    I'm from Cleveland, not a Yankee hater, the new stadium looks awsome. I get the feeling it kind of leaves the average fan out with the prices they must be charging for tickets. I have a question. Can the Indians play all their home games there? that would be sweet. :D

    Well this game sucks! Was looking forward to watching this one in crystal clear HD today, but all I've seen is balls going over Gardner's and Swisher's heads. This is like a video game! Does Swisher get on the mound again today?

    On a more positive note the stadium looks awesome. Can't get over how much it looks like the old one.

    Wow, hahahah. Just wow. :lol:

    I sympathize a little though. They did that to us back in 2001 I think. We were up like 15-0 in the first half of the game, and we just phoned in the 2nd half assuming we had secured a victory....nope. The Tribe came back and won the game like 16-15. :shock:

    I remember that, it was the first Sunday night game in August 2001. The Indians won it 15-14 and also beat the Yankees 22-0 in 2004.

    wow, that sucked, for a first game at the New Stadium. or for any game. Every ball was hit very hard, off Wandg and everyone else. I thought maybe Wang was tipping his pitches, it looked like Indian hitters knew what was coming. But then they hit everyone else hard too. I hope Claggett enjoyed his major league career. If anyone ever wondered where the term "cup of coffee" meant in baseball terms, see Claggett. And don't stop swing the ax just yet: enough with Edwar Ramirez. The guy just can't be depended upon. Here's my plan to fix the team:

    Cut Claggett & Edwar. Call up Humberto Sanchez, melancon, or another kid who may be more ready. Just not another Giese, Tomko type retread. and Aceves, who can be a long man

    Enough with Cody ransom. If you're gonna hit .100 with a ton of K's, you BETTER be a gold glove rat 3rd. ransom probably leads the league in errors to go with his .100 average

    When ARod comes back, DH him the entire year, so as not to run therisk of re-injury. Trade for either Hank Blalock or Garrett Atkins, who should both be available since they are expensive, and have been pushed out of their positions. Blalock may come cheaper, because of the injury history.

    Don't worry about matsui being pushed out of DH. he looks done. If he has anything left, then it's a deeper bench

    Send Wang to AAA. I think he'll have to okay it because he's a veteran, but he needs to be fixed, and they can't continue to have 8 inning days out of the bullpen. Give Hughes a few starts to show that 2008 was an aberration for him.

    It's still early,
    Too bad you can't buy any more players like C.C. now.
    Trust me the guy WILL be there.

    Makes you wonder why the Yankees never gave him a long term contract. And always went to arbitration instead. You would think winning 19 games two years in a row would help.

    I wonder if CC and AJ have any regrets now...
    Could be very tough on pitchers.

    I was there as well :evil: ........I went to the 1st Cubs exhibition game a few weeks back when Wang looked like crap...at least we won that one.In the 1st, he struck out the 1st bater and got through that...then Teixeira got that 2 run pop up homer :lol: It was a loooooong day. A good brawl happened just above me in 400's section...chicks fightin each other and dudes fallin down the stairs :lol: It was a beautiful day and I got to take a few people who have never been there, and they loved the place. We will see how balls jump outta this place when the weather gets warmer....I think AJ and CC will be alright as well as Joba and Pettite.I hope so.

    At least we won today

    They can't send Wang to Class AAA. A player has to have options and at least five years of service and Wang has neither since his major league debut was April 2005 and this would be his fifth year of service time.
