Tribe chain ranked #5 by BA/SI

Seems they prioritize "star power" in this ranking.

Funny that HOU gets dinged for not having a winning major-league club since all the way back in '07.

DO THIS INDIANS!

Ferry named #2 Exec

Ferry named #2 Exec

Danny Ferry finished second in NBA Executive of the Year voting, to DEN's GM.

Looks like Billups-for-AI was considered a better move than getting Mo for Da. Jones and Joe Smith. Still, great job, Mr. Ferry. Thanks for the exciting, deep team we get to watch.

Game #58 - Cleveland Cavaliers @ ATL Hawks

The Cavs roadie continues through the Dirty South, as they invade Hotlanta tonight to square off against Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Mike Bibby, and Al Horford. They looked great against San Antonio after looking wretched at Houston. The action is on ESPN.

Will the game be followed by news of a big acquired through the mid-level exception?

Let's game thread the heck outta this thing.

Brodzoski, Closed for Business

Thanks for the memories in 2007, Joe.

Let's just forget 2008 ever happened. (Except for Shap and Wedge, who we can hope have learned not to trot injured pitchers to the mound and expect stellar results.)

Statisical analysis in the NBA

Statisical analysis in the NBA

Fascinating NYT article by Moneyball author Michael Lewis about the Houston Rockets using statistical analysis to study the NBA. Lots of talk about Shane Battier.

I tried to figure out whether or not the Cavs employ such tactics. All I could come up with was that they seem to like the corner three, as does HOU.

Have we discussed this yet? I think it's idiotic on Mangini's part.

Where's Hammy?

Where's Hammy?

OK, while I think Tom Hamilton is the best in the game of baseball, I didn't really expect him to make the American Sportscasters Association's Top 50 sportscasters of all time.

But I thought a FanShot could lead to some of the debate that a list like this is supposed to engender.

Hard to argue with the top five.

I hate Costas at #6 and Buck at #11.

When's the last time Berman (#35) covered any live event besides adding his repellent "commentary" to the HR Derby?

And let's just pretend we never saw that Walton selection. "Turr-ible!"

FtS, can we give The King some space on this blog?

Hargrove invented ubiquitous phrase

Hargrove invented ubiquitous phrase

Turns out our good friend Grover was the first to utter "Manny being Manny" for the press.

Great to read an ESPN article that is both well-researched and fun to read.
