If you haven’t caught on yet, I’m not a big preseason football guy. I love the NFL and enjoy its season more than any other sport’s regular season (due to its brevity and once a week nature mostly), I just can’t get real excited about practicing for it. I mean I watch D-league games of [...]
Well, are you ready for some football? We’re not quite yet to that point when this show will finally join all others “all ready in progress” in the parade of ad nauseam coverage for the NFL. But on a day when you were asked “where were you during earthquake?” and “did you feel it?” at [...]
“There’s a lot of people depending upon me to be awesome.” – Richard Patrick (of the band Filter) Last week here in his home town, Dick P. said that, with an all seriousness tone about it, then went out and played a show to a barren venue of only 100 people. Now you could see [...]
It’s both here and there tonight. With Detroit that is. On one hand it’s of something extremely relevant, and on the other, it’s only practice. What’s most silly about the relative irrelevant affair, is that even with exhibition as its qualifier it still comes with a jingle… So at least there’s that. Really though, about [...]
Ask, and ye shall receive. I read that somewhere before, and had I known that all I need do is ask that Fausto have the game of his year in facing the White Sox last night (from yesterday’s report)…well, let’s just say I couldn’t be happier that I did. An entire bullpen blown from a 14 [...]
An acknowledged poor and quick outing by your newest ace followed by 8 more hurlers called in for relief to an all told surrendering of 22 hits. Your boomsticks going off on a hair trigger missing the target to a tally of having struck out an almost incomprehensible 19 times. 2 argued to no avail blown calls gone against [...]
Today starts the hard push of 45 games in 44 days for the Tribe. hooray. Well, at least they start it while being the second youngest team in baseball (here’s to those young legs, arms and backs), and only 2 games out of 1st place in the Central. And big thanks (and congrats) to former [...]
Justin Verlander. So the guy is pretty good, huh? My neck hurts from turning empty handed on that fastball, my knees ache from bending out of the path of his curve to see it only then bend in for a strike, and my pride stings from charging in front of that “it’s not even fair” [...]
“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, [...]
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 [...]
