I've been to Jacobs Field several times (it's now Progressive I guess!), it is very great. My visits home are always summer time, so my sporting options are quite limited to baseball only which is why I've never been to the other new places. When my Dad was still alive he had a season package with many others so I would go to a game a year in the 90s on my visits, when they were rolling big time (regular season anyway). They were fun in the 'roid era! I went to one game in Thome's last year (back in the "they'll have to rip the Cleveland jersey off my back" days and he hit two dingers, in the end it only took a 7 year rather than a 6 year contract for him to gracefully take that Cleveland laundary off!!)

You got to be there at the best possible time so that's a break.


Yes, the Thome Jersey Tear Off is legendary here.

I'm waiting for C-Perez to try the same angle.

Wow, there's Jhonny, not one but two home runs today. Sweep city. Somewhere slot dirts is smiling!

Unbelievable, the curse continues.


We get good players who then go bad....then we ship out bad players who then go good.C-Perez has sniffed out that rhythm.

But the Yankee Swine payroll again goes for not.

This is refreshing to know.


Ever been to Sevrence Hall? The art museum?The Cheap Whiskey Dancer Bar? Franklin ....CAH-SOL? Now those places are the ticket.

I've been to the white CAH SOL on cedar road back in the day. Burgers like none other.

!!


There's still a few a round....not very many ,but some.

Was in that general neighborhood just a few weeks ago.Took Warrensville Center out to South Park, but got messed up ( you know what a maze all those roads are out there) and wound up on North Park.An AbbeyGail adventure.Anyhoo....turned onto Cedar out to Carnegie.The architecture of those buildings around Cedar,Mayfield and even Coventry is to die for.


The Clinic is a sprawling mass now....been a long time since I'd seen it.

Families factory torn down last month at 66th between Carnigie and Chester.

Cleveland Clinic is unreal. Have you seen the building they have in Las Vegas? I'll have to find it.

To be fair, Jhonny's always been pretty good. Cannon arm who makes the routine plays non stop. Only 7 errors this year. Not much range, still swings at bad pitches, but you know what he'll do. Extreme consistency. Actually had a bad year for him on offense this year. Zero emotion whatsoever which I think helps him in post season. In 2007 was actually the Tribe's best hitter in post season getting many big hits, and he's continued his good post season hitting with Detroit. We just focus on only the bad things. He really hasn't lifted his game at all in Detroit, he just is what he's always been. Everyone's better when you put them with Cabrera, Fielder and Verlander!!

No.

Do they have slots?



r u trying to find the Clinic or Las Vegas?

I see what you mean.It does obliterate the axiom that a team has to be strong up the middle, defensively.


I agree about his arm and he did turn the double play well....but boy his range certainly was 60 feet apart and not 90.

But he does seem like a nice guy so it's good to hear it for him.

Time for Weeden to show that snot nosed Indy rookie qb just who the boss is!!

better arm??? Weeden-wacker, sen-sen chew, there's Jhonny or DA? sizeless is entering some punt pass and kick contests in the 8 year old division

I would go with Chew and There's Jhonny; they always threw to the same uniform.

I predict Sizeless will be injured in training for the event.



To change up here,what a pity the circus of slot machines not only reward racing....but metropolitan areas too.It's a contagion that seems to know no end.Like the Bible, so many believe.

Suicide gamblers walk in with their invisible vests.

It's the easiest way for the elected to rake it in.

No tax levy needed.



Hospitals invest in cemeteries and casinos in birth.Not a creature was stirring,not even a mouse.

Maybe in 100 years the gambling industry will employ 85 percent of Americans and it will solve every single problem on the planet. Yep. It can be done.

"The Indians' 5.25 ERA from its starters (10 pitchers made at least one start during the year) was the fourth-highest single-season rate in club history. The team's 1.51 WHIP was the 15th-highest average for a single campaign for the franchise.

If that doesn't scare the living daylights out of you... Well then you probably can sit through Paranormal Activity 1-through-4. I know I couldn't.

Damn, that would have been a good costume idea. The Indians Pitching Staff."

Interesting commentary.

The best part is the hitting sucks,too.


They have a team right now that lost 94 games and that was only because of luck.They have no hope from the minors, they cannot sign free agents to fill gaping holes and they have but 3 players of which it would make sense to trade...but most likely for prospects.The bonus is those three would leave 3 more gaping holes although not so gaping for C-Perez.This really doesn't leave much for Francona to do.



The future is very bright, if we could only see it.

Ohio State continues to be a team whose play cannot be predicted.

Anything could happen week to week and it usually does.


Always fun yaking with you.Leaving now.I have to return some tapes.

Hey, next week is the Big 10 championship-probation division version. That should be fun! leaders-legends-probation.

Timely subject because I am going to tell you something( and, hear me well now)....the Browns have several players and and a certain h.c. who should be playing on Saturdays, right now.


That's straight up.

With all due respect I'm not sure what Mr Rogers does at times. You're 1-5. Why on earth don't you go for it on 4th and 1 on your opponents 40 late in game?? So what, if you don't make it you may go 1-6?? You're goin there anyway!! Weeden did outplay Luck but not by enough. He has to overcome a lot....Mr Rogers and lots of drops. That Gordon catches a ton of touchdowns but inexplicably dropped one wide open for a TD in the 4th quarter.

What is hilarious about that 4th and 1 punt is that Mr Rogers actually called time out before that punt to come up with a spectacular play call for that 4th and 1, and what he came up with is a punt!! Classic stuff.

He makes Les' Etch-A-Sketch(TM) look like the Bible for off. coordinators.

And I told you the Browns' have guys who should be playing on Saturdays.


It's...a....wonderful day in the neighborhood..........
