The Indians are within one half game of a Wildcard spot with two weeks to play in the season. Can they win back some fans and make that push into the post season? Meanwhile, the Buckeyes rout Cal with a backup QB. And the Browns outcome against Baltimore is all too familiar. It’s GameTime!

Hosts: Mike Kresic, Tom Kresic

Running Time: 46:02

  Like it or not, the Indians are still right there for the Wildcard.

  
  
  
• 
  

  .5 GB Texas and Tampa for the Wildcard.

  
  
  
• 
  

  5 GB Detroit in the AL Central

  Ubaldo has been pitching well since Masterson went down with injury.

  
  
  • 
    
  • 
    

    Jimenez is 5-5 with a 1.82 ERA since the All-Star break.

    
    
    
  • 
    

    In his last five starts, he’s gone gone 3-2 while allowing six earned runs, 32 hits and six walks with 42 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings.

    
    
    
  
  
  
• 
  

  Fans still not showing up (<9,000 announced at a game on last homestand).

  
  
  
• 
  

  Tribe swept the lowly WhiteSox over the weekend.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Remaining schedule: 3 @KC, 4 vs HOU, 2 vs CHISOX, 4 @ Minn

  The Buckeyes crushed the Golden Bears 52-34.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Kenny Guiton made his first start and made us hardly miss Braxton Miller (sprained left knee). He was 21-32 for 276yds, 4 TDs and 0 INTs. Rushed 14 for 92 yards

  
  
  
• 
  

  Jordan Hall was 30-168 on the ground with 3 TDs.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Jumped to early lead (90yd TD pass, 47 yd TD pass, 1yd TD pass) in first 6 mins.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Teams essentially traded scores after that. Cal has a good offense. Jared Goff is a pretty good QB and only a freshman.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Lot of points b/c both teams were using no huddle for much of the game. OSU’s depth at bringing in fresh pass rushers helped.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Team has longest winning streak of all FBS teams at 15 games. We go back home to host Florida A&M on Saturday before opening the Big Ten schedule with Wisconsin in two weeks.

  
  
  

• 
  
• 
  

  Browns fall to Baltimore 14-6 to drop to 0-2.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Plenty of blame to go around on the offense.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Trent Richardson got the ball 18 times, but amassed only a measly 58 yards. What is his problem? Too slow? Can’t find the holes?

  
  
  
• 
  

  Offensive line wasn’t creating many holes and they weren’t keeping their QB upright either.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Little has shown us enough now. He needs to go. But there’s no one to replace him around here.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Jordan Cameron was pretty quiet except for one deep catch on a Weeden rollout.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Weeden had three delay of game penalties (4th was saved by a timeout).

  
  
  
• 
  

  He didn’t throw any INTs, which is good. But there is not enough talent on this offense.

  
  
  

• 
  
• 
  

  The defense has been good for two weeks now. If you hold a team under 20 points, you should win. Our offense has managed 10 and 6 points to start the season now.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Mingo had a nice game in his NFL debut.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Defense pretty good against the run again (Rice was only 13 for 36 yds on the ground).

  
  
  
• 
  

  Minnesota is also 0-2. But they’ve put up a lot of points in losing their first two games.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Adrian Peterson against our run defense should be a good test.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Ponder doesn’t scare us. He’ll be one of the worst QBs we’ll face this year (JAX, too).
