As usual, Bob, it's a time issue for me, too. I'm happy as hell that the Indians are back in the post-season mix and am absolutely stunned they ended with the...
So when Rowski will blow a save against the Yankees, it will be sufficient to point to Hoffman to say "see, having a top-notch closer doesn't help!" Gus...

Any comparison between Joe Borowski and Trevor Hoffman is pretty ludicrous. Frankly, I'd be kinda giddy just to get to the point where the Indians are even IN...

Even if Paul Byrd isn't the best, he does appear to always be focused, and tries as hard as anyone to give an good honest effort. And this year, that has...

I wish I had Evan's confidence; I just don't see how we avoid losing three out of five. The Yankees will almost surely beat one of C C or Fausto at least once;...
