New Indians manager Manny Acta met with the media at baseball's winter meetings in Indianapolis this past week. Obviously, I was not there, but MLB provided a transcript of the interview. Here are a few highlights from Acta, and he … Continue reading
Regarding Grady Sizemore and those photos … huh?
Now that Christmas is here I think I'll get that special someone a naked photo of me with a certain body part behind a coffee cup. Send her running and screaming from the room, that's what it'd do. I mean … Continue reading
Three make the top 100
Grady Sizemore ranks 38, Victor Martinez 51, and Cliff Lee 61 on Joe Posnanski’s list of the top 100 players in baseball. I'd have Sizemore lower and Lee higher. Perhaps they should have swapped spots.
