watchtower41 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Sports Illustrated is making the Tribe its cover story for the upcoming issue. But as with most things beyond the field, the Indians were ho-hum about the national attention. "Yeah, it's cool," said Aaron Boone. His sentiments were the consensus in the clubhouse. The team seemed more enthralled with Travis Hafner's segment on Spike TV. Coco Crisp orchestrated the segment as a prank on "Pronk." Hits newstands tomorrow. Guess the only thing thats left is to get a damn hit, I guess a win wouldnt hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Losing the ball in the sun is not an error. It happens. That's a terrible example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I think the Indians were pressing in April too. Just watch some of the games against us and how bad guys like Martinez and Hafner were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch some of the games against us and how bad guys like Martinez and Hafner were. They were also hitting in awful conditions at the Jake. We won a few games there earlier in the year cause the wind was howling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like they were pressing then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 and yes, I'm aware that they are in the race NOW, I meant THEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Oh so it didn't effect us, but it did them. This is making a lot of sense. Seeing as how especially ineffective the Sox are when it's cold, typically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 sorry kapkomet, you are dead wrong here. We are not NEARLY as affected by winds and bad weather as other teams. Didn't you watch the first Cubs series? There is a reason we were the best team in baseball when the weather sucked. It favors our style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for every year in the past 15 or so it seems like this team didn't do crap until May. 2000 was an exception, and even then they didn't catch fire until May into June IIRC.

We won a few games there earlier in the year cause the wind was howling in. Even Hawk was talking about these games a few days ago. Hafner and company were hitting bombs vs the Sox, but they were being caught at the warning track due to the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
