After feasting on National League teams during their nine-game winning streak, the Tribe is coming back down to earth after suffering a 9-2 beating by the Red Sox. Kevin Millwood was the victim tonight and the Tribe’s offense couldn’t make it interesting like they did the night before.

Real Sports on HBO is one of the best programs on television, and possibly the best news magazine as well. So it’s not good news to hear that Real Sports will be doing a feature premiering at 10 PM tonight on the Ohio State basketball program. The segment is called “The Nanny” and it tracks the problems surrounding Boban Savovic that led to the firing of Coach O’Brien. Should be interesting.

Hi name usually brings back terrible memories for Cavs fans as they consider the infamous trade that sent Ron Harper packing years ago. You can’t blame Danny Ferry for that deal, but many fans resented him as his salary hung like an anchor for years on this franchise. Now, to his credit, it appears that Dan Gilbert is not letting this history stop him from considering Ferry as his next GM. Everyone seems to think this is a done deal, and frankly it doesn’t seem like a bad idea. He’s still very young, but he’s had the benefit of being a part of the best organization in basketball. It would also reunite Ferry with Mike Brown. Let’s see what happens.

There have been rumors that Crennell hasn’t been overwelmed with Charlie Frye in workouts so far. Frye apparantly has been improving as he gets more comfortable, but his performance and lack of experience convinced the Browns that they needed an experienced backup. So they went out and signed Doug Johnson who has experience with the Falcons and Titans. I don’t know much this guy, but it seems like a prudent move. Savage has come out and said that Frye has never been a great practice player so they are not concerned, yet they naturally felt some insurance was needed, particularly in light of Dilfer’s history of injuries.

The Tribe fought back hard, but the Red Sox won a 10-9 slugfest by beating up on C.C. Sabathia. It was a fun game for anyone who likes offense, but it was frustrating to watch C.C. deliver his second straight bad outing. Let’s see if the Tribe can bounce back tonight and even up the series.
