I like to compare my love fest with the Tribe by the lyrics of this 'ol song....
The summer wind, came blowin in - from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind
What? No midgies???? No huge flocks of seagulls???
SPORTS TIE IN: I remember when Mr. S's recording of "Summer Wind" was the soundtrack of an MLB advertisement a few years back. Fabulous recording!
I've got plenty of Sinatra in my collection. My oldest boys can't stand it when I play him on Sunday mornings.
Who is this Sinatra guy you speak of.
Funny, but I got all misty-eyed for a minute watching the Wings-Pens game last night. The old arena in Pittsburgh is probably one of the last ones still standing where Mr. S performed. I saw him there "center ice" one evening when it was still called the Pittsburgh Civic Arena! :up
They will grow into Mr. S as time goes on, Dad. Just keep playing those recordings. They'll remember you for it long after you've gone.
I was raised on "Sundays with Sinatra" from Sid Mark on the radio back in Philly.
Saw him sometime around the early 80's at the Fox Theatre. My first wife and I took my parents for their wedding anniversary. Wish I could have seen him in the "salad" days.
And soon it will be torn down.
I did see my first concert there, 1984, jr. in high school, I saw Motley Crue and Ozzy.
Maybe Pittsburgh will be able to christen the arena with the Stanley cup you're not going to win this year.

Back to the Indians....
With the Tribe continuing to flounder (22-32, eight games back) and the injuries mounting seemingly on a daily basis, not one, but two different national websites have begun the calls for GM Mark Shapiro to start an Indians fire sale.

This piece also had an interesting quotes from Shapiro:
Top National Sports blog The Big Lead piled on as well:
Lotsa talk about DeRo going back to the Braves which he would love as he lives outside Atlanta. Atlanta has pitching to give up, but does Atlanta want to negotiate with DeRo for after this season?
All I can say is it sure must feel nice to be wanted and needed so many places! I just hope he goes to a contender.
Who do you think is going to get taken out tonight?
Any odds on the Yankees kicking butt tonight too?
Maybe we will we have a riot tonight!
This is an Indians thread.
That belongs in the MLB thread.
Wrong place.
What you posted is more interesting than "Who do you think will be the next Indian to land on the DL?"

...and of course Barfield was brought up for tonight as Cabrera joins the list of "walking wounded".
