Preview - Marshall at Ohio State Thursday, September 2, 2010 Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OhioMarshall University at Ohio State7:30 p.m. (ET)TV: Big Ten NetworkThe Ohio State Buckeyes will host Marshall University Thursday night at Ohio Stadium to kick off the 2010 season, the first step in a journey they hope will land them in Glendale, Arizona in January. College football teams all around the country have the same dream, but this year the Buckeyes are one of a handful of teams that arguably have the dream and the te...

BCeStimation: Preseason At the end of every college football season, 10 teams are invited to play in BCS bowls. Six of those teams automatically qualify by winning their "automatic qualifying" conference championship (meaning the champions of the ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac 10, and the SEC receive invites). The other four spots are up for grabs as "at-large" bids. The BCeStimation will be a weekly column that predicts which teams will make it to the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, ...

The B-List: 9/1 Carlos Carrasco’s wonderful 2010 debut was marred by yet another bullpen botch-up, and today’s B-List covers all the interesting happenings, and then a bunch of other stuff, too. Carrasco’s long-term future is discussed, while a root of much evil is identified, and a pitcher is compared to a character from “Highlights.” A player from the past makes a guest appearance in an effort to short-circuit your brain, and Shin-Soo Choo is still really good. Cleveland left fielders? Not so much. FINAL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E White So... Read more Steve Buffum | Thursday, 2 September 2010 |

Using a Poker Strategy in Football
Successful poker players may lose many small pots and still be totally happy, for their goal is to win the occasional big ones. The same thinking comes naturally in football. When the Browns are in a fourth down, moving all in, in the meaning of going for it, is worthwhile only if the odds for success are good enough. In most other cases, it's probably wiser to just fold the hand, as in punting the ball away. In the same way, winning or losing a single yard means nothing as long as they manage to get a first down.

The Browns Outsider - Fake Game Three Preseason Week 3 – Cleveland at Detroit There are two ways to view the Defensive "performance" so far this Preseason: 1. The Defense has been playing vanilla. Scheme and game planning will improve the overall product. So will getting Shaun Rogers and D'Qwell Jackson back. Detroit's Offense will surprise people this year with all their weapons, Sam Bradford and the STL O ... Read more Chris Hutchison | Thursday, 2 September 2010 |
The B-List: 8/31 Is there anyone that irritates you more in delivering the game-winning blow than A.J. Pierzynski? Buff thinks there is, but it took him a while to come up with the list. He also addresses Justin Masterson's present and his future, distilling it down to a simple black-and-white test. Does he address the quality of the pitch Frank Herrmann threw? He does not. He does ta... Read more Steve Buffum | Wednesday, 1 September 2010 |
Pestano’s Resilience Has Him On Big League Radar Vinnie Pestano has come a long way from where he was a year ago at this time. Pestano, 25, is having a great season where he has mostly pitched as the closer for Triple-A Columbus. Prior to joining Columbus, the right-handed pitcher was 1-1 with 3 saves and a 2.70 ERA in 14 games at Akron, and in 13.1 innings allowed ... Read more Tony Lastoria | Wednesday, 1 September 2010 |
At Least We're Not Detroit? If anybody was still watching at the conclusion of the Browns preseason game on Saturday, they likely would have heard a deep, good-natured voice come over the speakers as the credits rolled: “This Browns-Lions game was filmed before a live studio audience.” I certainly don’t want to jeer a relatively solid performance by our boys, but to deliberately have the two teams ...

The B-List: 8/30 There’s a scene in “The Last Boy Scout” in which Bruce Willis is sitting in a chair and a nameless bad guy offers to light his cigarette. As Willis leans forward, the guy hits him in the face. Ho ho! High comedy! Well, that’s how last night’s loss felt: after coming back to tie the game with three runs in th...

MAC Football Preview- Kent State Kent State Head coach: Doug Martin (Kentucky) The past is the past, and that’s exactly where Kent State football coach Doug Martin wants to keep it. Martin, in his seventh season at the helm of the Golden Flashes, is not worried about Kent’s almost four decades of incompetence on the gridiron. In fact, he sees the 2010 season as a chance for his ... Read more Mike Perry | Monday, 30 August 2010 |
2010 OSU Buckeyes - Quarterbacks The quarterback position at Ohio State has an excellent long term outlook, although none of the immediate backups for Terrelle Pryor inspires great confidence. Strangely enough then, depth is barely a concern at quarterback for this team, so obvious is it that Pryor is the only QB capable of getting the Buckeyes to their goal. The bench is irrelevant. Without ... Read more Dan Wismar | Monday, 30 August 2010 |
The B-List: 8/27 - 8/29 After a week in which they averaged -0.6 runs per game, the Indians broke out for 15 runs Friday night and took two of three from the Royals. Between the 15-run outburst, the walkoff home run by Asdrubal Cabrera, a multi-hit game for Chris Gimenez, and two errorless games for the Tribe, this weekend series was truly one for the Un...

Still in the Oven The NFL's preseason plays out like a four-course meal, which each game building on the next. By the fourth game, the accomplished teams are serving desert and relaxing as coffee is served.

The Weekend Wrap I have internal dialogue with myself all the time. Never more so than when I’m watching a sporting event involving the Browns, Indians, Cavs and Buckeyes.

After the first pre-season game against ... Read more Brian McPeek | Monday, 30 August 2010 |
