When Joba Chamberlain finished off a one-two-three eighth inning by striking out David Dellucci Thursday at Yankee Stadium he let out a howl of delight and pumped his fist, more than a few times.The "incident" went virtually unnoticed by the Cleveland media, from what I can tell from my   more...

The game story in the New York Post today is a classic example of the mindset of the Yankees, their fans and the reporters that cover the team. Two classic components of the Yankee attitude are on display.1.) Everyone wants to be a Yankee under any circumstances - no questions asked. 2.) The   more...

Joe Borowski injury update
Original Story: http://tribetimereport.blogspot.com/2008....

Joe Borowski has been placed on the DL with a right triceps strain (and I pulled my gluteus spending too much time on the computer).Convenient or actual, Borowski has an injury and won't be coming out of the Tribe bullpen in the ninth inning - at least for a while.So who will?The consensus in the   more...

If you had told me before the Indians' final regular season series ever at Yankees Stadium that the Tribe would take two out of three, I'm quite sure I would have taken that deal.With two games in the bag heading into this afternoon I tried to tell myself that a win today would be the "eating it   more...

I don't want to say watching the Indians offense is torture, but Dick Cheney has been seen in the scouting section the last two days at the Metrodome making tapes for use at Guantanamo.Who in the Tribe's lineup do you want to see come to the plate in a clutch situation?Who in the Tribe's lineup do   more...

Yankee fans and the reporters who follow their team have a long memory, and a strong penchant for whining.You probably won't be surprised to note that the folks here in the Big Apple are still worried about midges.A couple of blasts - by Jhonny Peralta and Franklin Gutierrez - keyed the Tribe to a   more...

Lost in the mediocre start to the season that the Indians have given their fans is the insanely good start Cliff Lee has brought to his team. This is the same Cliff Lee who spent part of the season last year back in the minor leagues because of his up and down, but mostly down performances for a   more...

This is a return to yester-year where these pitchers were absolutely running this league. Not so much this year, but are things ready to change back into reality? I have a feeling the glass slipper might just find a foot or two this coming week. It's all American League match-ups in my games of the   more...
