  After losing each of their first two series following the ASG break on the road, the Tribe came home to sweep the Rangers.

  
  
  
• 
  

  We blew a 7-1 lead on Friday but came back to win in 11 innings.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Masterson outdueled Yu Darvish on Saturday in a 1-0 shutout. Credit Chris Perez with his 14th save.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Ubaldo was just as good Sunday as the Tribe won more comfortably, 8-0.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Shutting down the potent Rangers offense is a nice feat.

  
  
  
• 
  

  GIambi hits a walk-off in 9th on Tuesday to beat CHISOX. McAllister pitching well since coming back from DL.

  
  
  

• 
  
• 
  

  We picked up some bullpen help Tuesday, though Rzepczynski was terrible in April with the big league Cardinals and doesn’t fare well against righties. (we traded Juan Herrera)

  
  
  
• 
  

  We don’t really expect a big move, do we?

  
  
  
• 
  

  A power hitting cleanup hitter would be nice. Maybe a 3rd baseman? (Chisenhall/Reynolds are not getting it done)

  
  
  

Main stories this year will be:

• 
  
• 
  

  QB competition. Can Weeden thrive in Norv’s vertical passing game or will Jason Campbell challenge him for the starting spot?

  
  
  
• 
  

  Horton’s defense. How much better will our defense be with Horton’s attack style, the switch back to the 3-4 and all of the new players (Kruger, Mingo, Bryant, etc)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Trent Richardson’s health. RBs always thrive under Norv Turner (Emmit Smith, Ladanian Tomlinson) because he likes to pound the ball as much as throw downfield. Can T-Rich be our workhorse or will he be injury prone again?

• 
  

  We’re a month away from kickoff against Buffalo.

  
  
  
• 
  

  What players got in trouble?

  
  
  • 
    
  • 
    

    Sr RB Carlos Hyde involved in fight, but charges dropped over the weekend.

    
    
    
  • 
    

    Jr CB Bradley Roby arrested a week ago. What will his punishment be?

    
    
    
  • 
    

    Two others kicked off team for underage drinking/obstruction of official business.

    
    
    
  
  
  
• 
  

  Which players should we be excited to see?

  
  
  • 
    
  • 
    

    Will Braxton show improvement in Yr2 under Urban?

    
    
    
  • 
    

    Can OSU walk through a weak BigTen again?

    
    
    
  
  
  
• 
  

  How are the national publications ranking the Buckeyes?
