2021 HOT STOVE

Ummmm, how many stitches on a baseball?

Caught "A League of Their Own" on tv the other day. One of those movies you can't turn off.

Tom Hanks might of had the best prayers of all prayers.

"God, thank you for the waitress from South Bend, you know who I'm talking about, she kept saying your name"

Simply Sir-com'v-ant*ing trolls and kids in the mains. Also, my picks aren't great. Some folks tail me as if I know what I'm doing. I don't want anyone to lose $. I've somehow managed a miraculous comeback and up 18 units, but picks are slightly under 50%.

Gotta give you an attaboy on that.   

The Cleveland Indians are dropping their name.

Will they think of a new one, or go Washington's route and be known as "The Cleveland Baseball Team"?

Since they are located on Lake Erie, why not call them the Eeries? 

ATTABOYS

Barney - the baby animal thing ain't going to hold up and you know it. Too many non-offensive traditional names are involved, and what are you going to call the Orioles or Cardinals, the Chicks? Peepers? Missouri has a lot of Catfish, so do you rename the Royals after baby catfish? Calves or Piglets ain't going to fly, that's for sure.

Back when the Rams were a joke in L.A. they were dubbed the "Lambs". I will bet the Dodgers are excited about adopting that moniker.

"Calves or Piglets ain't going to fly, that's for sure"

Genius, stick to your day job. Oh wait...

@BarneyBeans, I can't wait to say "I hooked a smallmouth on Lake Kitty"

Now that's a joke Key 

Since most people in Ohio call them "The Tribe" lets go with that. I am sure some politically correct A$$hole will find that offensive also. If we have to come up with something else how about The Cleveland Walleyes although a minor league hockey team in Toledo may have that trademarked. 

Glad you told me. I wouldn't have recognized it otherwise.  

cjm2008 - The Tribe has already been tossed. They announced at the time of the name change idea they were already aware of "the Tribe" and would not be going that way for much the same reasons. They will probably hold one those fans make nominations things and give someone a big prize for first submission of the chosen name, but Tribe is already ineligible. So sorry.

How about the Cleveland "Jacksons"? I will purchase a six pack of discount beer for the guy that can give me the reasoning behind it. Think hard, 24 time limit. Kids won't get it but old timers like JEG and LC might.

Shoeless Joe played for the Cleveland Naps I think for one season when they were run by Nap . Lajoie

Wasn’t Cleveland once known as the Forest City? Maybe they’ll go with something related to that.

After being the Napoleons (Naps)  they were briefly called the Molly McGuires before being the Indians.  If I remember Forest City was a discount store in the Cleveland area.

Maybe they can call them the Papa Ou Ma Ma's after a famous tv show in the 1960-70 hosted by Goulardi.

LC might have seen Shoeless Joe play but that was a bit before me,

So that Florida CBB player that dropped at halftime was suppose to have recovered from Virus,not being able to breathe does not seemed recovered IMO,

Posey has decided to be the Giants catcher next year even if they are playing under Covid19 rules,guess he did not like missing out on his paycheck like the rest of us,wonder if he got unemployment?

I know you guys are already up on the Giants Roster,hate to tell you ATTABOYS something you already know,that seems IRONically.

@JEG53

 Shoeless Joe DIED in his 60s when I was an infant....

@LogCottage

 See I knew you guys were alive at the same time, Key was there with you I bet,.

@JEG53

 That basketball player collapsed and was in critical condition. Reports now say he's alive, breathing and in stable condition.

God Bless

Shoeless Joe died in 1953, and yes, both LC and I were alive then, but he is not the answer.

Back in the 1990's, when Michael Jackson was hot and the Indians were the most inept team ever constructed (cjm should remember) there was a very popular joke going around............

Question: What do Michael Jackson and the Cleveland Indians have in common?

Answer: They all wear gloves on their left hands, for no apparent reason.

Hence, The Cleveland Jacksons
