Well obviously you know -- just when I'm not lost. The second time this -- National Football League you to be able to turn the page quickly and there are their and it doesn't cost an expert outdoor. I was gonna ask you it's the jets so obviously. It's a divisional game it's a rivalry it certainly gets your attention. But has it been a little louder little livelier with the coaches this week -- practice than normal. Other northern remember observations are essential Virtue Party there you like you said there's a huge game huge divisional game. A home game and that is Pakistan -- in the middle attack. -- -- three it is again. Our shores up and -- nags at you whether you win a game or lose one and before you get turned that page and concentrate on the jets what was that. About the Seattle game that stuck out to you -- and required some additional attention before you can focus in New York. Regardless really you know you question and we -- that cap in place.

They know what we heard this from -- before that they didn't do anything that surprised you you guys had a good week of practice. But I am curious about Russell Wilson was he the same in person as you appear to be on film you know sometimes guys look. Fast on film and even passed from person what were your impressions of him. I mean you look so that I know he's such as that he he sure and he can make all the throws. They're great Japanese and they won again. Are -- about the jets this -- the two things that jump out at the and I certainly. Shonn Greene running the football last week in the fact that there's the possibility. That they may use Tim Tebow a little bit more with Joseph McKnight down with a knee injury. What do you expect specially with the fact that they have used both Sanchez and T ball in the back to what you expect. Pretty much at extra got infected -- -- get to go what opened my. Yet to be ready to make -- -- on the silence that we don't know what to expect these to -- Now she boasts such a versatile players in -- -- -- receiver Obama are running back into their quarterbacks.

That stole the ball with the F fake punt they're they've done a lot of stuff that's uncharacteristic. And that they don't necessarily keep Sanchez in at the same spot every play much more work was it during the course of the week to prepare. Well and obviously kicked a lot more optional said he yesterday it could go back to look at all -- -- -- -- look at all the games. People have been there. Now I would say takes a lot more time in the normal but also in the off tournament. I think the coaches did a great job -- different looks you know not found what they expected going up Saddam flexible. You assess your defense. I don't know if you listen to radio watch TV but the defense has taken. A great deal of criticism this season if if you had to characterize. Your own defense in your own words W how to characterize. You know if they are looking up tomorrow I'm not very big not -- -- -- I -- -- not just from watching a guy named platinum album should lecture them and Utah State played with specific players are. I really can't not think we do that will be okay. It was a killer joke where you you you have two great players do great stops. And then one of those forty plus yard plays out of nowhere -- in the third and long -- that's got to -- times frustrating when you know. That you've done your job the first two downs and here they are paella out. I guess frustrating -- that's 200 something like penalties are. You know something like a ball coach -- that if all the structure but the facts are. That would at least slow and we gave a -- that we are trying to get better and influential figure one day at a time although shall we want to get enough of -- absolutely.

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.

More from this showBy and large, the focus of development in the minor leagues is on players. Still, there is a developmental path for coaches and managers in the farm system, as is evident from the fact that the previous two managers of the Red Sox' Triple-A affiliate in Pawtucket -- Torey Lovullo (2010) and Arnie Beyeler (2011-12) are now both on the Red Sox' big league coaching staff. They share their insights about the differences between player and coaching expectations in Triple-A vs. the majors, while discussing professional development from the perspective of former minor league managers who aspire to similar positions in the big leagues.
