Senate that I presented by Lexus continued slump all the way to. You know the coach if his courage as you can turn off your all of your electronic device that you're wrong airplane. They would say turn off your electronic devices but no that yeah OK okay. This could change now that -- -- -- on electronically instantly and -- -- -- he didn't they would hear every wonderful -- Appreciate. I don't -- even better. Conversation even with the electronic device and occupy our bill of health care Harvard pilgrim countless again. I don't think he saved and they expected trying to protected species but. After the game Thursday cardinals makings of an athlete and thought is indefinitely without -- -- that is almost what it says you know you're thinking you can't be quick look at the fast. Other major both the major delay. And I think you can't be as athletic as if you plan for how does that relate to what happened what you thought. You can -- -- your -- too much chatter about let's do this let's change this and I thought we came out played that way you know what I'm sure what we're doing. We don't change what we're doing and that was what was frustrated that leaves -- room. I thought ourselves and in the course of the game that means more effective the wrong thing if you have trusted. The trust -- down. I thought we're doing this. That's why you don't change the NBA season what if you have more ability to do because you're -- Well he changed tonight they want you or not big thing you lose to talk many many times endorsement. Percentage of the playbook it's a new thing now Jason Terry percentage of the playbook goes away there. Don't know what percent is a lot but Jason has been here now know 2530 days so we start to pick up a lot of stuff we can run more stuff. But you know you just do -- a lot of stuff obviously brought little more about the difference between game indeed there -- big difference. Of all the things you don't state that we can talk about. Defense and rebounding from a fourteen hasn't changed that -- that much he's pretty stagnant. We're talking about finally number one question most hotly yet I think it took market year to get them to buy here you know I think last year. I looked and thought you know we can be triggered we have a chance to be a good team that we did it. I think mark so that so you can see this year they're committed to it that. The common theme because that was the idea of what he wants to do and given the way in the contract rosters are set it almost. Takes time to get personnel either eight to -- him but also to figure out who you want to play that way. You have the right person there aren't and the guys don't later -- -- -- to get him out of there -- -- did better as well so. I think that they've done some really good things here the French oftentimes in the -- you talked about the clippers. Being overshadowed by the lakers. And clippers were in their second team Jamal Crawford technically or legally plus minus -- -- I'm not sure he's been much better Jarrett Jack do. You -- your Jackman great lessons of the last 56 days but overall all year. Yeah you know I still don't Crawford but -- -- -- he's one of those eight you know what are combo guard he takes -- apparently he's on he's in that. He's in that 67 year window now guys you posted what he can be really good and now is that whatever -- -- -- to him because he's comfortable now. In the store at the point error position I think what happens -- most of the guards that try to convert to a point. Eight it ruins the shooting it would -- their office today and did they don't have great point guard skills. So massive room -- painful I think now he still has got to make a good point the place. But he's going to be a score and I think everyone's comfortable with him doing. This is underrated or. Instantly yeah I think it is actually dead for years even when they were not good -- are deployed. Again great fan support they had -- had a long when you think about their playoff. Israel the last twenty years in fact they sell out of town of games -- -- -- -- -- -- answer. I think coach released tonight in Minneapolis or new good friend Jerry York and -- but ultimately it's -- -- college college is regards. Yes what do you ever think throughout emea -- I deeply appreciated that. Clearly. It was your hockey knowledge. You'll or Europe here last year and post -- yeah -- had to do -- I thought I was the one little question that he needed. Congratulate. There that got to meet with when you're all -- it and that's pretty cool -- -- and 41 years. I've known for oranges pageant. That is the rest of the gulf that made it. He'll do his coach if you have. Maybe that's why admit that. So that's -- for your next -- WE -- Celtics radio network.

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.
