He missed out on the biggest bucks, but he’ll still get a shot to coach at the highest level: it’s now widely reported that Jim Harbaugh will indeed be leaving Stanford to become head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. We’re looking forward to seeing how this goes.

No matter where the Chicago Bears-Minnesota Vikings game is played on Monday night, the Bears should come away with the victory. I have heard Indy’s Lucas Oil Stadium, Atlanta’s Georgia Dome or even Detroit’s Ford Field as options. The NFL is committed to having the game at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium. The [...]

Cleveland Indians fans have it rough. It’s been more than 60 years since we won a championship, and we’ve made the playoffs only once in the last nine seasons. We’ve seen countless hometown heroes traded away while the team wallowed in mediocrity.
But tomorrow is Thanksgiving, meaning we should try to find something to be grateful for. But why stop at one? Here are 10 things Tribe fans should be thankful for (in no particular order):
1. Shin-Soo Choo’s military exemption. After leading the South Korean baseball team to victory at the Asian Games last week, Choo has officially been relieved of his compulsory service requirement. That means he can stay with the Tribe instead of having to serve in the Korean army for the next two years.
2. Carlos Santana’s bright future. Santana was absolutely phenomenal in the 46 games between his call-up and his knee injury. His power and plate discipline suggest he’ll be a great player for years to come.
3. Talent in the minors. This might sound like a tired cliche by now, but the Indians have a bright future ahead of them with guys like Lonnie Chisenhall, Nick Weglarz, and Drew Pomeranz waiting in the wings.
4. Chris Perez’ dominance. In case you missed Monday’s post, Perez’ 1.71 ERA was the second-best in the league amongst pitchers with at least 50 innings. For the first time in years, we’ve got a closer we can count on.
5. Second-half improvement. For the seventh straight year, the Indians played better after the All-Star (35-49) than they did in the first half (34-54). Still pretty bad, but it’s progress.
6. It could be worse. The Indians didn’t finish last in the division—they ended up two games ahead of the hapless Kansas City Royals. In fact, there wasn’t a single division in baseball where a team with Cleveland’s record would have had sole possession of last place.
7. Progressive Field. The best stadium is one with a winning team, but The Prog is a top-notch facility for playing and watching the game. Most ballparks aren’t as nice as ours.
8. 2007. It feels like we haven’t been to the playoffs in a long time, but 12 teams have been waiting for a postseason berth for even longer.
9. At least we have a team. How many other cities would kill to have a professional baseball team?
10. Wahoo Blues. No matter what happens, we’ve got Tribe news, opinions, and analysis, seasoned heavily with 100% of your daily recommended dose of dry wit. You’re welcome!
