C.C and the Indians did not expect this. Sabathia has proven over the past month that has the ability to step up and pitch like a legitimate No. 1 starter. However, he hit a little bump in the road Sunday night. Sabathia was lit up for seven runs in five innings, including giving up three home runs, as the Tribe fell 14-2 to the Angels in the rubber match of their series. Relievers Jason Davis and Guillermo Mota accounted for the other seven runs. On the other hand, Angel starter John Lackey gave up only two hits in seven innings and earned his first win in seven starts. First baseman Kendry Morales and cather Mike Napoli each had three RBI and four different Angels homered in the one-sided slugfest. The Tribe avoided the shutout thanks to back-to-back home runs by Victor Martinez and Ben Broussard in the ninth.

Unfortunately, the Indians are starting to make a habit out of these lopsided blowouts. They have lost by at least seven runs in each of their last three defeats. With the exception of the home run he gave up to Guerrero, Sabathia was throwing way too many balls over the middle of the plate and looked off his game all night long.

The NBA season is coming to a close and the Cleveland Cavaliers have to be happy with the success they had this year. The on-going question is who the Cavs add to their roster that will bring them to the next level. Cleveland displayed a weak inside game during the playoffs, leaving many to believe a power forward or even trading for an inside center is the recipe for success.

Terry Pluto gives an interesting perspective on what options will be there for Cleveland next year. He has a breakdown on point guards to power forwards and why the Cavs should consider each.

The Ohio State basketball program is giving football a run for their money in popularity and “big name” signings. Last year Coach Thad Matta came through with his promise to bring Buckeye hoops into the national spotlight by having the number one recruiting class in the country.

This year Coach Matta continues to have success, ranking number four in the country for 2007. The recent signing of Solon basketball standout Dallas Lauderdale has the Buckeyes excited for many years to come. This is a switch from the past, as Ohio would watch hometown talent leave the state for Indiana, Duke or North Carolina.

Coach Matta and football Coach Jim Tressel give Ohio State a combination of class and coaching that may be the best in the country.
