What wasn't a good...That was a great read Paul. What wasn't a good read was the Gammons article. That guy is a stupid Boston muppet. Somehow, in an article about Grady, he manages to throw in a line about some Saux player (Kalish) that the majority of fans have no clue about. He also decides to throw in another cut on C-town and how it's "economically depressed." Hey Pete, things here could be better, but maybe do a google search before you write about things other than baseball. ESPN got rid of you because you are a Boston homer (which is typically a job requirement) and you have a radio face. Seems that he's still not over the tribe's sweep of his beloved Saux and loves to take shots at Grady and the city. The synopsis of the story: Grady is odd because he plays too hard and Cleveland sucks, and by the way the Saux have a guy like Grady. Please go away Pete.

One thing that keeps bothe...Great piece, as usual.<br /><br />One thing that keeps bothering me is how they swept the Red Sox. The Sox basically gave them the second and third games of that series with a couple of gaffes. Of course, if the Sox were indeed worlds better than the Indians it wouldn't come down to a single poor decision of Varitek not tagging Buck or of a pinch runner falling while trying to get back to second. Nevertheless, I'm holding back my enthusiasm until I see them beat some of the better teams consistently.<br /><br />What I am enjoying is the anticipation of every game. After the first two games I figured that the season was over, as did most of us. It's nice to have meaningful baseball as we look to May. I'm really looking forward to seeing where they stand on June 1.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631006365916798557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-63751724994183204052011-04-24T12:05:28.027-04:002011-04-24T12:05:28.027-04:00Very nice piece, Paul!
In many of the past seaso...Very nice piece, Paul! <br /><br />In many of the past seasons, a small string of losses was a harbringer of things to come, largely because our bullpen was always living on the edge of medicocrity or worse, especially our closers. <br /><br />We never had a closer that was consistently lights out as Chris Perez has been for the past 3/4 of a season equivalent. So, I would like to believe that the meltdown of our bullpen on Thursday was different. <br /><br />There is no reason to think that this is the beginning of a string of bullpen failures, which I think in the end is the difference between a long slide down and an ability to stay afloat or make advances in the standings. <br /><br />Karlosokarlosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483217040012748295noreply@blogger.com
