Major League Baseball's Scheduling Gods Must Be Crazy
Posted October 24th, 2007 by George Thomas
So yeah, I'm sitting at home sifting through OSU notes today when I get notice that the Indians 2008 schedule has been set.
I open the email like a fat guy attacking a cupcake only to see that the Indians' first home game of the season will arrive on March 31. March 31? MARCH 31?!!!!! Are you freakin' kidding me or did the brain trust at Major League Baseball not get a look at Opening Day 2007.
Ya know, take me out to the ball game…buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack and, gee, by the way, my freakin' limbs are freezin' so gimme some hot chocolate.
I don't know who is responsible for this debacle, but this date does Tribe fans a disservice. Better they start praying for good weather beginning March 1 and hopefully the baseball gods will be listening. Of course, we know what happened with them last week now, don't we?

Lay off attacking those Twinkies, Ding Dongs and all the other goodies, George. They'll kill ya. But be that as it may, here is a good link relative to your … uhh … beef.

Hey, what is it with all these link things appearing in all the blogs the past two months or so? I'm no Internet maven, but isn't there some way to prevent them from appearing?

It's been a decade since the poor Indians have had a new stadium. They need one with a retractable roof. The baseball gods are going to give them an earlier and earlier schedule until the fans come to their senses and ante up.

Geez, Larry. They just finished paying for this one.

Seriously, George. Do something about these link things.

Hey, down here in Florida, where the words "lake effect snow" are but speaking in tongues to the simple, happy natives, the REAL bad news in that scheduling is how early Spring Training will be over.
And that last trek over to Winter Haven will have to come when temps are in the low 70s!

Hey where did all the messages I wrote under my computer pseudo name go?

larry, I think George gave them to Ferry as bait to lure Beno Udrih into town. Hookers and excess blog messages. It's a recruiting tool.
