    MLB Extra Innings FREE PREVIEW April 1-7

    Thanks for the info on this. I was getting a little nervous since I'd not seen a message yet on my receiver. I never start my MLB.TV month-by-month subscription until the free opening week is over. ;)

    You CAN get NFL Redzone without Sunday Ticket

    Been a DTV customer since Feb. 2004 (and a few years in the 90's). Early on I paid full price for the MLB and NFL packages each year. Thanks to this site, that's no longer the case. :) I actually didn't do the MLB Extra Innings at all this year (got MLB.tv instead). I hoped that would not...

    MLB Opening Day TV Schedule

    There's no set "tradition" of playing opening day on the same day at the national title game. It just usually works out that way. It didn't this year because of the WBC. This Apr. 6 will be the latest "Opening Day" of a baseball season since 1992.

    Carson Palmer's big mouth

    It wasn't very smart, but how did he disrespect the team and Tressel? He just said he gets tired of hearing about them.

    Carson Palmer's big mouth

    He was saying that about next season because he was hoping the Bengals will be at home so he can see the game.

    Corporate names for stadiums/arenas

    Cleveland Browns Stadium Georgia Dome Giants Stadium Jacksonville Stadium (former Alltel, and I believe they're seeking a sponsor) Texas Stadium Soldier Field Candlestick Park (it's returning to this title this season)

    What is wrong with the Cleveland Indians?

    Cleveland has plenty of outfielders. Too many (Delucci) really. Shoppach is arguably the best backup catcher in baseball. The Tribe also got reliever Randy Newsom in that deal. He was 5-0 with 24 saves and a 1.75 ERA in Akron this year. After being promoted to Buffalo, he's posted a 1.50 ERA...

    What is wrong with the Cleveland Indians?

    Seeing Peralta's range at short makes me cringe when thinking off him at the hot corner. That's not going to happen I don't believe. I'd like to see Blake traded (then resigned after the season). I'd also like to see Peralta dealt, but I don't think that's going to happen. For whatever reason...

    What is wrong with the Cleveland Indians?

    In 24 games for the Braves in 2005, Marte hit .140 with 0 HR and 4 RBI. Marte started the last two months of 2006. He hit .226 with 5 HR and 23 RBIs. He started most of the first month of 2007 and hit .193 with 1 HR and 8 RBIs for the year. He's been playing mostly every day lately, and he's...

    Billy Packer won't be calling any more Final Fours

    Something about his tone and style just lends itself better to golf than basketball. He seems like a great guy, I'm just not sure about his hoops IQ.

    No. Although I'll take him over Nance.

    2008 MLB All-Star Game

    Rather than "getting in their heads," I think it has more to do with the fact that plenty of them are prima donnas who don't care that fans would love to see them hit. They'd just rather have the night off. I'd actually have more respect for those that said, "I don't want to do it. Baseball's a...

    2008 MLB All-Star Game

    Yep. Had 28 homers at the All-Star break. Hit 28 homers at the HR Derby. Hit 30 homers after the All-Star break. Hit .313 with 149 RBI for the season and won the MVP.

    Billy Packer won't be calling any more Final Fours

    Good riddance. Bilas is the best color announcer in basketball. He should've replaced Packer, but I'm just glad Billy's done. As for play-by-play, I don't know who should replace Nantz, but it should happen. He needs to stick to golf.

    2008 MLB All-Star Game

    The entire column from the link you posted made a good point. The notion that one night of swinging for the fences - followed by a couple of days off - can ruin these "All-Stars" swings is ridiculous. A lot of numbers go down in the second half, for a lot of players that never take part in the...

    2008 MLB All-Star Game

    Fukudome and Soto were voted in by the fans, and Soto's hitting .288 with 16 HR and 56 RBI at catcher. He's very deserving. Ryan Howard has been hitting .340 in July to raise his average to .234 at first base. He was hitting .218 on July 1 when most of the All-Star decisions were made. The...

    2008 MLB All-Star Game

    Personally, I love it that no Yankee or Red Sox will be entering the contest. Will ESPN still carry it? ;)

    What is wrong with the Cleveland Indians?

    Here's a couple of goofy stats for ya. With tonight's win the Indians are now 39-53 and: 1. Have OUTSCORED their opponents 413-412. and 2. Still have the fewest errors in baseball this year (41). Texas, who's currently 49-45, has 82 errors (most in MLB) and a 5.04 ERA (highest in the AL).

    What is wrong with the Cleveland Indians?

    My point was that Hafner and Martinez weren't right all season. Hafner for maybe the first two weeks of the season. It's obvious now that they were playing hurt. My point was that you take away the 3 and 4 hitters and No. 2 and 3 starters from a mid-market team and they aren't very talented...

    What is wrong with the Cleveland Indians?

    In 7 full seasons with the Indians, C.C. had an ERA over 4.00 four times, and never had an ERA below 3.21 (last season). In 4 1/2 full seasons with the Indians, Bartolo Colon had an ERA over 4.00 once (4.09 in 2001), and he pitched in more of the "steroids" era of offense. Colon had an ERA of...

    THIS lineup is wayyyy too talented? :confused: Sizemore Carroll Francisco Peralta Blake Choo Garko Shoppach Gutierrez It's not Eric Wedge's fault that Cabrera, Gutierrez and Garko forgot how to hit this year. It's not his fault Rafael Betancourt forgot how to pitch. It's not his fault that...

    C.C. Sabathia: Traded to Brewers?

    Okay, what has he done Joey? Have the A's come within one game of the World Series lately? What does Albert Belle know about winning anyway? The closest the Tribe ever came to winning the World Series with those great teams in the 90's was 1997 - the first year WITHOUT Belle.

    Cleveland Gearing Up For LeBron's Contract Year Too

    I'd rather be 0-50 in Super Bowls than be 0-0 in Super Bowls. People that mock those Bills teams and call them "choke artists" don't have a clue.
