QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) If Shingo does get demoted, can someone follow him around with a camera so I can turn it into a reality show? I think the idea of a Japanese guy bussing around tobacco road has comedy winner written all over it.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) Another insightful post from an exciting new member.... :headshake Crede's fielding is underappreciated, he makes tough plays look easy and makes alot of plays that other 3B dont even look at. Look no further than the other side of town to see how terrible a fielder a 3B can be. As far as chemistry, see our record this year, and our double play count as compared to other teams. We turn more of them, and one of the reasons is that the infielders work well with each other. How much difference would getting Joe Randa make? WE would give up alot for him,and be bascially replacing our #8 hitter. As far as where Joe fits into our lineup, being that he is an EXTREMELY reliable fielder, and a good #8 hitter with power, I dont think its neccessary to replace him. Unless you are talking about Chavez, Crede will be our 3B the rest of the year. Crede turns the dp primarily with Iguchi, who he has only been playing with for a couple of months. I get the feeling Randa would be just as effective, with a short adjustment period. What drives me nuts about Crede is his wasted at bats. He doesn't move or drive in runners. He never adjusts his swing to the situation.

"I think when we go on the road we'll be much better," said Zambrano HOME 12-12 ROAD 9-12 This guy is making a case for dumbest player in the league. :headshake

That's terrible. I would stay far away from Cub players. Their luck gets worse by the day.

Here's what cbs has to say. I wouldn't take much stock in these guys. Did you see their NFL draft predictions? http://www.sportsline.com/nba/draft/mock

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2005 -> 10:19 AM) Frank and Ross Gload will make this team better. Everett cant hit a 91mph fastball down the cock on 3-1 with men on in a tight game. Frank at least would of either drawn a walk or put the ball in play. Having Ross Gload to pinch hit instead of Timo Freakin Perez or Willie Harris makes this team much better. Hopefully we release Timo and get a fresh start for the offense. Having those guys back will also have a few guys fighting for playing time. If they want to play, they better produce. Maybe, it'll light a fire under the likes of Dye, Everett, Gload.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 27, 2005 -> 09:53 AM) IIRC.. took us about 6 hours. Whatever you do.. DO NOT SPEED within the city limits on the expy. Jim was going 8 over and they tagged him for a $95 ticket. And if you can swing it.. stop at Cedar Point on the way home. Awesome coasters if you like that kind of thing. That's exctly what we are planning on doing!!! Cedar Point, not the speeding ticket.

Here's an early mock from SI http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writ...ock1/index.html

QUOTE(JimH @ May 27, 2005 -> 09:00 AM) That's great, you will love it. Over the weekend I'll have a little time to dig out my Cleveland stuff and I'll PM you with some addresses and websites, etc. Since everyone is 21, that opens things up, LOL. I should mention, Jacobs Field is very very close to downtown, one could say it's in downtown. So the bar area (Flats/Warehouse District) is just a very short hop away. There are, of course, a few bars adjacent to the ballpark, they're all just fine too. I find the Cleveland people to be nice, especially if you take an interest in their city. If you tell them you are thinking about the Flat Iron Grill or Great Lakes Brewing Co. they'll be impressed. Of course they aren't thrilled with White Sox fans, but hey. That would be great!!!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 27, 2005 -> 07:53 AM) Jack practically carried the broadcast. I thought he was better than DJ last night. He was insightful, questioned bad decisions(like McPhersons pitch), talked about his past, and made me laugh. His line "I dont know much about planes, but the wing is on fire." had me laughing. Too bad we couldnt switch out DJ for blackjack some more. That was a great line. I say we sign him up for good. He wes excellent.

Thanks JimH!!! That's a huge help. Everyone going is 21, so we can try all your ideas. We are going to the games Friday and Saturday. I'm looking forward to the trip even more, now.

This is my first time. Any advice on hotels, parking, bars, restaurants?

QUOTE(quickman @ May 25, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) this thread is a complete retread of four others. I didn't mean to start a retread. I don't always have time to read through the 15 page threads. That's why I don't start threads all that often. Whatever I have to say, probably has been said ten times over.

I figured that would be your response.

The thread just took me to googel?
