I took the dog out a few minutes ago and it is snowing in Eastlake! Just a few flakes right now. But pretty cold. Brrrr!

1-3 inches predicted Friday night, but they're on the road. Of course the schedule puts them someplace nice and warm: Chicago, where no more than 1 inch is predicted.

has tonights game been postponed?

Nothing yet, Lou. As of now still on.

Thanks, Ridge Runner..........er, I mean Hillbilly!

I kinda wish we would get postponed as our pitchers need the temps a little higher, methinks.

Just saw that the game is off.

Tonight's game has been postponed. Makeup date TBD.
Please hold on to your tickets. Exchange info/options to come.

Another late call. If people were planning on going tonight, they would have already left work or home.

So, how much does Juan Uribe weigh, anyway?

A little more than his batting average.

LET'S PLAY 2

Quick 5-0 lead!

A couple things different about this year's Tribe were highlighted early.

First, they actually have quite a bit of team speed this year. Imagine that, they've been slow as turtles the last few years.

Jose Ramirez, Rajai Davis can burn (Davis just hit a triple). Add in Lindor and you really have 3 legit speedsters. And Kipnis is no turtle.

The other thing is that they have veteran, legit right handed bats. A Gomes/Santana recovery is important on this count. Lindor as well a switch hitter.

And obviously it's early but I like the Uribe/Byrd/Napoli(who just made a great scoop) additions. Quality people and still have life in them. And minimum commitment/investments.

Antonetti waited out the market for Uribe and Byrd and cherry picked a couple winners late in the winner. IMO of course.

They scored a lot in Arizona (means little) but now are keeping it going. Obviously their first game (David Price) can be forgiven.

And maybe we should have tried harder to trade for Frazier too.

Amen to that! He has 2 homers already this season.
