May 1, 2014Whitner on the ‘Hitner’ name. Via Fox Sports Ohio’s Fred Greetham: “I don’t think it’s a possibility. I don’t want to change all my credit cards, mortgages and everything. It’s a lot of paperwork for one letter.”

With the loss tonight, the #Indians fall 6 games below .500 (11-17) for the first time in the Terry Francona era

The only positivity I can find in the Indians right now?
They're off tomorrow.

Desmond Bryant is back. Remember this guy? The Browns signed former Raider Desmond Bryant to a five-year $34 million deal with $15 million guaranteed last offseason. He missed the final four games of the season with serious heart complications.
Following heart surgery, he’s back in practice this week and healthy again. He spoke with reporters following practice yesterday. “The scariest part was right when it would happen, I would feel like I had a fast heart rate,” Bryant said. “And the next thing I know I was going to the hospital.”

Cavs issues. Some strong articles from the Cavs blogosphere over the past week.
Fear The Sword’s Ryan Mourton wrote about the defensive improvements the team made in 2013-14. But what’s next? Can this current roster improve much more?
Right Down Euclid’s Trevor Magnotti also looked at offensive and defensive film and where the Cavs can schematically improve next season. Really good stuff here.

Akron yodeling. Finally, we’ll conclude with this video from The University of Akron: Their athletic director and football coach yodeling. It’s a Jimmy Fallon tradition.

“Unfinished Business”: the eradication of any residual hopes we may be harboring?
Well, glad to at least see the dumpster pic getting some use, post-Banner era.
The Indians look and are playing worse then even I could have predicted. Still time to turn this thing around although I must admit I kept saying the same thing this past season for the Cavaliers as well.
Yeah, it’s awful. Imagine if the Browns were 1-2. We’d call the season over. The Indians are almost in that bad a situation.
I’m glad you are so cheerily optimistic. New meds? Poor record and poor play in every aspect of the game aside, maybe I’m missing the glaring bright spots in the season so far. Please educate us as to how it’s good…
while it is true that it is only end of April standings, the fact that Detroit started well and we started poorly is not a good thing. They are above .600 and we are below .400 for the month. If Detroit plays to their potential, then we cannot throw away any more months.
Terrible to throw away the mulligan this early.
Well aren’t you pleasant. If pictures of dumpster fires get you through your day, I won’t keep that from you.
“how it’s good”
Where did I say this? I said it’s awful. Everyone here knows the Browns couldn’t possibly climb out of a 1-2 hole, and this is almost that bad!
I hate to say it, but if Detroit plays to their potential, I’m not sure our best could ever have caught them. We were always in a position to need them to play more like the 88 win 2012 version than the 2011 or 2013 teams.
There are no mulligans, and they do have to play considerably better. But a bad week in April doesn’t make a season.
And I’ll place a heavy bet that by the end of the season the difference between their opponents BABIP w/ RISP will no longer be 100 points higher than the Indians’ BABIP w/ RISP.
In case you missed it, the pic wasn’t mine. Go bother Jacob or the original poster. Or go kick some puppies.
Your misdirected aggression here aside, we generally don’t see eye to eye. So from now on, why don’t you stay on your side of the playground. In other words, stay off my posts & I’ll do the same.
by mulligan, I mean that almost every team has a bad month at some point during the long season. we had ours in the first month.
Fair enough.
If anyone is kicking puppies here, or displaying any aggression, much less misdirected, it certainly isn’t me, it’s probably from the guy making personal jabs about meds. And I’m not bothering anyone about the dumpster fire. Personally, I find slapping that picture down and going “I got your jokes right here!” to be long past its expiration date, but I won’t take it away from anyone who enjoys it.
And not seeing eye-to-eye shouldn’t be a roadblock to having a conversation.
