Regarding Grady Sizemore and those photos … huh?

Posted on December 1, 2009 by Pat McManamon

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 →

That loud THUD is the Indians

Posted on May 20, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Well perhaps last night was the low point for the Cleveland Indians. Rock bottom. Cliff Lee pitched outstanding, but Kerry Wood – the guy brought in to solve the late-inning problems of a year ago – blew a save and … Continue reading →

A creative idea for the Indians

Posted on May 14, 2009 by Pat McManamon

The Indians like to bat Grady Sizemore in the leadoff spot. Well, they don't like it. They love it. For good reason. Sizemore gets on base a lot, drives in runs, runs well and is a pretty good leadoff hitter. … Continue reading →

I offered some thoughts yesterday on Grady Sizemore, and the main one was that his batting average is too low and his strikeouts too high for my taste. A good friend I've never actually met but have communicated with frequently, … Continue reading →

An Indians thought

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Isn't Grady Sizemore too good a hitter to be hitting .239? That's what we're told at least. Or have been told. This was a guy projected to be an AL MVP. He also has 23 strikeouts, second-highest on the team … Continue reading →

Indians win Thursday wasn't well-played, but it was a win

Posted on April 24, 2009 by Pat McManamon

I wasn't overly impressed with the Indians game Thursday, except that they won. Kansas City did the Indians a great favor by leaving in Gil Meche for one inning too many, then by bringing in a lefty Grady Sizemore could … Continue reading →

Maybe this jumpstarts the Indians

Posted on April 16, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Good for the Indians. They took what could have been a very difficult setting – the first real game in the new Yankee Stadium against CC Sabathia – and turned it into an easy win. Grady Sizemore hit a grand … Continue reading →
