    CLEVELAND, Ohio – It appears that left fielder Michael Brantley has fallen short of his goal of being ready for opening day at Progressive Field. Manager Terry Francona didn't come out and say it Saturday morning, but he came close. "I don't think you'll see him playing in a major-league game this week that's for sure," Francona told reporters in Goodyear, Ariz. "How we go about the next three or four days, we'll have a better idea later today." The Indians break camp on Thursday. They'll pl..

    Three boys waited in the first row of the bleachers in the gymnasium at the Beatty Community Recreation Center Saturday morning, clutching brown paper bags and trading strategies for collecting the most Easter eggs.

The boys, and dozens of other children that gathered for the annual egg hunt at the Near East Side..

    CLEVELAND, Ohio – Corey Kluber was knocked around for the first time this spring Friday in Cactus League play. Depending on how you view spring training games, that could be a good thing or a bit of a concern. Kluber allowed six runs, four earned, on 13 hits as the Indians fell to Arizona, 7-5, at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Ariz. Kluber, the opening day starter, had allowed just one earned run in 14 innings in his first four starts this spring. Manager Terry Francona chose to look at Klu..

    Newest project aims to tie together Dublin's history
    Dublin’s next piece of public art, its sculptor certainly hopes, will inspire a connectedness in a world that all too often seems divided. “We focus too much on what makes us different instead of what connects us,” said Cleveland artist Olga Ziemska. “I am an avid watcher of what connects me to others. I’m always looking for universality and that’s what I try to underline in my work.” The Dublin Arts Council awarded Ziemska a $150,000 commission this month for a two-element installation that wi..

    Sports fans from the rapidly graying three-TV-network generation lost a family member Wednesday when broadcaster Joe Garagiola died at age 90. Garagiola had not attended our family functions for quite some time, but in the 1970s he was right there with us on the sofa, squeezed between first cousin Curt Gowdy and second cousin Jim McKay. Jack Whitaker, the outspoken uncle who loved to share his opinion, stood by himself in the corner. And don’t forget Howard Cosell, the loudmouth brother-in-law ..

    Belgium charges 3 more suspects for offences in terror attacks
    BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian prosecutors announced Saturday they have charged three men with terror offences over the suicide attacks on the Brussels airport and subway, as organizers cancelled a solidarity rally at the government's request because police are too strapped to cope.

    Ohio legislators blocked proposals to limit amount of lead in water ...
    Before it was revealed that residents of a small northeastern Ohio town were drinking lead-contaminated water, state legislators twice decided not to change state law to reduce the amount of lead that is allowed in plumbing fixtures. But it remains unclear why Republican legislators have repeatedly blocked the change and whether there are financial consequences for local governments if the law is not changed. As part of his two-year budget plan, Gov. John Kasich proposed in a 2014 bill and ag..
