The Cleveland Fame is another twist on the RnR HoF theme.

[Hairy Lime]

Cleveland Rocks.

Burn on Big River, burn on...

CLEVELAND — Cleveland manager Terry Francona won’t sidestep the hot-button topic any longer. He believes the Indians need to change their contentious nickname.

“I think it's time to move forward,” Francona said Sunday.

I like the Cleveland Fellers, it recalls a storied player, an all-time great, but might be viewed as excluding the gals.

Cleveland Rocks would tie Cleveland's famous Hall of Fame and famed slugger Rocky Colavito, but Colorado might get pissed.

The Cleveland Harders might make a few fans happy, but some could pervert it and the logo might present an issue.

How about Cleveland Steamers, an ode to the city and region's industrial past and chest-thumping pride?

I own the copyright on Cleveland Harders.

The Harders could be a great name

Make them an offer they can't refuse,

or they might consider the Cleveland Lemons

[Hamilton Samuels]

Cleveland Spiders 2.0v.

[Hamilton Samuels]

And I AM not alone in wanting that name.

They could also be the Spidermen!!

That would increase their presence on the Web...

SPEAKERS is the name that makes sense.

[Echo2]

the 40 games against their AL East foes -- 10 games each --will not be evenly split. For example, the Sox will play the Yankees in New York seven times and the Rays in Florida six times. Conversely, Toronto will visit Fenway seven times and the Orioles will be here for six games.

What's with that?!

It would have been too simple to schedule the 4 division rivals 5H 5A for 40 games
and the other league disvision (NL E in this case)  5 teams      2H 2A for 20 games.

Not that its going to matter, but the Sox play the Ys 7 times in NY before their first series against them in late Sept

It makes no sense.

Agreed.

I heard on talk radio (so take it with a big grain of whatever) the imbalance was to reduce travel.

no idea if its true

Intuitively it seems unfair on its face.

So many ways to "reduce travel" that are at least as effective as that.
