So Far From Heaven

The one I mentioned is just a few blocks away.

The written logo is the same except for the first few letters. Plus, everyone here knows the name refers to the Guardian statues on the Detroit-Superior Bridge. The statues also have wings, so that’s appropriate for the symbol. I think people will get used to the name rather quickly, except for those who oppose any kind of change ever. They’ll…[Read more]

Sounds good to me, but I was hoping for something like the Cleveland 10centbeernighters, in reconition to the greatest day in Cleveland baseball history for a non Cleveland baseball fan!

….as opposed to the half assed effort made by the Washington DC franchise of the NFL.

I also miss Municipal Stadium, I thought it was beautiful.

My best buddy is a Native American, and the Indians name has always been ok with him. Oh well.

I thought it was a silly name until I saw it on TV and realized they can re-use the last 5 letters of the old name on the signs. Clever!

Guardians? Well, it’s no sillier than the Nationals. I’m not even sure what that name is supposed to mean.

If you look at the video on the link, you’ll see that we call the statues of a major bridge over the Cuyahoga River that leads straight to the ballpark the guardians, even though when I first saw them I called it the “Lord of the Rings Bridge.”

As for the so-called MVP…. yeah, he’s literally the Tom Brady of the NBA.…[Read more]

*… by means of referee malfeasance which took two consecutive baskets off the Suns scoreboard early in the game. Should have been a 123-123 tie and gone into overtime. Instead of the 123-119 score that will be in the books.

But apparently somebody in the NBA whined about some of these guys being able to get to Japan in time for the Olympics…[Read more]

And I forgot to post about it after Wednesday’s game, so I guess I don’t care all that much either…..

Anyway, it was the most even game of the playoffs so far. Either team could have won this one right up until the end. The one thing that allowed Milwaukie to seal a victory (and 2 – 2 in the series) was the piss poor officiating. For the bulk…[Read more]
