A lot of players are depending on a good spring to win a job on this year’s Indians roster. Mark Grudzielanek took one step towards winning the Tribe’s infield utility sport, leading the Indians with an RBI double in his Tribe debut. The Indians beat the Reds for the second time in as many days in Goodyear, Arizona 4-2.
Bob Feller, former Indians pitcher and Hall of Famer, threw out the first pitch at the ripe old age of 91. MLB Commissioner Bud Selig was also in attendance.
Finally! Baseball is here! Well, sorta…it’s only spring training. But you have to admit, it is nice to watch some Cleveland Indians baseball. The Tribe took on the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon at Goodyear Ballpark. They were the visitor in this contest, even though both teams share this field during spring training games.
The Tribe topped the Reds, 9-2 as they pounded out 14 hits on 3 home runs. Tribe pitchers combined for eight shutout innings, only giving up two runs in the eighth. Both teams bunched up the scorebook in this one, so I’ll just recap the starters for the Tribe and notable reserves. (more…)

The Official Website Devoted To Keeping LeBron James In Cleveland.
July 1, 2010 is going to be a very important day in Cleveland sports history. It could be the last day LeBron James is a Cleveland Cavalier. There are a ton of rumors going around. LeBron to NY….to LA…to Miami. But there is one website that is making sure LeBron knows Cleveland wants him to stay.
MATTHEW RUSNAK and CHRIS KONING are the founders of KeepBronBron.com, a website devoted to keeping LeBron in Cleveland. The website gathers signatures and sells “Just Sign It” t-shirts. Even though Rusnak lives in North Carolina, he still coordinates events with Chris, who lives by Cleveland.
Matt and Chris were both on “The Dugout Sports Show” last September and I had the chance to catch up with the guys, who since we last talked, have been featured on TV here in the Cleveland area.

Same face, new place: Eddie House went from first place with the Boston Celtics to a bad New York Knicks team. (Photo: NBA.com)
I had the chance to interview New York Knicks guard EDDIE HOUSE after Knicks/Cleveland Cavaliers game Monday night. I asked him about his mentality playing for the Boston Celtics then bring traded to the Knicks, what do you say as a veteran player to a team that gets beat that bad, and also the Celtics tribute to him in Boston the other night.
House, who always seems to kill the Cavaliers, finished with only two points on 1-for-8 shooting and 2 assists. He went 0-for-4 from 3-point range. He is averaging 9.8 points a game for the Knicks in six games.

While it seemed like the Cleveland Cavaliers were about to let the Boston Celtics and Rajon Rondo run away with a victory, LeBron James stepped in and made sure that was not the case.
The Cavaliers (45-14) held the Celtics to only 32 points in the second half and scored 35 points themselves in the fourth as they beat the Celtics in Boston 108-88 Thursday night.
LeBron James had 36 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, Mo Williams scored 14 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, including four 3-pointers to put away Boston for good. (more…)

This is the first installment of “The Mo Williams Show”, with Cleveland Cavaliers guard Mo Williams as your host. This could be my new favorite program to watch. From my experiences talking with Mo and just seeing how he acts around the team in the locker room, this will be a laugh-out-loud comedy that all Cavs fans need to watch.
His first guest is fellow Cavalier, Jamario Moon. Mo asks him some tough questions in a game of “This or That?”. Including: Steak or lobster? Joe Tait or Fred McLeod? LA or NYC? and many more. Check it out.

Nothing seems to stop Ohio State’s Evan Turner. Not even a cold start.
Turner overcame shooting 1-for-7 in the first half, and scored eight straight points for the Buckeyes (22-7, 12-4 Big Ten) after the Nittany Lions of Penn State had cut a 17-point lead to two with 5:15 left. The Buckeyes then cruised to a 75-67 win in Happy Valley.
“When you start making points, you start getting more confident about it and that was it,” Turner said about his cold start. “I felt like the shots I missed should have gone in and it was no problem.”
David Lighty scored 18, including an open 3 from the left wing that put the Buckeyes up 49-32 with 13:50 left before Penn State answered with three straight 3s. (more…)

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a long sigh of relief after their unimpressive 105 – 95 win over the visiting New Orleans Hornets Tuesday night. But while the victory snapped the Cavaliers three game losing streak, this team has a long way to go to where they need to be.
“We’re definitely not where we want to be right now,” Brown said after the Cavaliers improved to 44-14. “Everybody feels it. We’ve got to fight through it. It’s going to be a nice mental challenge for us. It’s going to be a nice physical challenge for us to get to where we need to be in order to win games at a high level, but I’m looking forward to the challenge and I think everybody in that locker room hopefully is, too, because we’re all competitors.” (more…)
