Sports movies bring out a wide variety of emotions. Not all of the great all-time sports films finish with you applauding the lead character's rise to greatness. Many leave you wondering how the leading man or woman could have screwed things up to such an epic degree.

Now that Shin-Soo Choo seems unlikely to be donning military fatigues, the Cleveland Indians would like the outfielder to wear their uniform for as long as possible.

The 2010 New York Mets broke me in a way like never before. It took me no greater than two weeks to realize that particular group of players and coaches had zero chance of finishing over .500.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Choo Shin-soo is keen to shoot down one theory about why he's traveled all this way to lead South Korea's bid to regain the Asian Games gold medal.

The Cleveland Indians have re-signed free agent pitcher Anthony Reyes to a minor league contract. Reyes spent most of last season building up arm strength after having reconstructive elbow surgery in 2009. He made just five starts for Cleveland's rookie team in Arizona and Double-A Akron. The 29-year-old spent September working on his mechanics and delivery and then pitched well enough in the…
