It’s hard to think about baseball with the weather this cold … but we’re just a little over three weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training. 

It could be a long year for the Tribe.  They’re expected to be one of the worst teams in baseball and lose close to 100 games.  Last [...]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.  I’d never move away from Northeast Ohio, but if I did, I would miss never seeing snow.  That said, one of the most defeating feelings is when your driveway is buried under snow and ice for weeks.  You get a patch of 40-45 degree weather like [...]

Here is an excellent quick, easy, tasty recipe.  Great fall/winter dish. 

20 Minute Chicken Minestrone

Put all this stuff in a large saucepan …

~ 4 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes (the ones with garlic/onions, or Italian seasoned)

What a game last night in South Beach!  The Cavs and Heat played an instant classic, with the good guys prevailing 92-91 on a late steal and two resulting free throws from LeBron James that gave the Cavaliers the victory.  And while the ending was exciting, it was nothing compared to a stretch late in [...]

Took the family to Great Wolf Lodge, the indoor water park in Sandusky this weekend.  Went with three other couples.  Eight adults and NINE kids.  Nine kids all between the ages of seven months and six years old.  I must have said the words “no”, “stop it”, and “stop hitting your sister with your light [...]

Now that’s what I’m talking about.  What a game last night.

It looked ominous early.  The Cavaliers, already missing Jamario Moon, found out earlier in the day that Mo Williams will miss 4-6 weeks with a sprained shoulder.  The Lake Show, clearly intent on revenging the Christmas Day Massacre, shot out to a 9-0 lead.  Kobe, [...]

Cavs/Lakers tonight baby.  8:00 PM in prime time, with the entire world watching.  The two best basketball players on planet Earth going mano y mano. The Shaq v. Kobe drama.  The rematch of The Christmas Day Massacre out in L.A. that ended with Laker fans in complete meltdown mode, hurling their foam fingers on to [...]

A new Italian restaurant is opening today on East 4th street in downtown Cleveland.  It’s called Chinato, and is located over on the southeast corner of East 4th, across the street from Michael Symon’s popular restaurant Lola.  The chef is a pretty renowned guy, and the buzz is pretty good on this new endeavor of [...]

Jack.  Is.  Back.  And it doesn’t appear that a couple years of R&R and a little quality time with his new granddaughter have dulled his skills at all.  Nor has a year away changed the approach of the writers and producers of the FOX hit show “24”.  The head of CTU a bumbling fool?  Check.  [...]

It was a Heartbreak in Salt Lake last night for the Cavaliers. Down 18 points in the fourth quarter, they embarked on a furious fourth quarter run on the back of LeBron James (20 of his 36 came in the fourth) … only to be undone by a last second prayer three pointer from some [...]
