For the fourth year in a row, the Cleveland Indians have missed the playoffs. It’s something we Tribe fans are used to by now, but it’s also something we never quite get over—great as the virtually non-stop month of postseason baseball is every year, it’s always bittersweet when the Indians aren’t involved. So who should [...]

The Cleveland Indians’ 5-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers last night wasn’t a positive note on which to end the 2011 season, but it was an exceptionally fitting one. Just as the Indians got off to a hot start this year, keeping the Tigers’ potent offense off the board and scoring first. By the middle [...]

Indians’ Radio Man to Retire: Tune in Tonight for Mike Hegan’s Last Game

Hard as it is to believe, Game No. 162 has arrived. That means that, once the final out is made at Comerica Park tonight, the Cleveland Indians’ 2011 season will come to an end.

The 2011 MLB season is nearing its end, and for Cleveland fans, the wait ’til next year is about more than just the Tribe—it’ll be several months before we get to see any other teams playing the Indians again.

With Josh Tomlin now shut down for the rest of the season, someone had to take his place in the rotation for his scheduled start Saturday. Apparently, that someone is Mitch Talbot. Talbot, 27, had a rough start to the 2011 season, going 2-6 with a 6.33 ERA in 11 outings (to be fair, it [...]

If you’ve never seen Community, you’re missing out. While the first season wasn’t terribly special, during Season 2 (last year) the show established itself as the funniest non-animated show on TV. It’s no Arrested Development, but it’s probably the closest we’re likely to see for a while (except, of course, for Archer). This week, as Community returns [...]

The 2011 MLB season is winding down, and now that the Cleveland Indians are officially out of the playoff race the games don’t much matter (though they still have something to play for).
