As a sports fan...there's only one thing I want...one thing...a Tribe series. I thought, in the 90's...it was a lock...

Just like with Roy Oswalt , I don't know if the Cards are ready or willing to split with any of their young promising talent or any CA$H , They just might stay put with what they have .
Speaking of Cleveland , I can remember back in 2002 when Chuck Finley came St. Louis for the stretch run to the playoffs and ended his career on a positive note . I know he pitched in the 2002 N.L.C.S. and won a game vs. the S. F. Giants . The Cards lost but got that far with Finleys help . I think he was having some sort of meltdown with Tawny Kitaen at the time .Last edited by Green Manalishi; 07-30-2010, 08:12 PM.Comment

3K showed up to the morning session for Browns TC, which is a record.
let that sink in for a bit...the Browns are a 5-11 team last year, with a washed up Jake Delhomme at QB, and predicted to finish last in the division.
just blows me away.Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment

Kerry Wood to Yankees, Jake Westbrook to St. LouisWriting In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Man , what a difference 24 hours makes . I never would have ever thought that the Cards would let go of Ryan Ludwick . Legendary Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan is notorious for taking in veteran pitchers and getting the most out of them . He has extended many pitchers careers . Jake Westbrook is perfect for Duncans methods of madness . Hopefully Westbrook will help the Cards rotation down the stretch .Comment

I dunno how strongly either way you guys feel about Karma, but it has been my experience that you reap just what you sow. Keep that in mind when you read the following, regarding the Miami Heat's decision to fire 30 people from their season ticket staff after increased sales made them "redundant personnel"...
Miami Heat fires sales team after season tickets sell out
BY DOUGLAS HANKS
The Miami Heat easily sold out its season tickets after LeBron James announced he was joining the team. That turned out to be bad news for the ticket-sales staff, which the Heat fired Friday.
``Now that the supply for [season tickets] has been exhausted we no longer require a season ticket sales team,'' the Heat said in a brief statement Friday afternoon.
A team spokeswoman, Lorrie-Ann Diaz, declined to comment or answer questions about the firings, which one staffer said cost roughly 30 people their jobs.
The news marks the first departure from the easy-street air that's surrounded the Heat since James announced July 8 he would play for Miami. During an e-mail interview Wednesday on the star player's impact on the team, Diaz noted how busy the sales staff was in the hours after James signed.
``Our sales reps were manning the phones around the clock,'' Diaz wrote.
``We couldn't get them to go home! There was very little inventory remaining once LeBron officially made his decision. And we sold out of that, as well, in record time.''
In its statement, the Heat said it tries to match its sales staff to the number of tickets they have to sell each season.
``Historically, our sales force has ebbed and flowed based on the supply and demand of our season ticket inventory,'' the statement read.
Since 2006, when the Heat won the NBA championship, the sales staff has had an uphill job as the injuries, losses and player trades turned off fans. In 2007, the Heat found itself the worst team in basketball, and seats were hard to fill.
That changed once word leaked that James might come to the Heat. As the rumor gained steam, the team saw a rush on season-ticket purchases. Once James made it official during a live ESPN interview, it was hours before all the season tickets were gone.
Ayeh Ashong, partner at the Tickets of America brokerage in Miami, said demand for Heat tickets is sky-high, with opening game seats selling for about $250 a piece.
Heat season tickets typically sell for as little as $30 per game for seats high in the AmericanAirlines Arena or as much as $2,300 for courtside seats, Ashong said.
``They're probably the hottest tickets in the country,'' he said.
In its six-sentence statement, the Heat did not release details of the staff dismissals.
``While the decision to release part of our sales force was a difficult one, we greatly appreciate their contributions to the company,'' the statement read. ``We have also hired a placement service to assist those individuals find new employment.
``Should any season tickets become available, they will be handled through our season ticket deposit program. We thank those employees for their time with the company and wish them success in their future endeavors.''

alright, on the local student run station they air a sports talk show on sundays..
low and behold they get a call from one of their buddies down in Ft. Myers and he had asked a lot of the locals how they felt about LeBron and the Heat, and their response was:
"Uh..when do the Canes and Dolphins start?"
they asked some kid wearing a LBJ Heat jersey how lebron is viewed down there
"Just like Shaq when he was down there in 05"
Miami is just the epitome of a shitty sports town, every team that doesn't play on the gridiron should leave, hell I already have that worked out.
Miami Heat -----------> Kansas City, MO
Kansas cares more about basketball and is a great example of a Midwestern sports town. They deserve a basketball franchise.
Florida Marlins ----------> Charlotte, NC
The Carolinas are one of the best places for college baseball and yet the they get fucked over for a team that draws this much:
FUCK THAT.
Florida Panthers -------------> Cleveland, OH or Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
A team that can play in December and still go out swimming should not have a hockey team. I would put Winnipeg as the front runners in this, but I believe Phoenix will hopefully be bringing them their well-deserved franchise. Why Cleveland? Because, I think Hockey could work here, under this fictional scenario Dan Gilbert teams up with Kosar to bring this team up and there's immediately some rivalries that could be started with Columbus and with the Penguins and Red Wings.Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment

Alright..fuck it, but I'm going to keep the melting down a bit, but make no mistake this is a melt post.
This sucked, period.
They took whatever optimism I had for a possible 8-8 season and flushed it down the drain today, we lack talent period. We are lacking a true leader and great pass rusher to make our defense that of one the elites, other than that I still am liking it. The offense though? Other than the great blocking from the offense we're so f-ing far behind every team in the NFL it's not even funny. great foundation we have, but the lack of offensive fire-power is beyond pathetic.
Still it'll never change, before we can even dream about the playoffs we need to get those three things that have been plaguing us in having a game-changing number 1 WR, a pass-rusher that is f-ing man on D, and a good to great QB.
lastly, I'm tired of losing, I really am. You know how pathetic it is to be considered "optimistic" and associate that with a 6 to 7 win season when discussing this all in the preseason? fucking win games, 'sall I'm asking for. I don't want moral victories or to try to defend my choice of team and why they play so terribly to the hoard of fat inbred "Fans". Blaming Art Modell and the NFL will only get you so far..it's been 10 years. I and others have been expecting results for the 6 to 7, it's been more than enough time.Still waiting for a relevant Browns TeamComment
