Tribe sweeps Baltimore

August 22, 2005 /

This is starting to be really fun. The Tribe completed a sweep of the Orioles with a 5-1 victory at the Jake, pulling them to within a half game of the Wild Card lead. They now move on to Tampa Bay where hopefully they will avenge last week’s sweep by the Devil Rays.

C. C. is getting back to normal after discovering that he was tipping off his pitches. With the emergence of Sabathia, the Tribe has one of the best staffs in baseball, putting them in great shape to claim the Wild Card and then do some real damage in the payoffs.

Browns trade Davis to Patriots

August 22, 2005 /

The Browns traded wide receiver Andre’ Davis to the New England Patriots for an undisclosed draft pick. ESPN is reporting that the pick is a fifth-rounder in the 2006 draft.

The move seems to make sense for the Browns, though I would have liked to see them get a 4th or 3rd round pick. With the emergence of Antonio Bryant and the selection of Braylon Edwards, the Browns are in great shape at the wide receiver position. Dennis Northcutt also gives them a very good third receiver and Josh Cribbs looks excellent as the new kickoff returner.

Buckeyes will rely on Ginn

August 22, 2005 /

ESPN.com has a cool profile on Ted Ginn, Jr. For all the hype that Reggie Bush is getting heading into the college football season, Pat Ford points out that Ginn might steal Bush’s thunder as the most exciting player this season. Bush is a great player, but I think Ginn will assert himself as the best player in college football and lead the Buckeyes to a great season.

Tribe takes Texas series

August 18, 2005 /

The Tribe bounced back this afternoon with a 9-4 victory over the Rangers to take the series and move within two and a half games of the A’s for the Wild Card.

The race is on folks. In many ways this has been a frustrating season, but the fact is this team is in the hunt in the middle of August. They are contenders, and frankly, with their pitching, if they make the playoffs they could be very dangerous. It should be a fun ride.

Mickens signs with Browns

August 18, 2005 /

Veteran cornerback Ray Mickens signed a one-year contract with the Browns, who are suddenly thin at the cornerback position after Michael Leehan came up with a pulled hamstring. Daylon McCutchen has yet to practice during training camp due to headaches and dizziness, so Savage and Crennel felt the need to make this move.

As for the defense as a whole, I think everyone is jumping the gun with all the concern over the performance in the first preseason game. Relax. It’s early. Give Crennel time to teach his system to the players.
