Some say he's Lou MAR-son. Others insist he's Lou Mar-SOHN. Lou Marson , a rookie catcher for the Tribe, is not partial.

Jeremy Sowers didn't really belong on a rotation with C.C. Sabathia, Fausto Carmona, Cliff Lee, and Jake Westbrook, who took the Cleveland Indians to the playoffs in 2007.

The A's lead the Indians, 9-2, today after six innings at the Coliseum. No implosion: Fausto Carmona did not let the A's attack of bloop hits drive him from the game after a five-run second inning.
