Indians win a series, which is something

April 22, 2013 – 12:39 pm

The Indians won a series over the weekend, after losing the first game. Winning two-of-three in Houston isn’t cause for fireworks, but it’s a step toward recovering from a staggering start. At 7-10, the Indians aren’t even in last place in their division. Staggered starts are magnified in April, but the losses count just as [...]

The Indians need to send their message to Chris Perez

August 21, 2012 – 12:03 pm

The Indians need to suspend Chris Perez. He earned it. He earned it by representing the Indians, the team, the organization and its fans in a classless, boorish way with that “discussion” with the fan in Oakland. (The video is here … view it knowing the language is inappropriate.) Perez needs to hear the team’s [...]

August 21, 2012 – 9:48 am

Fairness dictates that Chris Perez be allowed to have his say about what happened in Oakland with the boorish fan — especially in this crog … err … flo…err … blog. I was not in Oakland to interview him, so I’ll refer to stories with Perez’s comments here and here, written by folks who actually [...]

What in the world has happened to the Cleveland Indians?

August 8, 2012 – 10:50 am

What in the name of Moses Cleaveland has happened to the Cleveland Indians? Because what is happening defies logic. A team simply does not finish one-half game out of first place at the All-Star break, then fall apart less than a month later with 11 losses in a row, some embarrassing, some excruciating. Unless the [...]

Perez at All-Star Game: Indians need to win division, wild card coming from East

July 10, 2012 – 11:30 am

Chris Perez appeared at the All-Star Game media sessions Monday, and audio provided by the Indians showed Perez was his usual honest self. Asked the key for the Indians the second half, he said candidly: “Health.” “We can’t afford to have any injuries,” he said. “We can’t go out and spend a lot of money [...]

Comparing Cincinnati and Cleveland and baseball attendance

May 23, 2012 – 1:36 pm

Chris Perez got a standing ovation two days after blasting Cleveland folks for not showing up to see the Indians. That sent many folks scrambling to figure just what the issue with Indians attendance is.

Kenny Lofton kicks Chris Perez into Lake Erie

May 21, 2012 – 3:58 pm

Former Indians outfielder Kenny Lofton addressed the Chris Perez interview on 92.3 The Fan, and it’s worth a listen. Lofton basically put Perez on a batting tee and swatted him into Lake Erie. Among the highlights: “All of a sudden, you get to first place for a couple of days and you think you’re big [...]
