Hafner for MVP?
Well done, my friend...well done...Comment
-
I'm watching the Indians/Chisox game right now, Pojo...
P.S. Hafner might have a shot to be Thome's VP...Comment
-
Hafner's no Thome...but he could be...
I just don't see the ultimate power production that Thome has...
Hafner's more Casey or Joyner than Thome...which is fine...
they'll get their power from 2nd, SS and 3B in their future...with Peralta, Phillips and Blake...or Boone...and from their OF and C...
Thome can rot...
I would like to see him end his career in Cleveland though..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

On a sidenote...
I don't have a lot of respect in general for Indian fans...
they are the biggest goddamned fence riders I've ever seen...
for years I went to games in that monolith of a stadium...watching as 10,000...or less of my closest friends watched them get beat daily...
I once went on a 21 game losing streak in 21 straight games...
and I literally burned all of my Indian stuff...and purchased new...to break the curse (it worked)....
but the fans did me proud the other night...
the Yanks were in town...and it was a near sell out...and raucus I'm sure...
but Lofton got his 2,000th hit at the Jake...
and the fans actually paid attention...and gave him a standing O...
lots of good times for Lofton at the Jake...so I commend them on the props..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

Wow...that was a lot of stuff you just spit out!
Hafner and Thome pretty much look like they could have come from the same farm somewhere...I agree on the power comparison, though. Hafner sometimes looks really stiff in the upper body when swinging...
I would, of course, prefer to see Thome end his career right where he is at the moment...
In addition to burning all your Tribe stuff (which, as it turned out, was a good move apparently), you should have burnt down the Mistake on the Lake...
Sidenote of my own: I had to suffer through watching a bit of the Yanks today while waiting for the Phils to come on and the smallest crowd they have played in front of on the road this year is 24,000...
Question for Pojo: Do you remember Earl Snyder?Comment
-
Are you speaking of the Earl Snyder that the Indians got from the Mets in the Alomar deal?
Last I knew...he played for the Red Sox..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

Ahhh...the Stadium...bro...say what you want about it...
but when you grow up with a stadium...it becomes a part of you...
I Loved that old place...and miss it...
The Jake is the shit...but jesus...
Municipal was fantastic...just not a place for everyone...
especially with those fucking eight foot square support beams..lmfao..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment
-
Yep, that's the Snyder I was referring to...
I'll follow this up with you...Comment
-
All I can think of when that stadium comes up in conversation is any one of a million scenes from "Major League." Especially the one where the Japanese (?) groundskeeper says, "They're STILL shitty..." lmao
The only thing The Vet had over Municipal was the lack of those support beams you so lovingly referenced...oh, the beautiful cookie cutter...Comment
-
Most of those outdoor scenes were actually of Muni...
Most of the indoor were of Milwaukee's Stadium at the time...
what the hell was it...
Fulton County Stadium? They used Milwaukee for 1...
and perhaps Commiskey for 2...or maybe Milwaukee again...I can't remember..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

I liked the guy who said...
"Who are these fucking guys..."
Lmfao...it was the guy that plays the janitor in "Scrubs.""Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

Great quote from major league 2...
"Wild Thing...you make my butt sing..."
lmfao..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

No kidding? I thought (mindlessly) that it was probably all shot at Municipal. I should have considered Milwaukee, what with Uecker playing a prominent role in the film...
Here's two more for you to chuckle at:
"He's dead..." "Well, cross him off, THEN..."
"Hey, Lou...wanted to talk to you about managing the Indians..." "Ahhh...I don't know...I'll have to get back to you. I've got a guy on the other line about a set of whitewalls..."
Those quotes aren't exact, I'm sure...close, though. LMAOComment
-
Real damn close...
Here's one from Uecker..."Ball four..Ball eight...Ball twelve and Vaughn has walked the bases loaded."
or...
"To High...what do you mean it's to fuckin' high..."
or this...
"You might run like Mays, but you hit like shit.""Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment
