The_Admiral Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey, maybe the people of Milwaukee will finally get to watch some quality baseball.... oops, did I say that out loud?*ZING!*Don't sleep on this year's Brewers. First of all, it's uncomfortable. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it make sense to play this series in Anaheim and then have a series that was scheduled for Anaheim moved to Cleveland to balance it out?MLB rules don't allow for a team to play in the Pacific time zone one day, and the Eastern time zone the next (or so I read earlier regarding why Milwaukee was the choice over Anaheim). That seems unlikely, but it's what I read. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case they would have to waive the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Don't sleep on this year's Brewers. First of all, it's uncomfortable.That what keeps me from doing it, sir. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

WJMorris3 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I feel sorry for the Indians and their fans losing home games snow outs and 1 out away Friday before the game was called.One strike away in fact. Crafty manager, that Hargrove is.So the Indians are either returning to the happy hunting grounds or leaving the reservation. Can they have the roof open a crack the first game? That way they can be "juuuuuuust a bit outside" for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 The Umps should have ejected Hargrove and let the game continue. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By rule, a no-hitter must feature the pitcher(s) pitching at least 9 innings, thus why Andy Hawkins is no longer considered to have thrown a no-hitter.

PeytonManningRocks Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hmm...so now Milwaukee will have hosted both Indian teams (Braves/Indians). Maybe the Atlanta Braves can let the Cleveland Indians use the old Milwaukee Braves unis for this series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 But then they'd say "Braves." That doesn't make any sense. It would have to be what they wore in the movie. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning River Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Another thing I heard is that the Indians were willing to "give" Anaheim these three games. They needed to get the team out there and play some baseball! So, the Angels ticket holders would NOT be affected. The previously scheduled Angels Home games were NOT going to be moved to Cleveland. There was no "swap". So, the Angels would have played 84 games in Angels Stadium. I think the Tribe would have been considered "home" though, for the first 3. Due to "logisitcs" and flight arrangements, the Angels said "no". They didn't want to play in CA Thursday then in Boston on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBear Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 From this morning's Milwaukee paper, it was Cleveland's idea to call Milwaukee. It's within driving distance and maybe an hour extra flight time for the teams' next games. Reports are they've already sold about 12,000 tix for the series, which ain't bad for the first day. Hell, I'd go if I could (broke this week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Apparently Tampa Bay and Houston were backup plans if Milwaukee could not accommodate the Indians.http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/sports/related/C142/I suppose either of those cities would have been acceptable ------ if the commissioner's daughter owned either of the franchises that play there.
