The Cleveland Indians have underachieved this season after last year's run at the World Series.  The Cleveland Indians run was ended by the Boston Red Sox who went on to win the Championship. The Cleveland Indians 2008 season has been defined by inconsistency at the plate and indifference on the pitcher's mound. However,The Cleveland Indians Are Relishing Their Role As Home Spoiler Articles as of late...the Indians have been getting great pitching from their bullpen; and, the Cleveland Indians have been scoring runs in bunches.

Today, the Indians get a chance to knock off the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at their home stadium, Tropicana Field. The Indians will be sending their ace, Cliff Lee, to the mound to face Tampa Bay Devil Rays pitcher Matt Garza. All-Star Indians pitcher Cliff Lee (14-2 W-L, 2.58 ERA) has been simply outstanding this year. The problem with the Indians has been their bullpen which seems to alway falter in the late innigs.

The Cleveland Indians are 4-0 against the Devil Rays this season; while Devil Rays pitcher Matt Garza is 0-2 against the Indians with a 5.85 ERA in those losses.

The Indians have not given up on the season just yet...so they may come in easy today as a fabuolous road dog.

Unraveling the Enigma of Matter Waves

Unraveling the Enigma of Matter Waves

In the quest to understand the fundamental nature of our universe, the concept of matter waves stands as a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. This article delves into the historical experiments that sought to measure the elusive properties of electrons, and the philosophical and scientific implications of those findings. We'll explore the intricacies of Robert Millikan's oil drop experiment, the charge-to-mass ratio, and the broader context of mass-energy equivalence in the realm of subatomic particles.

Does The Atom Really Exist?

According to recorded history, the atom concept was developed by the ancient Greeks and the mathematician Democritus. The Greeks are credited with the discovery of the atom and the atom concept. Essentially, an atom is an indivisible component of matter. Or ... it can be thought of as matter in its simplest form. Since it is a component of matter ... you would naturally think that it has mass. This is logical and intelligent reasoning.

Who or What Created The Universe?

I would like to thank Kristen Herde for her contribution to this post...I was going to respond to your two earlier questions regarding the Big Bang. I don't subscribe to the theory ... I have a different one...it's a little bit ahead of it's time .. so people probably won't take it seriously until years later. As far as the zones of infinite density and how did they get there ... they got there using an extrapolation technique (if that makes sense)... Scientists / Mathematicians just extrapolated backwards and figured that all the matter in the universe may have come from one point. They have no idea where it came from.
