The Indians suffered yet another late-inning loss Friday night as they fell to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-5. C.C. Sabathia went eight strong innings allowing three earned runs on eight hits, striking out six. He left a two run lead to the flimsy bullpen which once again showed us which area of the team needs an overhaul this offseason. Brian Sikorski came in to work the ninth inning and allowed a run on three hits to make it a 5-4 game. Jason Davis came in to attempt to save the game with runners on first and second and one out. However, Davis walked the first batter he faced on four pitches to load the bases. After getting ahead of Carl Crawford 0-2, Davis grooved a splitter and Crawford deposited it into right field for the win. Manager Eric Wedge continues to have trouble finding someone, anyone, to finish a game with the lead.

“We’re going to keep trying with guys,” Wedge said. “That’s just where we’re at.”

The bullpen fiasco ruined a breakout game from young third baseman Andy Marte, as he went 3-4 with two doubles and his very first major league home run. It’s a shame that blast had to come in a tough loss. As they say, better luck next year.

To go along with Drew Gooden, Anderson Varejao, and Donyell Marshall, forward Scot Pollard will be joining the Cavaliers.

Pollard averaged 3.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 45 games — 32 starts — last season for the Indiana Pacers, his third NBA team. The wild-haired, 6-foot-11, 265-pounder will give the Cavs more inside muscle and can provide needed energy along with Anderson Varejao.

“Adding Scot to our roster gives us more depth, size, toughness and experience,” Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said. “We believe Scot can be a valuable contributor to our team as we continue to build a championship level team here in Cleveland.”

The Cavs also traded young project Martynas Anriuskevicius to the Bulls for guard Eddie Basden.

Sounds like some decent moves. Pollard will add some playoff experience when it comes time for that next season. At 6′11′’, he should be serviceable when it comes to backing up Z at the center position as well. As far as Marty is concerned, he most likely never was going to pan out anyway so let’s see what this Basden guy can do for us in the backcourt.

Reghi firing aside, owner Dan Gilbert is continuing to build the Cavaliers into a first-class organization.

The team unveiled a model and architectural renderings of Cleveland Clinic Courts at a news conference Thursday. The approximately $21 million facility is set to be completed at this time next year.

The new state-of-the-art practice facility is yet another step taken by Ferry and Gilbert to build a comfortable working environment for the Cavaliers as well as to ensure LeBron’s satisfaction.

“We’re building an environment where people can excel,'’ Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said. “When you have a facility like this… I really believe it will affect the outcome, the winning, the championship culture that we’re building.'’
