Acie came out, the other day, to one of the kids she's sort of adopted on the internet. (There's two. This one is eighteen and the other is sixteen. They make me feel old, therefore they're kids. I keep telling Acie I'm too young for children. She keeps bringing 'em home anyway.) This was part of a ...

Good old MLB Network played Game 2 of the 1989 ALCS between the A’s and the Blue Jays in honor of Rickey’s day today. I turned it on in the fourth inning when Rickey walked. Mustached A’s third baseman Carney Landsford strode to the plate knowing full well what was about to happen. Jays’ pit...

Re: Amendment 2, which we shall call the Hatey McHaterson I'm So Better Than You And God Says So, Or Something Stupid Like That Amendment: A super-neat site called Know Thy Neighbor has a nice big list of the people who signed the petition that got the ballot into vote. Via Undo-2, who also have ass...

I don't believe what I just saw. I cannot believe that game. I just... wow. My voice is GONE. People were leaving in the 6th inning; we moved down to the loge box where my cousins have season tickets because the people who share the box with them left early.

CATDAMMIT, TIMLIN. Why do you hate me? Why do you want me to suffer? I have never done anything to you. I know there are many other things to blame here, including: --Whatever Is Wrong With Josh Beckett Oh Jeez I Bet It's the Oblique Even If He Says It Isn't--the homeplate ump and his terrible strik...

When we joined UALC in 1976 is was part of the American Lutheran Church which was a meld or merger of various Scandanavian synods. Then in 1988 the ALC merged with t...

In 2007, the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox played an epic ALCS. If you are an Indians fan, it was much more epic for the Red Sox, who came back from a 3-1 series deficit to beat the Tribe 4-3. It wasn’t by accident. The Red Sox were and are a team of grizzled veteran superstars, laced w...

I want to preface this article by letting every reader of Tribe Report to know that I know it was Fausto Carmona’s first start of the spring!  I’m not saying that Carmona was a one-hit wonder.  Remember, this is just a what if, and I am a Cleveland fan… Fausto Carmona was a dream...

I know I haven't been posting over here very often, but rest assured, I have been spreading the insane Sox love during that time: I have to say that Game 5 was maybe the most stressful baseball game I've watched in a long, long time. There were any number of times when I thought my roommate would co...
