    Lonnie Chisenhall is on fire. He's red hot at the plate, and crashing and burning on defense. I barely care about the latter right now, I'm all for a call up if the team thinks he can handle Major League

    The sound track for Indians fans right now should consist of one song- Tom Petty's "The Waiting Is the Hardest Part." Waiting for this slump to end is killing us. It is absolutely excruciating to watch

    What should the Indians do with Chris Perez? Simple. Rehab his shoulder and pitch him. That's it. Don't do anything until Major League Baseball, or the legal system, says you have to. There is no reason

    The Indians were put in a bad spot on Friday night and it played out even worse for their fans. After three rain delays, their game with the Tampa Bay Rays finished up at close to 3:00 in the morning.
