OH my God, hilarious...he was a mainstay when I started following the Tribe...just out of curiosity I had to look that up too. You are too mean....he stole 36 out of 53, then followed up with 15 out of 25, then 11 out of 19, then his last year with the Tribe was successful in 1 out of 9 attempts!!!

He left the Tribe and their outstanding coaching and his next two years stole 16 out of 19 with the Rangers --then 16 out of 20 with the Orioles.

It is impossible to make up this Cleveland sports stuff, no one could do better than what reality actually is.

Cleveland sports...it simply never ends...thus we document.

You know what..I challenge that historical record. I swear it was 36 of 72.



But either way, it does paint a picture.

You are so right..Tribe History; a trip down I want to forget lane.

Pat Tabler was sure a dynamo with those bases loaded however!! There was that.

Wow..you're good.

He certainly was.


But that one year...Cory Snyder and Joe Carter. They had a contest on who would swing at more down and away pitches....and only misses counted.Which pretty much was all the time.


Carter got out of that nasty habit;Snyder never did.

...and that haul from the Rangers in the Julio Franco trade...

guvner Jerry Browne

Oddibbideee McDowell

Pete O'Brien

...and that Eck deal...Oh my God, was it Ted Cox, Mike Paxton, Fred Kendall??

AT least we've got Obaldo, he'll figure out what was wrong last year, I know it.

Nope, was wrong--Kendall went with Eck. We also got Bo Diaz and Rick Wise along with Cox and Paxton. So it was actually a really good trade for us! We rolled on the benefits of that trade for years.

mike dela hoz!!











Scared ya, didn't I?

I'm gonna have to ask this ddtide about this Alonzo Gee fellah....he's 6th man of the year in the NBA right now. I'm not sure if anyone actually follows Alabama basketball however like they do football. So he may not know. AT 2 is undefeated in 2012, that's all I know. This Tribe history is depressing. Lowenstein and Spikes were part of a great outfield together though.
