While I was driving to school today, I was listening to the Tony Rizzo show. I heard them Talking about the possiblity of bringing back Thome. However, I didn't hear if this was based off an actual rumor or, simply their own opinions. I for one would love to see Thome back in Cleveland but, don't know if it is worth bringing in a 40 year old DH who would be yet another lefty in an already lefty heavy lineup. I was just curious if anyone else has heard this rumor and what your opinion is of it?

Hey everyone, I have recently taken an intrest in seeing what recruits from my high school class (2012) would be coming out of my area and i was wondering if anybody knew any names of guys being recruited from the Cleveland Ohio area and also how serious Penn State is about recruiting Tom Strobel from Mentor Ohio. Don't worry either, i absoulutely hate the Buckeyes in fact I plan on trying to get myself into PSU when the time comes even if it means going to a smaller branch.

This post may be irrelavent to many of the LGT followers however, due to the influx of trades in recent years, I decided to look at what could have been in a perfect world. The following roster and lineup are what the Tribe could have looked like had they been able to keep their players together. Understand that I realize this would have taken a lot of money as well as many of the free agents we signed would have never been part of the organization.

It has been several weeks since I attempted to post something on this site but here it goes again. I, as you may know, am an avid, but young Indians fan. Like every young fan, I have made mistakes and upset people who don't need to be upset. I formally apologize to all those whom I may have flustered in my last 2 years of savage posting on this site. With my 16th birthday rapidly approaching, I have decided to turn over a new leaf and begin to accept what the intelligent minds of LGT have to offer and view it as strictly constructive criticism.

With that being said, I have been following the Indians since the day pitchers and catchers reported. I have to say that I have been excited about what I have seen so far:

Asdrubal Cabrera- .750 BA proves in my mind at least that last year wasn't just a fluke and he could be a thrill to have on this team as a cornerstone of a rebuilding process.

As a team, the Indians have an ERA, correct me if I am wrong, of 1.33. This is a reason for excitement simply due to the fact that the Indians haven't been praised about the Pitching Staff in months past as well as the good pitching is coming in the warm Arizona desert in which the baseball has a tendency to fly.

My final reason for excitement is based of the insight that Bruce Drennan provided today. He, like many other Cleveland fans is elated to see that the Indians have started well, one of the main things they could never accomplish under Wedge. He also believes that the lineup that the Indians are able to put out could prove to be one that could propel the Indians into contention as early as this year.

As I stated previously, I am sorry for the childish way that I acted before but I would like to start over and provide the insight that I can and get the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that every young fan needs.

The other day, my Brother told my Dad and me that one of his teachers thinks that the Cavs will win more games than the Indians did this year. At first i thought that this was an ridiculous statement however, as i thought about it, it began to seem like a major possibility. This got me wondering how many times this has happend in history where a cities NBA team wins more games than their MLB game. I haven't done any research on it yet but i decided before i do that I would ask LGT if they knew.
