No, you didn't read the title wrong, nor am I going crazy. In fact, the reality of the title just struck me the other day as I was perusing a statistics page. See, here's the thing, lost in all the criticism Matt Kemp gets for his demeanor, or his attitude, or for striking out, or for losing fly   more...

Anthony Reyes had a short night yet his pitch count was rather low. What is Eric Wedge up to now? Plus Victor Martinez has a good night in Buffalo, Grady Sizemore is busting out of his slump and Ryan Garko is knocking in a whole lot of runs for the Cleveland Indians.

While there was an inkling of thought that Anaheim's Joe Saunders and his 12 wins would be starting for the AL squad in the upcoming All-Star game, a report at Sports Illustrated gives the nod to our very own Cliff Lee. And deservedly so. Cliff Lee, who had to fight for a job in Cleveland's   more...

You know me and my random thoughts that seem to go in many tangeants. Well it seems that I have a lot of things to talk about during the All-Star Break but unfortunately nothing of great substance. So here's a few quick hits to let you know what's going on at The BearDown during the slowest   more...

The groundwork appears to be laid for a trade of C.C. Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers.Milwaukee drafted Matt LaPorta with the seventh overall pick in the 2007 draft, and he appears to be the centerpiece of this possible trade. The Brewers would hate to part with him, but they want to win   more...

Do we here at Waiting For Next Year tend to focus much nihilism towards our professional play-calling directors? Perhaps. And often times, it may be laced with a dab of frustration that can lead to unwarrented blame. It is a secret to no one that the Cavaliers' Mike Brown was a frequent target   more...

Progressive Field may no longer be "Jacobs." There may not be as many sold out games as their once was. Heck, you may only see a win 50 percent of the time - if you're lucky. But one thing that you do get with "The Prog" is the consistent amount of promotions. The same promotions that placed   more...

With the Tribe dropping their seventh straight game yesterday, it may be a safe assumption that the C.C. Sabathia trade is the first of what will likely be a handful of deals that the Indians make before the trade deadline at the end of this month. Trading our ace for the Brewers' top prospect is   more...

Let me start by saying I understand perfectly well that the Tribe had to trade CC Sabathia.The season was over almost before it started, though most of us didn't realize it until two or three weeks ago. So, with the Tribe unable to get his double-C on a dotted line, the big man had to go.Even   more...

Had this post been made a day ago, it likely would have been littered with talks of former Tribe players coming back to haunt us as well as the bullpen blowing yet another lead. Instead, we get to put two games in to one post, and in turn, we get to talk about how the Indians have now came out on   more...

Is Eric Wedge being deceptive, or making excuses?

Yankee Stadium is 314 feet down the right field line and 318 down the left field line, so there's a very slight advantage to left-handed hitters. Due to how shallow it is down the lines, line drive hitters will have a bit of an advantage as well.[...]With an exception to Guerrero, it appears that   more...
