Thank you for these updates.

They tell me "maybe" can be possible.


I think the opening line was Vagini +27.5.

Ohio State is due for a let down.I have no idea what the Vagini are due for, but I still would not bet money on this.Ohio is a Jeckyll-Hyde team.

Well, no luck on that yet, they lost by 30 to their first NBA opponent. though they did almost win on the road last night. Think the Browns play today.

[horseofcourse]

Browns lose football game. Sun to rise in east Monday. 5 trips inside the red zone, 5 field goals, Ravens 4 trips in the red zone, 3 TDs, 1 field goal, and that's all you really need to know about this game.

That's what got Field Goal Romeo canned.

Mr. Rogers mind is always in a three point stance.



To add to yet another joyous Sunday, I read where the Brown's had to burn three time outs in the second half due to massive confusion on the challenging issue of sideline to qb play instruction.

Here is an Instant Classic tape replay of one :


"What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything."

"Well who said what I couldn't hear?"

"It could have been me, but would you repeat what I said?"

"I didn't hear what someone said!!The play clock is running down! Now what the fucl< shall I do??"

""Mr. Rogers, shall we call a time out? Three seconds, sir."

"God! I didn't know this was the lightning round!! Hmmm, what would Etch-A-Sketch(TM) do here? OK...I think time out"

[horseofcourse]

They did have a touchdown but it was called back for illegal formation. I can understand a holding call, or illegal block or offensive pass interference but to have your only successful scoring play not count because you didn't know where to stand is unforgivable I believe. I think that has to fall on Mr Rogers.

New play for next week:

The fake "we're going for it on 4th and inches."

[horseofcourse]

The Tribe traded a middle reliever for a utility infielder named Mike Aviles. Things are looking up for them immediately. Aviles was recently traded to Toronto by Boston for manager John Farrell. antonnetti is just doing brilliant things to turn this around.

[horseofcourse]

the utility infielder role is what you really need to solidify first on any successful team.

So true....although we seem to have amassed a legion of utility infielders,some even play a lot.

That's it!! We have too many utility starters


That pitcher throws at 96-97 and had found a groove with us this year;making this swap look even worse.They did also get a AAA catcher because "we needed to fill out that position in our system,we're thin there"

This s not the way out of the dilemma.

It's a way to get more into the dilemma.

Left Field, 1st Base, 3rd Base and DH.I think they feel the pitching will fix itself because the F.O. and pitching coach certainly can't.They still have a llllong way to go.

[horseofcourse]

Yes, Rogers was not hideous this year. We prefer our pitchers we get from colorado to have 6 ERAs not 3 ERAs. 6 is twice as good as 3 in Tribe minds. As long as we give Obaldo one more year, I'll be pleased.

We're easy to make happy.

Cavs syracuse rookie still playing very well. I'll be glad to be 100 percent wrong on that one. Put on a show with Kyrie last night in LA. 1st win over an NBA team this year.

[horseofcourse]

Cavaliers guards Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters and forward Tyler Zeller combined for 67 points, including 33 in the second half, coming alive in a spirited back-and-forth fourth quarter.

(it is a combined age barely over 60, should I start dreaming one of them may stay?? nahhhhh)

They will win not 1, not 2,not 3,not 4,not 5, not 6, not 7,not 8, not 9( since 7 8 9), but 10 nba titles before the go south.


fire francona!

[horseofcourse]

fire shurmur!!!!

when's the byron scott honeymoom end?? does he have enough high draft picks playing to get fired soon??

!




But I do like Scott, although the fire his ass movement is very strong here for all manager and coaches. In fact, let's get new owners for all 3 as well..

[horseofcourse]

Scott is a good coach I believe.

Let's see a young team not very good to start off with is now playing without their 1st string center, and backup center. Based on my knowledge of hoops, that can't be good for anyone associated with Cavs basketball. Varejao bad knee, Zeller broken cheekbone, concussion. Lets go Cavs!!!!

They have already played 5 games.....that will takes it's toll.


A bye week is desperately needed.

I think I was very,very wrong about Meyer.


Very wrong.

But I still wish they would have gone with Fickell....really do.



Going to go back on when I hammered Schurmur,too.....on that 4th and 2 at his own 28.He explained it and it did make sense.Baltimore had just gone for a long drive and got their only touchdown since the first quarter.The play call was right.They had at least Gregg wide open, but Wheeden tossed it a bit high and a bit high.

I don't think he should have taken heat for that one, so there I go being wrong again.

One other itty bitty....I am very happy we do not have pro hockey..That is about the dumbest thing I have ever seen.They players literally try to kill each other and as far as being able to see the puck from anywhere but rink side is like,4-get it.Plus, there's just no real intelligence working there on the objective;whack the puck into the net.

Basketball is a little better, bot not all that much.

Arena baseball?

Soccer is awful.


I wish there was more and better boxing.It's day may have passed....like Horsey Racing.I accidentally(honest) placed my hand and cupped it perfectly onto a 22 year old girl's boo bee.I somewhat quickly removed it and apologized profusely,telling her it was entirely a mistake.All she could do was turn the brightest shade of red and laugh.

That is not a sport, but it should be.
