El Presidente'....He was really good, but that is sort of surprising. Vizquel would have been my pick. I know he's the Detroit 1st base coach, but he will be going into the HoF as a Cleveland Indian. One of the greatest to ever suit up for the Tribe....After that, what about Jim Thome? IDK. I guess it's no big deal....Still seems like a strange choice. How many years was El Presidente' with us?
His asking price was the reason the Hoodie traded him. Next year the Browns may give him some kind of tag or pay him. But Haslam did say he is not spending a BZILLION dollars in free agency so we have to wait and see. Enough about this train wreck. LETS TALK BASEBALL!!! There's a red moon rising, over the Cuyahoga RIVER tonight! THE TRIBE ARE THE NEW BOYS OF FALL IN CLEVELAND! Can you smell that, fellas! That's what winning smells like! Haven't smelt that in fall in a loooooong time off the banks of the Cuyahoga! Note to JIM BOB! Your business is becoming irrelevant here in Cleveland. It could be sandwiched in between 2 major sports CHAMPIONS! With the Cavs and throw in the Monsters going for a REPEAT! ANYWAYS!!!! GOOOOOO TRIBE!!!!! ALL IN! Cleveland against the WORLD! Either your from CLEVELAND or you wish you were!!!!!!! Im a skinny ol boy from CLEVELAND OHIO and Ill take your women and drink your beer!! GOOOOOOOOO TRIBE!!!!!!!!
dude, you keep saying this, but you do realize that quote from Haslem was about the 2016 free agency period, right? He didn't mean they are never again going to sign a player to a lucrative contract. However...we can agree.... GO TRIBE ! ! ! !
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jim Thome, who has attended several games during this World Series, will watch Game 7 from Progressive Field as well. In fact, he'll throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Thome ventured to Cleveland for Game 1 in Cleveland last week. He also brought his son, Landon, to Wrigley Field for Game 5. Despite growing up a Cubs fan in Peoria, Illinois, Thome's allegiance isn't in question during this series. "As en ex-player, you feel it with them," Thome told cleveland.com before Game 5. "You want this to happen so badly." Major League Baseball, in conjunction with the teams, chooses who throws out each ceremonial first pitch. Former players from each team have thrown out the first pitch prior to each game in the series. Thome, one of three players with a statue out beyond center field, played for the Indians from 1991-2002 and again in 2011. He is the Indians' franchise leader in home runs. Thome played in the World Series the last time the Indians advanced this far, in 1997. The Tribe fell short in Game 7 against the Marlins. Thome never again reached the World Series. "It's what you live for," Thome said. "It's what you dream of." Travis Hafner will deliver the game ball to the mound on Wednesday night. Kenny Lofton and Carlos Baerga completed the act in Games 1 and 2, respectively, at Progressive Field. Fergie Jenkins, Greg Maddux, Billy Williams and Ryne Sandberg all had the honor before the three games at Wrigley Field over the weekend. Dennis Martinez, Cleveland's starter for Game 6 of the 1995 World Series, threw a pitch to Yan Gomes prior to Game 6 on Tuesday night.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Look out, Cubs.... The Wild Thing is landing. Charlie Sheen is scheduled to fly into Burke Lakefront Airport at 3:15 p.m. today, according to a source. The star of "Major League" will be attending Game 7 of the World Series between Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs. Bobby George, of Corporate Management Group, has teamed up with Tony Madalone, owner of Fresh Brewed Tees apparel company, to fly Sheen in and get him tickets to the game. "What an awesome opportunity for Cleveland, said Madalone. "We're die-hard Clevelanders and wanted to do this for the fans. There's no better way to rally everyone than to bring wild Thing to Cleveland!" Bobby George, whose CMG owns Town Hall and Barley House, says they both got the idea simultaneously. "Every time I watch Vaughn come out in Major League I get chills. Tony and I couldn't let this opportunity slip by us. We decided to "bring out Vaughn" -- we were both working on this simultaneously," says George. There are no plans for any other appearances by Sheen, who tweeted earlier that he was coming.
GAME 7....MAYBE THE GREATEST GAME 7 OF ALL TIME!! This is truly one for the ages....Enjoy. ROLL TRIBE!!!
Let's go Tribe!!! Get 4 good innings from Kluber, bring in Salazar for an inning, Ryan Merritt in for 3 outs, a rested Andrew Miller in for the 7th and 8th...then close out the victory in the 9th with Cody Allen!!! Sounds like a plan, a masterful one at that, since the bullpen is rested for this game. We just need to get the bats hot and get to Hendricks.
I think Kluber can give us 6 strong innings, and then it's up to the best bullpen in baseball....I know the Cubs have great pitchers they can throw out too, but we'll be really tough to beat if we got the lead after 6....It's been an incredible series to watch. The tension is unreal, and unmatched in my lifetime. I just want to enjoy every minute of it....One long frustrating streak ends tonight, and one continues....It had to go 7!
I look at the weather as a very positive sign...November 2nd, in Cleveland Ohio, and it's short sleeve weather.... I'm so excited!!! Good move bringing in Thome for the first pitch...
Indians still slight underdogs on the LV line....Last I checked, if you wagered $100 on Cleveland, it would pay you $109....and the other way, you wqould have to bet $112 on the Cubs to win $100....So it's close, but Vegas still says Cubs are the favorite, though I think the Tribe and Francona are right where they want to be.... Like Lebron says....It is "the world against Cleveland".That's the truth tonight...The Tribe really has a golden opportunity here to be one of those teams that NEVER get's forgotten. ..Go Cleveland Indians!!! This is our night! Do it for The Land.
