Q: Is this the most you’ve looked forward to a year, to prove something?

TH: You look forward to every year and you prepare for every year, but it just feels like I haven’t played for so long that I’m excited to get back out there and start playing again.

Q: Do you have to fight doubt?

TH: Not really. I feel my shoulder is healthy now and it’s not going to be an issue.

Good point. What kind of idiot doesn’t know that?

come on, Brick. the correct answer was “Turd Ferguson”. This is little league stuff…

by APV on Jan 15, 2009 3:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

sure seems that way, huh?

i pine for the days of grand slams … the days of pronk being the best hitter in AL … and think that, second only to the uncertainty in the starting rotation, hafner’s recovery is an important variable in the tribe’s ability to compete this year. not the be-all-end-all, mind you, but …

also, i feel i should call attention to this comment on the PD website…

“Hope you are back you big muscular man you. I felt like an idiot for wearing your jersey to the game. I want to feel proud again like years past. Good luck to you fine sir.”

Yes, I too hope the big muscular man is back.

“It’s a night and day difference from this summer,” Hafner said. “This summer, I’d do a set of 10 [repetitions in lifting workouts], and it would take three to five minutes to recover. Now I can just hop in between with no rest at all. Just in general, it feels like it’s getting back to normal.”

by macasson on Jan 15, 2009 5:08 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

hopefully lifting weights is like hitting a baseball. We’ll be fine.

I guess I didn’t realize he hasn’t actually swung a bat in several months. Well, at least he’s been drinking, so I don’t feel so uneasy now.

Giving his left elbow a workout.

Who drinks with their left hand? I’m even mostly left handed and I don’t do that.

As a lefty, I must say I’m ambidextrous in my alcoholic ways.

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

I’m lefthanded too. If the bartender puts the glass down on my left side, I use that hand. If the bartender puts the glass down on the right side, I go with the right hand.

Mad libs!

If _______ [SITUATION], I use that hand. If _______ [SITUATION], I go with the right hand.

What if you get a beer out of the fridge? What hand do you use then?

Right. Refrigerator door opens from the right side. Must use left hand to open so I don’t get tangled up.

by odradek on Jan 16, 2009 6:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Likewise—whichever hand is closer to the glass.

by jds16 on Jan 16, 2009 12:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Well, it would only make sense to drink Left Hand Brewery’s beers with your left hand.

I like this post.

One of Those Grady is Likeable and Awesome Articles
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.
