“We’re counting on the Big U.” -Manny Acta According to Indians beat for the PD, Paul Hoynes, this is what manager Manny Acta said prior to the game yesterday regarding the 12 innings of needed effort put into the win the night before by Tribe relievers. 12 innings of work from a 6 man crew, [...]
As you’ve probably heard, Marvel recently introduced Miles Morales, the half-black, half-Hispanic (and possibly gay) Spiderman to replace the recently deceased Peter Parker in its latest incarnation of the legend, Ultimate Spiderman. The Washington Post article asserts that Marvel’s decision reflects an attempt to be forward-thinking about what American superheroes should look like, as well as a response to the [...]
Do you know what I have no patience for? Waiting. Seriously. Pft. I have not the time for it. After last night…well, see where I’m going with this? The twist on the ‘War and Peace’ epic long win of the Indians from yesterday that ended so late it was early this morning, is that on [...]
With a huge three game home series beginning tonight against the Central’s 1st place team the Detroit Tigers, it cannot be more stressed just how important playing well within the division will be for the Tribe these last 50 games that remain. Of course having 38 of those 50 games be against their Central rivals [...]
What a vacation. Haven’t had one in a while because, well, a tip jar at a coffee shop doesn’t get much of anything if you aren’t behind it flashing a smile. Honestly it doesn’t get much of anything anyway. Regardless, I currently mostly live off of one (as well as equal parts lack of sleep [...]
Tonight is the night. Ubaldo. I don’t know what I like more, the fact that our ace Justin Masterson pitched another fine game against Boston stopping a slide (and got the win to show for it, which has been rare), or that he’s now going to be followed in the rotation by another ace, Mr. [...]
Getting a little tired of Jacoby Ellsbury. It’s one thing to see the Tribe dancing around like Jiffy Pop at home plate after a walk off, but two nights in a row from the same guy in Boston and turnabout certainly doesn’t feel like fair play. Especially when it’s Boston. They don’t even know how [...]
Ever wonder about the power of ESPN? Seen many Pittsburgh Pirates hats around all of sudden? Especially on people not old enough to have been more than 5 years old the last time the team had a winning record 19 years ago in 1992? Five, I’ve seen five people over the last two weeks wearing [...]
Maybe I’ll call this new DC Show website feature, ‘The Daily Feed’. ‘The Daily Word’? Or, how about I go literary with it -or too literary- and call it ‘Circadian Note’? Or worse, ‘Quotidian Report’. OK, maybe I should just go easy at first and list each day under its specific date. Whatever this column [...]
So the Indians went out and took a gamble. Wow. Seriously, who saw that coming? The Fukudome deal is a non issue. The Cubs are just trying to get rid of anyone old and with a big salary, and they sure can’t get anyone to take Soriano and his $18 mill a year. Anyone out [...]
