AL CENTRAL

[HD MM]

HD,
I agree with most of what you've said here .... except the bullpen....
Cleveland had NO CHOICE to go out and upgrade the bullpen.
Detroit HAS the guys there, but they were injured....
Zumaya by all reports is doing great this year, obviously it's way early... I have not heard anything about Rodney yet.
I HAVE heard that Willis is happy again and supposivly pitching well, of course , no word if thats bullpen work or with people in the box.

You mentioned that the Indians had offensive injuries - and they did ... but you failed to mention the Tigers pitching injuries.....
Verlander's reports are very positive so far as well.
Different pitching coach, noticed a mechanical issue, he's got his POP back as Leyland said !

Jimbo

Fair enough. Should be an interesting race for the AL Central.

Sights, sounds, memories. A not so distant future isn't that far off..

Spring can't come soon enough here in Cleveland. Since we've been blanketed with a bit more snow overnight, I want to post these pictures as a reminder that a looming Spring isn't that far off. I can't wait to sit in this beautiful stadium and take in a ballgame once again!

GO TRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While we're sharing pics, what do you think of this one KCK? I plan on using this as my avatar come April 6th.....

A B&W rendition of my favorite Tribe player, Grady Sizemore. When I look at this, I think of a ballplayer from the 50's. Sizemore even has on the throwback uni!

ROFLMAO! Are they on TV anywhere, anymore? The last I remember was Sunday mornings on Spike. Me and youngest boy you to watch and giggle, drove my wife nuts. Miss those mornings with him.

Very true Sabres. This April will bring exciting times back to Cleveland once again. I can't wait!

Article in the Freep.com (Detroit Free Press) sports about Bonderman. He talks about how the numbness in his hand, and how he couldn't even feel the seems anymore last season. If this kid is healthy this season, it would be a big boost towards us being contenders again.

Looks like Grady is gonna have some "traffic" to deal with at the new Goodyear facility, HD. What were they thinking building this new ballpark next to an airport??????

Good question, but from my understanding, the view of Phoenix Goodyear Airport, viewed out past right field, is primarily a venue for private aircraft and overflow traffic from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

Besides an occasional distraction, it will make it super convenient the players, staff and family to fly in and out of without much hassle.

Matt, did you take these pix? If you did, nice work. I wish it were financially possible for me to come see a game with you there. Nice park.

I did not take any of the pictures. I borrowed them from Flikr.

I do have pics at home from my seats though. I will have to share those sometime. I'm about 20 rows up from the field, just in line with 1st base by the visitors dugout.

If I can arrange, it would be great to see a game with you or other SG's who would be up for meeting in Cleveland sometime this summer. Ticks are on me.
