He was part of the package that came over from the Yanks for Nettles. The early 70s were unbelievable building the Yankee late 70s dynasty.

yes, sometime in the mid 80s....I think '84 maybe. Tribe win um tonight. Bat able to pitch on 2 days rest with great effectiveness, unfortunately he couldn't get that last out in the 8th so another no decision. Bullpen dominates again. 16 and a third shutout this homestand. Santana gets the big hit again. LaPorta gets a lucky bloop hit to win it. He still stinks bad.

Chew hit leadoff tonight and Urns stellar season comes to an end as this Urn has been designated for assignment. (center and right field tonight was the orient express.)

It was ,huh? I just don't see LaPorta getting much better than he is now.I couldn't believe C-Pz had a 1,2,3.

Saw the one about Urns.








yay!!!!

Here comes the season. Only 2 back with 6 in Chicago and Detroit. 3-3 at least is mandatory. We get Verlander for one of them I think so that leaves only 2 other games we can lose. Colt played very well in the first fake football game of the season.

Hope the Tribe does well.
