| Indians struggle despite Tendulkar's half-ton | | 2008-07-20 17:10:00 | |
Author: Cricky
Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 5:10 pm
Sachin Tendulkar marked his return from injury with a well-made 69 but the rest of the Indian batsmen struggled in a three-day tour match against a Sri Lanka Board XI on Saturday.
In reply to the hosts' first-innings score of 224, the visitors were 196-8 at stumps on the second day of their warm-up tie at the Nondescripts Cricket Club.
Tendulkar, making a return to international cricket after more than three months, proved his match fitness with the 76-ball knock that included eight fours and a six.
The star batsman is just 172 runs short of surpassing West Indies' Brian Lara as the world's highest Test run getter.
Tendulkar added 62 runs for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik who looked all set for a Test recall after remaining unbeaten on a patient 58 that came off... | | By: BrightCricket | | |

| Yanks would have interest in Indians' SP C.C. Sabathia | | 2008-06-13 14:11:00 | | FROM THE NY TIMES:OAKLAND, Calif. — A painful swing by the Cleveland Indians’ Víctor Martínez on Wednesday could have significant ramifications for the Yankees. An elbow injury to Martínez all but ended the Indians’ flickering playoff hopes, and will probably lead to a trade of the ace left-hander C. C. Sabathia.If Sabathia is on the trade market, the Yankees will have strong interest. The Yankees rank last in the American League in innings pitched by their starters, and Sabathia led the league in innings last season while winning the American League Cy Young award.Martínez will have elbow surgery Friday and will miss at least six weeks. Designated hitter Travis Hafner is also on the disabled list, along with second baseman Josh Barfield and starters Fausto Carmona and Jake Westbrook, who is out for the year after reconstructive elbow surgery Thursday.... | | By: The Evil Empire | | |

| Indians ‘involved’ in missile technology smuggling | | 2008-03-19 12:43:00 | | Dawn -- An employee of the Indian Embassy in Washington and Indian government agencies conspired with an Indian businessman to obtain secret weapons technology from US companies, the US Justice Department said. The technology they tried to smuggle to India included microprocessors and electronic components used in the development of ballistic missiles, space launch vehicles and fighter jets.The businessman, Parthasarathy Sudarshan, entered a guilty plea in a federal court in Washington, admitting that he was part of the arms conspiracy.The plea suggests that the Indian government violated a ‘pledge’ made in 2004 that it would not try to bypass US export-control laws and regulations imposed after India tested a nuclear weapon in 1998.Documents by the Justice Department showed that Mr Sudarshan worked closely with an Indian Embassy employee identified only as “co-conspirator A”.... | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| Cleveland Indians 13 Boston Red Sox 4 | | 2007-10-14 12:36:00 | | Every Red Sox fan seated in Fenway Park last night or those of us watching at home who are members of Red Sox Nation or Red Sox International knows that when Eric Gagne enters a baseball game in the late innings, disaster and utter mayhem follow. This proved to be the case Saturday evening, when in the 11th inning of a 6-6 game, he jogged to the mound. Terry Francona had already used Delcarmen, Timlin, Okajima and Papelbon, and was left with the dregs of the 'pen. Gagne promptly recorded the first out, but then put 2 men on with a single and an unneeded, unnecessary and idiotic walk. Tito was quick to yank him, maybe for the last time ever in a Sox uniform (we can only hope), but the seeds of ultimate destruction were already planted and taking root. Javy Lopez, who was no better, relieved Gagne and allowed a single to Trot Nixon, which scored the winning run. But he wasn't finished. He contributed a run scoring wild pitch, a walk and a single to Ryan Garko. It was 9-6, and the game was over. But Jon Lester, the LAST pitcher in the bullpen, also had something to say. He gave up a double and a 3 run homer, making the final score 13-6. Said Tito about the prospect of having to use Gagne in close situations (never!!)......."The Red Sox could hide Eric Gagne only so long.Before the game, Francona acknowledged that using Gagne in the postseason was not a simple proposition. In Game 1 Friday night, pitching with a 10-3 lead in the ninth, Gagne loaded the bases before getting the last out."It's a very difficult fine line right now," Francona said before Saturday's game. "We're in the postseason and it is a little tough. The one saving grace for me is the way he handles it. He's trying his behind off."Tito, that ain't good enough! Curt Schilling did not look good, using a fastball that didn't top 88 MPH. Maybe he IS finished as a member of the Sox after this season. He gave up 5 runs in his 4 2/3 innings and proved that his great outing against the depleted Angels was mostly because they were forced to use a patchwork lineup. But the Sox proved resilient, and went ahead 6-5, only to have Delcarmen give up the tying run. And then what followed, as described above, we are all too familiar with. So I'll have to say something I haven't had to say this entire postseason....it's time to turn the page. Consider it turned, and the day off today will help calm the soul and soothe the mind. Jake Westbrook, who should be shaky at best, will oppose Daisuke Matsuzaka Monday evening in the city that houses the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, Ohio. I expect great things from him. He has something to prove. To ALL of us.Click on the title of this post for the Globe's Jackie MacMullen's look back at Gagne and his inadequacies. She starts her piece with one word..."OUCH."

| Red Sox Scalp The Indians 10-3...Lead ALCS 1 Game To None. They Took No Prisoners | | 2007-10-13 12:13:00 | | I wrote in a post a couple of days ago that if CC Sabathia was as wild and erratic as he was against the Yankees, he wouldn't get past the 5th inning and the Red Sox would pummel him. Boy, was I right! The Boston Red Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 10-3 on a cool and windy Friday night at Fenway Park in Boston. Josh Beckett was his usual dominating self, only needing to go 6 innings and giving up 2 runs on 4 hits while walking none. He was in control throughout his stint on the mound, and used a devastating curveball for most of those strikeouts. Timlin, Lopez and a shaky (what else is new?) Eric Gagne finished off the tribe, but it was Mr. Beckett who really shined. As for the offense, three words: Manny and Papi. They were on base an astounding 10 times in 10 collective at bats, and for the postseason so far, they have been on base a dreamlike and surreal 29 times out of 38 plate appearances. Said Mike Lowell...."I've never seen anything like it," said Mike Lowell, who had three RBI. "They're unbelievable. They're aggressive, they're patient, they're picking their spots, and it doesn't seem like it's just one thing. They just have such solid at-bats. Just to get on one after the other, it's great for me because they're always on base. But it's really special, especially going up against a pitcher like C.C. To get on every time is unbelievable."Peter here, and it WAS unbelievable. Any time one of the two stepped to the plate, the sense of something about to happen was palpable. They are so locked in, well, I've never seen anything like it. Mike Lowell had 3 RBIs as well, and the team had 12 hits in all. It was a mismatch, and it's looking as if the Sox, who have won 4 straight postseason games, are unbeatable. But it's a 7 game series, and they face a tough customer in Fausto Carmona tonight, but he'll be opposed by our very own Curt Schilling, who has a world of October baseball experience with the great stats to prove it. We're ready!All of Red Sox Nation and Red Sox International must be proud of our team. I know I am, and I can't wait until 8:20pm tonight for the first pitch of game 2, televised by Fox and FoxHD. For your further pleasure, click on the title of this post for Gordon Edes' look back at a Friday night when the Sox clicked on all cylinders and the Indians fell to the ground, stunned and disbelieving. I believe. I have faith. And so do you, my readers. Have a wonderful Saturday as we bask in the glow of game one, a warm and sweet glow indeed. MORE PLEASE!!... | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Yankees Lose To Indians....Is Joe Torre Finished?? | | 2007-10-09 12:12:00 | | Joe Torre's experiment with his number one pitcher, Chien-Ming Wang, failed miserably. Pitching on 3 days rest, Wang was only able to pitch one plus inning, failing to get an out in inning number two. Cleveland went on to win the game by a score of 6-4. I think it's a shame that Steinbrenner opened his BIG mouth and proclaimed that Torre would be fired if they did not win this series. The timing just plain stunk. Torre did a wonderful job managing a team with less than a full compliment of starters and relievers straight to the postseason. He should be applauded for his 2007 job, and that's exactly what happened last night at Yankee Stadium as the crowd incessantly chanted the manager's name. He is a class act. Always has, and always will be.Game one of the American League Championship Series between Cleveland and Boston will take place Friday night at 7:10 PM on Fox and Fox HD. The Sox took the season series from them 5 games to 2. It will be Beckett, Schilling (he HAS to be our #2 starter!!), Matsuzaka, and if all goes well, Tim Wakefield, who is trying to get his back better. The bullpen will be rested and ready, as will all of RSN and RSI.Click on the title of this post for more on the last we'll see of the 2007 Yankees, for they'll be a different ballclub next year....top to bottom.... | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Indians vs. Yankees: Not David vs. Goliath | | 2007-10-09 10:06:27 | | Paul Byrd is perpetuating a myth, and he must be stopped."They have Mariano Rivera, throwing 94 [mph] and carving up the strike zone, and we throw our blue-collar closer, Joe Borowski. He doesn't have the best fastball or the best ERA, but that's how we do it. That's how we've been winning all year, playing as a team and working together." --Indians starter Paul ByrdYou also throw your unhittable lefty-righty tandem of middle relievers named Rafael: Perez, and Betancourt. Both of whom had better years than Rivera, and both of whom do plenty of strike-zone carving and 94-mph-fastball throwing. Also, "Blue Collar" Borowski made $4.25 million this year. So give me a break; the world's smallest violin is already engaged elsewhere (Chicago, for example). The Indians weren't plucky underdogs confronting a big, bad, quasi-invincible Yankee machine; they might not have had the name recognition of their New York opponents, but they did have a collection of talent which won more games than the Yankees this year, and included two of the best starters, and two of the best relievers, in the American League. That's how they've been winning all year. In fact, most of the "expert" predictions I saw before the series began, not to mention my own unpublished ones, (you'll have to take my word for it) pegged the Indians as the victors.... | | By: Between the Lines | | |

| London is fast becoming a second home to rich Indians | | 2007-09-03 18:24:00 | | It is no longer a metaphor but literally true - more and more Indians are buying homes in the British capital. Last year 60 per cent of the £5 million-plus properties sold in Central London were bought by foreigners. While many of these were Russians and Americans, Indians were giving them a run for their money too. "My phone is ringing off the hook with Indians eager to buy property in London," said Jaideep Singh, head of the India desk at Knight Frank, real estate agents that specialise in properties in Central London.

| Beckett Superb As Indians Defeat Red Sox 1-0 | | 2007-07-26 12:22:00 | | Josh Beckett threw his best game of the season, a complete game 4 hitter. Said his battery mate........"To me, it was one of the best outings Josh has ever had," catcher Jason Varitek said. "His command, his ability to use his curveball and changeup and still locate his fastball on both sides, he wasn't dominant to one side or the other. He made pitches."NICE! The only mistake he made was a Guttierrez home run in the third inning. The problem? Fausto Carmona, the Indian's pitcher, was one run better, holding the Sox hitless until there was one out in the 6th inning. In that 6th inning Coco Crisp might have cost the Boston club a run as he tried to score from second on a Papi single. He appeared to slow up rounding third and was thrown out at the plate. But these type of games happen, and it's time to turn the page and win another five in a row. The way the Yankees are playing, albeit against the weakest of the weak (the Devil Rays and the Royals), we might have to. But the schedule ... | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Should Indians drive cars? | | 2007-07-22 19:16:58 | |
Justin Rowlatt, the BBCs so-called ethical man, says:
Now that my year of living ethically has come to an end I am free to explore the question that has haunted me throughout the last year. Do your ethical efforts really count for anything when:
India and China are building new coal-fired power stations every single week.
Well, I agree with the comment posted by jay chandran:
The so-called ethical man who blames India and China saying they are massive polluters is making a mockery of his own common sense and those of the readers by forgetting that China and India together are home to nearly 36% of world population and the per capita CO2 consumption of these 2 countries are some of the lowest in the world.
The people in the developed world including the UK should do something about their own lifestyles including:
low cost flights
yearly holidays to exotic destinations
high energy consuming lifestyles, including total dependence on cars for transport

| Indians Get Free Cash And Games From Zapak | | 2007-07-11 19:58:00 | | I have seen zapak advertisements everywhere but I did not go to website to play games and win cash for using zapak mail. After few days one of my friend told that zapak.com is giving away free games to download. So I thought to check it out so that I can find some cool games to download. I want to download the games because I want to play when ever I am free. So I checked the website I found cool new games to download.

| Quick Hits: Marlins/Indians (Game 3) | | 2007-06-14 23:25:15 | |
The Marlins and Indians today play the final of a three-game series (1-1). The Fish are 6-2 (4-1 home) all-time against the Tribe during the regular season. The teams last met in 2004 in Cleveland (2-1), and they last met in Miami in 2002 (3-0). The Marlins beat the Indians in seven games en route to their 1997 World Championship.
LETS PLAY SOME SHUFFLE BOARD: The Fish are 16-12 since they shuffled the lineup May 15, moving Hanley Ramirez from first to third and Miguel Cabrera from third to cleanup.
DAVID SAMSON AN IRONMAN? NAAAAAH: Dan Uggla is the only Marlins player who has appeared in all 66 games this season. Only three Marlins (5x) have ever played 162g in a season: Juan Pierre (3x, 2003-05), Jeff Conine (1993), Derrek Lee (2002). Two Marlins have played in every game during a season with fewer than 162g: Preston Wilson (161g in 2000), Jeff Conine (115g in 1994).
KING CABBY: Since Miguel Cabrera made his ML debut 6/20/03, he has recorded 451 RBI in 625g. Only two NL play... | | By: SporTech Matter | | |

| Duh… Pakistanis and Indians know math too | | 2007-06-01 18:26:36 | | Where do you think the number zero came from?
A chinese food delivery man once tried to rip me off when I got my change. Just because I’m not Chinese, and have no accent doesn’t meant I don’t know math. I’m a math major.
Do I need to wear a cone on my head? Instead of it reading “dunce,” however, it’ll read “one-third pi r-squared h.”
