Just a short update as I’m packing and getting ready to head out of state for the next couple of weeks.  I will be gone until around August 12th as I head to Chicago for a couple of conferences and will be unable to blog until I get back home.  I will just be too busy to watch the games and write the game recaps.

If there is a Indians fan out there that would like to do some game recaps etc on the blog, please email me by clicking the contact us link at the top of the site.  I will reply and we can talk about what it all involves!  It is very easy to do.  Hope to hear from you soon!

The Cleveland Indians have placed starting pitcher Jake Westbrook on the 15 day disabled list.  The move is retroactive back to April 20th.  A left intercostal strain is the cause for Westbook’s trop to the disabled list.

Aaron Laffey or Jeremy Sowers would be the most likely to be called up to take Westbook’s spot on the roster.

The Indians have also recalled outfielder Ben Francisco from Triple-A Buffalo.

There is a brand new Cleveland Indians Baseball Blog on the Internet!  Here at Indianshomeplate.Com we plan on blogging each day about everything involving the Cleveland Indians.  From game reviews, to coaching and player rumors, we will be blogging everything Indians!

The big question heading into the 2008 season is can the Indians make it back into the post season?  Can they hold off the powerful Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, and Minnesota Twins once again?  Time will only tell, but I like the Indians changes in 2008!

We hope that you will bookmark Indianshomeplate and come back each day.  We hope you will also leave some comments and take part in our discussions.
