Progressive Field Named Best in MLB
May 2, 2008 – 11:48 amSports Illustrated recently conducted a survey of fans all around MLB and, based on a certain criteria, it was found that the Indians’ own Progressive Field stands above the rest. While the stadium did not rank number one in any specific category, it did contain the best average of all 30 MLB teams. As a homer, I suppose I do take the park for granted, but it truly is one of the most beautiful (and I think unique) stadiums in all of baseball. Management also finds ways to update the look on a regular basis with new features and, most importantly, a competitive team on the field.
Congratulations to the…the…I’m just going to say it for old time’s sake…The Jake! Speaking of that, Matt Underwood had a slip in last night’s game and said “They’re looking for some of that Jacob’s Field magic from last season.” Beautiful.

In his second full season in the bigs, Garko is responding with a very strong start, with a few particularly encouraging signs. Last season, Garko only registered 34 walks to contrast his 94 […] |

When Is It Time to Panic for C.C. Sabathia?
Being that it is only April 17th, it would seem ludicrous to push the panic button on the entire Indians’ season. However, the current status of “ace” C.C. Sabathia is more than concerning and would warrant one more look at that big red button labeled “Panic!” After giving up nine runs for the second straight […] |
Borowski Lands on DL With “Strained Right Tricep”It’s weird when you just “know” something. Like when Julio Lugo doubled to start off the top of the ninth last night, you just “knew” Joe Borowski was going to blow it. It was pretty painful watching that 83 mph fastball sail right over the middle of the plate with Manny Ramirez probably thinking, “Is […] |
