The Tribe – The Real Lead Sports Story In Town
-
The Indians start a tough 25 game stretch tonight that will prove if they are indeed contenders. During that stretch the only team under .500 that we play is the White Sox. And the last time I checked they still have Konerko on that team sooooo tough for Cleveland. I love what I am seeing but I am anxious to see how they get through this stretch. .500 during this stretch would still put them in great position going into the all-star break.

you guys have obviously never been in the ad game.
retired now (thank friggin god), but it's all about the #'s and the $'s.
yes i love the browns and the cavs and the tribe but unless you have MLBHD network (like me) then you might have 3 4 or 5 chances to see them play on the national market. until anyone of those teams wins something the major broadcasting networks are going to keep showing the yankees vs. red sox or the knicks vs. the celtics.
nobody outside of fans like us gives a shit about cleveland or indiana or memphis grizzs. sorry, it's just the way it is.
our biz is to sell the most shit to the most people we can at that god given moment.
u see it. it's obvious. auto (esp. trucks) ads when there are sports on. during the day it's about targeting those out of work or depressed or sick or go back to school or kill yourself..
what do you think focus groups are about?
i met my current girl/wife at one we sponsored for our new campaign for the army. being a vet and in the biz for a real long time on the creative end they had me go in and ask ?'s about up to 10 diff versions of the broadcast campaign and what they liked and disliked about each.
it's amazing how many people without being asked said they should bomb the shit out of pittsburgh.

Please, Cavs, don't pull a Lombardi by taking Noels. Take the sure bet: Otto Proter of Georgetown.

It will be a rough ride for the Indians, but they do have a fun team. My biggest concern with the Indians is the closer. I thik Perez is overrated and he is baseball's answer to Sergio Garcia in golf -- a whiner who is easily distracted and loves to blame everyone else for his troubles without taking personal responsibility for his own failures.

Baseball is an old boring sport that should be updated SOMEHOW to make it fun! Maybe cut it down to 20 games so there is a purpose and an urgency to see your team win. To go to a snooze-ball game it's super expensive and it is super BORING!
Baseball should be used in the penal system as a punishment...when you commit a crime they should sentence criminals to having to watch baseball. A simple robbery the sentence could be... you have to be subjected to watching 30 baseball games, and you cant fall a sleep!. You will see all crime drop off....No one wants to be forced to watch sleep-ball!

Please don't taken Noels. He's going to be a zero. Take Porter.

Can't argue with you. Too much wasting time in a baseball game and the game's World Series TV ratings are about one-fourth what they used to be. My question":why night after night do baseball games in New York and Boston always seem to take an hour longer than games elsewhere in the country?

The Browns and Cavs are so young and keep getting more talent ... the Tribe is rolling under Francona. Cleveland, your day is coming and it is very, very close.

No it's not. Indians will fade during this 25 game stretch. Cavs are a mess with two selfish, non-defense playing guards, and if they take Noels they still don't have a guy who will help this year or help at the small forward position. As for the Browns, Lombardi and Banner don't grasp it takes 11 players to have a good defense, not just a front 7, and they will lament not taking Tavon Austin with the first pick.

You're a bitch.
You have no idea what will happen in the next 25 games for the Indians.
The Cavs just hired the best defensive coach in the league to go with the best young point guard to go along with the #1 lottery pick.
Lombardi and Banner each took a shit this morning that more more football knowledge than you.

Indians are already 0-2 in this 25 game stretch and head for a potential Boston massacre this weekend. Indians have some nice components, but lack of quality, consistent starting pitching, plus the failures of an overrated bullpen, will doom them to be a .500 team at best.
My concern: if they go in to a tailspin on this 25-game stretch, Dolan will panic again and have another fire sale. That will doom baseball in Cleveland for many years to come if he does that. I have as much faith in Dolan as I do in Haslam, Lombardi and Banner. That means ZERO.

No offense, but I would not have drafted Craig Powell nor Tommy Vardell, like Lombardi did. I also would not have drafted Mingo that high.
Also, when the Browns secondary gets destroyed this season, please remember your statement that I know less than Banner and Lombardi.

Bill Belichick pulled the trigger on those draft picks. Do you know more than him too?

Mike H has been on here for years with about 3500 intelligent posts. Where you have been on here a month or two....and just about every one of your 250 posts have been a repeat of the same subject. So, let's not try to compare contributions, OK.
