Tribe double-header
I got to a couple of Indians games in a row over Labor Day weekend. That was my wedding weekend, and for the two nights before I became a lucky married man, I got to got out with a few family and friends to the ballpark. Although my out-of-town guests were disappointed that Grady Sizemore wasn’t able to play, it was a nice time overall, and my brothers convinced me that the bleachers (where most of these photos were taken from) are the best place to watch the game. There certainly is a case to be made for the elevated view from center field, plus it offers the TV camera angle for photos and video.
Is Manny Acta the right choice for a new manager?
Now that Eric Wedge had been fired, the Indians needed to find a new manager. But a guy who lost a ton more than he won with the Washington Nationals, when former Mets manager Bobby Valentine may have been available? It’s hard to predict how the Manny Acta era will play out in Cleveland, especially with a dramatically changed roster from previous years.

2009 home opener
For the Indians, the home opener was a wet, soggy letdown. First the game made it almost five innings in light rain before being delayed. Then we hung out at Harry Buffalo for a while before going home. Eventually, some three hours later, the game resumed and the Indians lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 13-7.
