Wait 'Til Next Year: Long a rallying cry for longsuffering Indians fans, were hearing more of the same as the disappointing 2006 season slouches to a close.

Well discuss what went wrong and the chances for improvement next year.
Laura Bush in Ohio: The First Lady stopped in Granville this week to campaign for Congressional candidate Joy Padgett, a last-minute replacement for disgraced incumbent Bob Ney. The appearance was one of the few Ohio visits by high-level Republicans whove kept a low profile in a key battleground state.
