RE: cold in Cleveland

I remember going to opening day one year in the old Stadium on Labor Day weekend and wearing shorts because it was in the 80s when we left for the game. I forgot that our seats were under roof and the wind was ripping off the lake as per usual. Didnt even have a windbreaker and froze my blessed assurance off!

I know I'm hijacking a thread but one more....In 1988, on my birthday (December 18), I was at the stadium for the final game of the season. The Browns had to beat Houston to get in the playoffs. Bernie was hurt and the Browns were down to Don Strock. It was cold and the snow was swirling in the lights like a surreal snow globe. The Browns fell behind be about three touchdowns and it just kept getting colder. I almost left but then Strock caught fire. They just kept coming back and finally Webster Slaughter caught the winning pass right in front of us. I wasn't cold then, at least not until I walked to the car. My favorite birthday ever!

I thought cini was in the superbowl in 1988. The year before was the strike year.

When the call came to Pete Rose Tue. night that he had LEAGUE'S MOST VALUABLE PLAYER ,His 4 year old son,Pete Jr.was all ears!!! IMO This man should be in in the "HALL"

If you read yesterdays Cols Dispatch it isnt likely to happen in Bud Light's lifetime as Commissioner.

Well they gave it to him for life so lets hope its a short one.

Pete will probably make the HOF about 5 years after he dies.

[Orange and Brown]

Well the all-star break is over so its time to see if the Reds can make something happen.
My hopes at the begining of the year were for the Reds to finish 2nd or 3rd. The central is wide open though so if they can get on a good run who knows what can happen.
They just have to be consistant



GO REDS GO!!!!!!!!

[BBallin fool]

[Orange and Brown]

They need to get it right.

[dazed&confused]

They obviously still need more pieces. Will they NOW start talking trades to get more young talent in the pipeline?

[Orange and Brown]

The 2nd half is going to be a long one!!

[BBallin fool]

I think your right!!!

[Orange and Brown]

Maybe Dusty can rally them but I think they have given up.

[BBallin fool]

Just 5 1/2 back there still in the hunt, Whos on the trading blocks before the dead line?
