Head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said the Indians are in the process of working out the upcoming schedule for Adam Miller, who threw another bullpen this morning. At some point in the near future, Miller should progress to facing live hitters.
Castrovince, judiciously not attempting to define near future. Do you believe?

He shouldn’t have any problem striking me out.

Lots of Journey and other ’80s classic rock blaring in the clubhouse this morning as players packed. These guys are ready.
Not sure if they are ready for the season or for the bride and groom dance at any Parma area wedding reception.

It’s jokes like this that make me glad I can say I grew up in Parma Heights. I stress the last part.

Ditto on the PH pride. I grew up on Halcyon – you?

I lived down the street from the Crowes, but we never hung out. My mom was friends with Mrs. Rudnicki, I think; they had a daughter and a son, right? But I don’t really remember them more than that.

Yeah the Rudnicki’s actually had two daughters and a son (I’m friends with him and see regularly) and am also good friends with Dave Crowe (the middle of the Crowe brothers).

Hey, I actually was a Parma Heights garbage man one summer. Separate trucks for burnables and non-burnables.
My experience has always been that the “Heights” means nothing to anyone outside of PH. If they’re going to diss you about Parma, the Heights ain’t gonna stop them.

I usta live in Parma on the corner of Marlborough and Pearl with a carry-out on one corner a Dairy Queen on another, and a Kenny Kings and Baron’s across the street. Everything a man could want within staggerin’ distance. Half gallon of draft LaBatt’s for a buck at Baron’s, a bucket of crispy for $2.95 and a pack of Winston’s – in the box! – for $.50. Now those were Good Times!

True, true, but this was back when Parma was the Ghoulardi Parma. Drew Carey’s book, Dirty Jokes and Beer probably describes Parma best.

That Dairy Queen and the Kenny Kings is still there, not sure about Baron’s. I believe the first time I made out with a girl was at Marlborough park….

Baron’s burned to the ground – along with the rest of the stores on that triangle – sometime in the 90’s. The carry out’s still there – it’s not Toth’s anymore but there’s still a package store there. I really miss the $.25 fishbowls and the mini-subs from Baron’s.

Fishbowl = 16 oz bowl of suds. Ain’t there any beer drinkers out there?

Nowadays it’s usually a fishbowl-sized glass (or just a clean fishbowl) filled with a very sweet n’ fruity tasting yet ridiculously alcoholic drink, either put in the middle of the table with six straws or placed in front of the birthday girl. I usually only see lady folk ordering them, but apparently in Chuck’s time it was common to fill them with beer. I’d be down for that.

Man you guys kill me. Back in the day you’d get a shot of bar whiskey – usually somedin tasty like Four Roses, or CC – that’s Cold Corby’s back in the ‘hood – and a wash – that’s a four once glass of draft – usually Black Label or Blatz or Stroh’s if the joint was unscale – for ~$.75. At Baron’s – there was two of ‘em one on Pearl in Parma and one on W130th in Parma Heights I think – you could get a fishbowl of LaBatt’s and a double-double – that’s four shots of hooch – and a mini-sub -for about 12 bits. So for about five bucks you could fill up on mini-subs and put your game face on for lunch and go back to work buzzed enough so that you weren’t tempted to kill the little snot-nosed college punk who though he was runnin’ the job. Man those were good times.

This makes me wish Baron’s was still there. Instead Parmanots have Alimony Jacks (where of course those who are on the lamb for not paying alimony can congregate) and Club 42 (which…well,,,they have a poster near the bathroom that shows why you shouldn’t get syphils).

I’ve joked several times with friends that grew up in the area about doing the Parma Bar Crawl. Only one of those places I can say I’ve been to myself is Jimmy’s Place. One of the few bars that will still light a Flaming Doctor Pepper for you. And the darts are free.

I say “still” as if I’ve ever been to another bar that lights them. That kind of stuff only really takes place at college parties.

Ah yes Jimmy’s place, its comparable to club 42, a slight step up. I’d say probably along the lines of Good Time (Charlies) just down the road, but without the strippers and drug dealers.

Onion on your belt time, Chuck.
You lived not far from my best friend’s childhood home. And by not far I mean like a block away. Of course he was probably born about 70 years after you moved out.

Actually I lived there at exactly the same time as Drew Carey. They have a picture of him sitting in the barber’s chair at Joe’s.

huh, I used to live there for a short stint. Definitely after you. The barber I went to claimed she cut his hair as well. And she didn’t call herself Joe. I think she fooled me.

Actually that’s Joe’s daughter, next time you’re in the neighborhood ask her about her ol’ man. He was one hellova guy.

Interestingly enough we had our lecture on hand surgery this morning. Long story short, the doc cringed at Adam Miller’s story and didn’t like his chances to pitch effectively if he goes back under the knife. Scar tissue in the flexor sheath is apparently a beast.
Also! Thanks to LGT I looked like a friggin genius based on my knowledge of pulley systems. No one else had a clue what they were.
