we […]

Record-setting night at the Jake

Not only did the Indians trounce the White Sox 14-1 Monday night and officially put an end to their playoff hopes, they put themselves in the record books doing so with a Casey Blake grand slam. The Tribe now have hit 14 grand slams on the year, which ties a single-season record set by […]
