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.

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!!

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.

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.
