Thursday, September 29th, 2033: Bad News for Cleveland, Webb Hurt
Watching Justin Webb getting helped off the field today at Jacobs Field, fans of the Cleveland Indians feared the worst. The news wasn't quite as bad as initially feared, but the center fielder will miss 2 weeks with blurred vision. "We feel we've dodged a bullet. When you see a guy break down like that, you worry right away," a team spokesman said. Webb suffered the injury making a defensive play in the game against the Marlins.

Webb is batting .295 in 2033 with 33 home runs, 89 RBIs and 84 runs scored. He has 127 hits in 431 at-bats.

Friday, September 23rd, 2033: Cleveland's Romero Out 3 Weeks
"It was kinda freaky. Hopefully, I'll be back in the lineup soon," said a dejected Carlos Romero after injuring himself in a game against Cincinnati. The Cleveland manager told SION reporters, "He will miss up to 3 weeks with a concussion." The Indians will have to decide over the next day or two whether the catcher will go on the disabled list.

So far this year Romero has 23 home runs and a .249 batting average.

Tuesday, September 13th, 2033: Super Swinger! Rangel Slams 5 Hits!
It was a good day for the Oakland Athletics as they dumped the Cleveland Indians 15-9 at Jacobs Field. Despite the loss it was a remarkable day for Indians Tomás Rangel, who went on quite a hitting spree with a 5 for 5 barrage.

The Cleveland first baseman told reporters after his big 5-hit performance, "I have mixed emotions about this game. Getting 5 hits is really something special, but losing the ballgame spoils it to a certain extent. It's sort of like the feeling you get when your mother-in-law drive over a cliff in your new sports car."

For his outstanding performance Rangel will get his name in the record book.

Quizzed by the press corps about his personal hitting theories, he responded, "I don't have any buzz words. I'm 'not dialed in' or 'in a zone,' as they say. As far as the hitting goes, I try to keep it simple...try not to over-think it. I try not to look into it too much. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then in a split second decide to try to hit it. Today I picked up the spin very well."

T. Rangel walked in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off C. Edwards Jr in the 9th.

In 144 games this year Rangel has posted a .301 average and put up these numbers: 9 home runs, 79 RBIs and 95 runs scored.
