There's that substantial wad of chaw in his cheek.

Do Colavito tomorrow.

No pennant race for the Tigers this season, so let’s take a look of a couple of clips - in color! - of the pennant winners from 83 summers ago.

I was at a reunion last weekend, the family was based around east of Cleveland.  Its going to take some time to weed out some of the stubborn previous mascot holdovers.

i was in a mediation in ohio a couple years ago and that was my impression as well.

a lot of people will never change.

i was fine with the name, it was the mascot that needed to be retired.

I agree. They could have kept the name, made this guy the new mascot.

Cleveland Guardians are my favorite squadron.

Joey Wentz is the 27th man for the doubleheader. Isan Diaz is gone with Baez returning from bereavement.

actually, I think some team named "Indian" should keep their name and change their mascot to a Ganesh. Just put a baseball bat in place of the sceptre

Wentz is starting game 2; Manning was scheduled initially and will start tomorrow.

Makes sense because you get Wentz today on the 27th man double header roster waiver. You'd have to do a regular call-up if you wanted to use Manning today and Wentz later.

I’ve been looking at these lineups and have never figured out: is there a reason there is an arrow beside a different player’s name each game?

I never really paid attention but I'm guessing the arrow is just for the guy pictured atleast judging by this pic.

Go Miggy 

[RandyMarsh]

Ideal start as Miggy makes it 3-0 with an RBI double.

Miggy climbing the lists.  Still won't be first ballot HOF because Detroit.

That’s not true.  He’s easily first ballot—guy is universally respected and loved.
