I'm not sure what has gotten into Paul Byrd, but if this is a showcase, he is doing one heck of a good job. He and Cliff Lee combined for 17 innings of two-run ball, finishing off the three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. While Lee nailed down his 16th win of the season, Byrd was the man who   more...

The Cleveland Indians put a 1-9 effort forth in beating the Kansas City Royals. Grady Sizemore, Ryan Garko and Shin-Soo Choo go deep and Anthony Reyes turns in another decent start. Plus, has Rafael Betancourt turned a corner?

Tribe GM Mark Shapiro says finding a a closer is likely to be the Tribe's top priority this winter, that the closer is most likely not currently in-house and that he hopes to sign a free agent - but not anyone at the top of the free-agent list.He also said Jhonny Peralta is not likely to be moved   more...

Cliff Lee shuts down Canada once again and the Cleveland Indians garner a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. Ryan Garko and Shin-Soo Choo have good days in support.

Though it didn't start off as planned, the Tribe managed to pull things together and take another series. While the Seattle Mariners are not exactly the Tampa Bay Rays (at least pre-losing streak), I'm willing to take a win whenever I can get it.There are plenty of highs and lows to discuss, so   more...

Okay, get ready to mark this one down in the "are you kidding me?" column.It wasn't all that long ago that we were the GM for Shin-Soo Choo, where more than 80 percent(!) of you said to either let him ride, or give him a contract extension. He's since started hitting the ball very well; getting on   more...

Why Shin-Soo Choo's military commitment could interrupt his career with the Cleveland Indians, plus more Casey Blake chatter and could Aaron Laffey be sent down come Saturday? And Paul Byrd's battle with the HGH controversy.

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner is back in Cleveland after the death of his father and he swung a bat a few times. Victor Martinez has joined the team on its nine game road trip and Paul Byrd won't use his limited no-trade clause if the Tribe were to deal him.

Not that the Indians were winning the game at the time, but an eight-run eighthinning sure didn't help matters much. Not long after I have spent the majority of this month praising his work, Rafael Perez went "Masa" on us and gave up three earned runs without even recording an out. Eddie Mujica   more...

The Cleveland Indians lost a good old fashioned offensive battle against the Los Angeles Angels. Ryan Garko's big day wasn't enough to overcome the struggles of the Tribe pitching staff and starter Aaron Laffey.

The Cleveland Indians returned from the break and things did not go well for Aaron Laffey. Eric Wedge has an idea for the All-Star game, the real reason behind Shin-Soo Choo's double ear flapped helmet, and Grady Sizemore returns to his old stomping grounds.

With another inspired and inspiring performance tonight at Progressive Field the Indians find themselves in the basement of the A.L. Central.If not for the Seattle Mariners, the Tribe would be the worst team in the A.L. right now.Banging out four big hits against Barry Zito - of all people - over 6   more...

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Jeremy Sowers picked up his first major league win since May of 2007 and the Indians beat the Seattle Mariners 9-6. Shin-Soo Choo went deep against his former organization and Jhonny Peralta collected his 50th RBI of the year.

Indians 13 Rays 2 (Box)The Indians had lost 10 straight games. Think about that for a second. They hadn't won a baseball game since June 27th when they beat the Reds. They have suffered 3 consecutive sweeps. Tampa Bay has the best record in the league. No brainer right?That's why this is baseball I   more...
