Now is no time to quit

July 10, 2009

DETROIT: Why not call it a season after the All-Star Game?
Forfeit the rest of the games and tell the guys, “Don’t fall in any holes over the winter; eat your granola, and see you in Goodyear next spring.”

April 1, 2009 Morning Roundup

April 1, 2009

Maybe the Indians should have kept a secret from Scott Lewis?
Maybe they should have never told him he will start the season in the big league rotation?
He hasn’t taken the news so well.
In his last two outings since being named a starter, Lewis has been roughed up, including yesterday’s 10 runs on 13 hits [...]

Deceptive outing for Carmona

March 9, 2009

Fausto Carmona gave up three runs and five hits in three innings, but it was really better than that.
