5-30-09 Morning RoundUp

May 30, 2009

Searching for No. 2

April 28, 2009

This is not the first time manager Eric Wedge has searched for an effective hitter to bat second in the Indians’ lineup. In fact, it has been an issue for the past few seasons.

April 9, 2009

April 3, 2009

Good riddance, Goodyear. At least that’s the tone coming out of spring training. Appropriately, the Indians ended their 30-game stay by struggling mightily in a 9-8 loss to the Cubs Thursday. This time it was Anthony Reyes turn to get roughed up. He gave up seven runs (six earned) on six hits in two innings, [...]
