I made the Scene

A much shorter version will appear in the print edition. I really should have been posting more here instead of spilling my guts to this guy, but you guys all know I'm a media whore.

Great interview, and it’s remarkable how many Tribe subjects can be dealt with knowledgeably in a relatively brief piece. Maybe someday Hoynes and the PD will take note of what’s possible and upgrade their Indians coverage! Maybe there will be world peace!

With the very interesting trade for DeRosa just announced, our need for fill-in versatility in the infield is met, and by a guy who can still get on base even if he’s declining. Which brings us to your Starter speculation. Since DeRosa eats up $5.5 million of payroll, do you think we still have enough left over for a starter? Given the slow market for free agents, it looks like taking our time on signing a starter can only help us. Lastly, is Barfield/Marte era now done and over with?

Wish i had time to read this now. Time to get something else done.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

Oh, yeah, I guess that’s the real final statement on C.C. — he’s a jackass AND he choked in the playoffs, four times.

nice interview or act of being interviewed (?), or both really. Pretty much on the mark about Hoynes.

Vince was a mainstay at UniWatchBlog for awhile. (Paul Lukas’ assistant to the regional manager, so to speak)

Small world, this internet.

Signature to be named later.

I tried to ‘Z’ my way through it. Oops. Good read.

Hi Jay!
Living on the west coast, I, of course, wouldn’t know you from Adam (or Ryan for that matter) but I’ve come to really enjoy the banter here on LGT. I just am asking if the picture posted with this article is of you… is that you on the right? It would explain allot. Thanx

Flattery will get you everywhere with Jay. And that’s Jay on the left.

I admit i clicked again, thinking I’d missed something.

I am currently trying to figure out if larzko thinks that Mark Shapiro posts on LGT with the moniker “Jay”

No, Jay looks just like George Clooney.

Good article as always, though the DeRosa trade blows up a few of your answers. But trades are impossible to predict, so you can’t be blamed. And nobody could blame you for trying to get your self out there in the media.

I think the real stab in the back is all the potty talk that is banned here. Swear words = fun.
