Ranking the most surprising Indians
CLEVELAND — It’s good to be up at Progressive Field reporting on the Indians, baseball’s most surprising team this season, even if it did take a 1-hour, 35-minute rain delay until the game against the Tampa Bay Rays started here Tuesday night. The Tribe’s AL-best 22-11 record to start this homestand has been unexpected for [...]

Tribe: for real?
Even though the Indians improbably lost Sunday on two balls that traveled about 60 feet total — and I don’t care what Manny Acta says, it was 100% luck — they come home at 22-11 and as the only AL team playing better than .600 baseball. What does everyone think? Too early to tell? [...]

So far, [...]

My view from the pressbox
Now that The DR Press Box is open for business, it will be interesting to see the direction it takes. Personally, it’s an opportunity to throw some thoughts and opinions out there, some of them random. And, with the ability to add video, the possibilities are endless. I’d most like to see our readers get [...]
View PostNBA and “The One”
Okay, so this was the time of year I normally got to sit back on the recliner and watch as “The Chosen One” led us to the NBA Finals, or somewhere close. Watched as Big Z posted up, Anderson Varejao acted insane on the court and Mo Williams blew another game. Instead now as I [...]
