When you're part of Canada and prosper when the temperature dropped -- -- too much -- I also picture as gray and cold and windy is that accurate. -- -- away a lot more -- and great. -- -- about TrueCrypt great let's let's would you rather be there are Atlanta which is a better hockey town. -- -- That political play and not be here. But I don't. Let's go let's back up and go to Montreal where you'll send kids by the Canadian fans cheering when char took a shot the chin and stitches. I would there was -- -- so you'll play as well in order coming from fleeing. Kernel code. They didn't give very different story -- Arena for whatever they robbery capital the letter what -- you know. -- if not can Matt Cooke took what in the chops in Boston you'd expect the Bruins fans react just about like that when you. Well -- -- our business that they look at. Addition before no it's not open values. Shown -- like -- like that that I fully understand what you're just. When people talk about it is being issued a ground oriented people carry a lot of what it is you know sure it's not just go to -- word. You know it did you share a lot of -- that is the Serb. The other passionate and -- -- are huge. And so when when you're in a hole most bitter rivals and from the biggest damaging Gonzales -- Lucas said it thought I -- They are rich Beverley is back in Boston getting his knee looked at and I read in the Paper this morning he's not expected to rejoin the team for the remaining five games on the road trip. Obviously Horton has been out awhile and -- she feels that that -- can you talk about the domino effect. Of losing key players and how it affects other individuals games and and the consistency that you try to bring night in a night out. Notebook Saudi it is especially if you it's not important -- -- certain guys for a long time that -- And it's wonderful but. You know that's. Now that just comes don't shoot. You know something that's if GM you're looking at players you don't they wonder what our adaptable are well. Know how quickly they can -- -- Why don't you aren't either changed there's value we're change we're that they were certain players who format so you'll also know more people you have it can be our first. What -- better he can while obviously some good work better do learn such you know I I think says you know over the past there appears you know without. I think a pretty good. We're pretty good success with vendors doing -- -- mean it's -- pretty big guy. And it also I think is gonna concert during -- that's it you know Kyra all you review my level would displace there's. Won't know my image been out. I'd serious question Andrews there a team breakfast at some point this morning and we'll you make short -- Sagan gets there. I don't know any true rather than literally drives. I offered him this because caught my room last night assistant -- studied very. Look local issue that. Well you I mean honestly would you if you weren't there were times the breakfast at and then -- say eleven. Would you go up maquiladora make sure it doesn't happen again. Yeah waterway was caught on to assert. I mean we've we've we've. Somehow break into your room during a lot -- -- and then of course they had all sorts of people he had trouble -- -- last time. Are overdue where were strong but. It just -- up -- -- -- and in which earlier was you and there was this much go to our. This so you don't you sound like you don't expect someone that they haven't again. I don't know I don't think so. -- under the Columbus Dispatch reported yesterday that the Bruins are one of five teams for whom star forward Rick Nash would waive his no trade clause the others will be the Rangers -- yet they need him a lot. The sharks the kings in the Maple Leafs -- thing about Rick Nash joining the Bruins. Or you don't mean you'd walk -- renewed their car. You know but I think moving a player like better than the bloody users send them doesn't he know -- with the salary cap world. And all that goes without so I'm. Yeah I don't think anybody in the locker room districts and we'll hear what we're losers were especially bad -- candidates. In order except it pretty difficult to portray -- uncertain -- however I think about it more I didn't really what you like is here and players now compared to a few years ago. Breaking Boston's order chain them I mean. You know people wanna come Abbas now we've changed the culture some. You know where -- before I think pupil freeagent certain you've got to -- with the most current situation might have had intended for. While before criminal intent and power salute is a place where it. I mean we we -- in the -- all the top guys to that's. We're we're very attractive destination. You wouldn't trade to harass or would you. Problem look at Jim sort of what general asked that question has got a. Well let's look at me -- would you would you guess a young goaltender that is yes just a definite yes. Are you expecting some big deal that shore up -- team here. -- -- -- mean but I never expected anything like this that I think that you'll lose so hard to do for the GM's. You know I never expected and bigotry is never expect him recommended that he does. -- play with a guy that he got the greens are I think it's kind of silly to. To speculate group and a whole virtual. To wonder what's going on to console. And it's completely out of our control we're gonna -- your vote you try to play him. What do you hope happens to the Rangers how do the Rangers come back to earth. Or replace gridlock in Green who I think that's. Or -- -- chambers serve. You you know I think that when you and a biopsy he just. Will be going to -- this system -- -- -- -- it did its what -- I mean. It's. The -- big could consider is you know them against. So I think we'll be roster shooting in -- -- -- changing -- in our conference let's include beer. Won't know really you really curious. Are they better than -- thought they better than you expected when you play and the other day was that. No no matter army and I think it's because of the play very disciplined and -- and I don't know I think you know losses initiative so popular critical term elections. Something that we know although -- -- changeup looked good -- I -- really. Generated you know quite a few shots and some good some decent chance -- than symbolic show up big jerk almost want so symbolic resolution ought to look that we can -- serve. You know how how big -- of structure. You got shot blocking the core ultra can be moved indoors. Or in -- -- discourage you looked at it as. You push abortion abortion. -- your final question for me -- a local guy and Josh Hennessy is probably gonna make his Bruin debuted tonight he spent last year I think overseas and switch eleven and 49 games in Providence. What adjustment like to jump into a new team in the middle of the season and try to hit the ground running or skating and and what kind of player -- as far -- can tell. I'm also really don't know what term aquarius. Viewer input the first the but I I don't trust it Q. Well -- and conditioning coach does -- like I know the guys the best the Eagles are two problems a lot to me. You know guys' characters who are the work particularly important sure. You know who gets good trip comes up so yeah I know I mean immunity he. If you are working guy and and and Garcia's -- Kind of -- -- of you -- not a complicated game but just so hard work well honesty -- new -- a lot of our players so I think you know when you when you have a you know the same style of the Girardi played it -- saudis your assessment but I try to come and be complicated. Can't beat you can't declare ourselves like that certain. You know you have the lecture just kind of keeping it simple and of not straying too far the bowl game. They Andrew Sports Illustrated did a poll of all a bunch of NHL players. Anonymous and they asked this question. Which all star caliber player is the easiest. To intimidate and you'll be glad to know no Bruins were named. And no defenseman got more than one votes -- was -- defenseman -- Bruins on the list so you're off the -- -- but. Would you care to guess. -- could -- all star caliber. All you sell yourself short but we can't guess who made the list to who's number one. And harried. You're you've got to me Canada so it's possible to talk. Majora Winnipeg don't get the Sports Illustrated like three weeks are. -- do nothing nothing gets appear at a lower rated. Boy you got free all fronts in the top the list number one is Phil Kessel. Number 28 and to be they think they lump them together for the -- didn't -- assistant to sit at the. Would you been ordered a -- vote now -- would you would you know floor. I'm glad we did really get -- -- -- and now he got it now and back created. Well I am I am I'm assuming that a lot of people. -- also watching argued against those guys because -- yeah definitely a couple of factors. You know were -- when people leave her. Our own player believes such a pretty big factor -- and -- to the folks. I'll hopefully -- the last. Goose island well or not. Hey briefly what's the Serb National Geographic documentary thing all about did you go a little window that. Well hopefully -- a little bit more I caught the Kardashians. If it's basically. Developer wants all of them and check out some of the different environmental stuff that's. -- don't know that a revolver and and and doing -- and I think it is I don't wanna choose. -- -- and inside you know. What are overweight are you so big it's it's. I don't it's -- to -- -- -- -- video but also it will cost tortured -- not -- Is it the economy at the. A Bruins get involved in politics work -- go wrong. It Garrett. -- just featured in it are you the host of it what you role particularly in the show. Just preacher and yeah. That is so they I guess they it's more -- out. You know the -- character. That's going on what are you also of the marine litter. You know going Green and then some of what some of the project the league has been doing com you know whether it's got some live absurd or just below. But I would secure engines also -- so to -- me a little there -- -- a lot of what you're aware of. We ever get to see you composting banana peels and potato skins. Yeah I think America. But they don't want to make it -- -- -- -- okay good good to have you you have I think I saw you -- to work -- -- biking to work correct. Or yeah it -- the preview and this followed me around on cup date. So -- go over that. And then we have we we haven't even shot almost a bit but I think there's there's some stuff.

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.
