My dominance is striking. I consider baseball to be my favorite sport. I love the Cleveland Indians and then everything else. Baseball to me is number one and the sport I know the most about.
I'm not sure many people can believe it. I know if you would have told me back in July that the Detroit Tigers would be going to the World Series, I wouldn't have believed you.
Every year I like to recap the minor league season and dedicate respectable time to the prospect side of the organization. That is this effort and with the Indians in such despair after a second half collapse, there is no better way to feel hopeful than to look ahead.

Offseason Rundown: Brantley has surgery; Winter ball starts up
I rotate my desktop backgrounds, because Windows 7 is cool like that. As I usually do, I make my own backgrounds because I'm an amateur Photoshop type of a dude and well, I sat here at the computer on Sunday looking and simply shaking my head.
Back in Spring Training... I had an idea. A real good idea at the time. I would establish dominance among you faithful readers and followers. I would flex my fantasy baseball muscle and in the process, feel good about how awesome I am.
As is the case every year, as a member of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance, I have the opportunity to cast my ballot for our year end awards. You may disagree with me, in fact you probably will.

It's All About Trust: Francona Initiated into the Tribe
You may have heard the term "Golden Sombrero" used in baseball talk. It is in reference to a hitter striking out three times in a game. Well on this blog, we have the Golden Fedora, which is far better and more coveted. You also don't suck to get it.
I'll be the first to admit that I was wrong. I thought that, as I probably put it more than several times, that Terry Francona was a pipe dream for the Cleveland Indians.

Season Aftermath Rundown: The Tribal Journey From Here
You know, after smashing the ever-loving daylights out of the Royals on Sunday, there was a little sense of hope. A sense of hope that made you think things are a little better around these parts than you would have thought.
This truly feels like the beginning of something different. I don't know what's going to be different, how it's going to be different, or how different it will be... It isn't so much about a new manager as it is something else.
