Indians and the thought process.

From Roger Brown's PD column this morning
"No, it's no accident that on the Indians' impressive new Jacobs Field score board, the time is never shown on a consistent, running basis. Indians management wants fans to view at tending home games like going to amusement parks - where checking the time takes a backseat to enjoying the atmosphere."

Another problem with Indians management, and baseball and general, in my opinion, is that they try to sell baseball as something more than baseball. Hey, baseball is a great game, it can sell itself.

I was listening to the Indians teaser before the game (the opening commercial with the theme song before going out to the park) and here's a great quote from GM Mark Shapiro:
"There's a great reason for informed fans to be optimistic."
I guess since I don't agree with the rebuilding, I am uninformed. Right back at you Mark.
