    I'll start the "prediction" thread....look for it on the board and make your prediction for the 2017 season.

    Everything I'm reading is Brantley still not named to the 25 but is traveling with the team to Texas (Bastian and Hoynes). So looks like he will be on the roster but still not confirmed.

    As an aside...t-bone should be awarded the first thread of the season for his performance last year and in the playoffs.

    Got a new hat today at Sam's Club for just $11 in anticipation for the season.

    Hunting camo in front and bill with Chief Wahoo logo and navy blue back.

    Pretty cool.

    Go Tribe.

    I was laughing on the drive in this morning when one of the guys on the radio said "the Tribe has signed CHRIS Perez to a 4 year extension." I was like WTF?

    I don't believe you, who is starting for the Tribe tonight?

    We aren’t robots. We’re human beings,

    Hate to burst his bubble but attendance is going to be similar to last season...especially during the week in April and May.

    I heard season ticket sales were up a decent percentage, but don't know how much

    I'll wait for Gardens and maybe Hits and any other old timer who might weigh in before I give the answer.

    Go Tribe.

    I want to say 11 in a row. I turned 5 in June of that year but I recognize the players names and I think the subject was brought up over the years during my "Tribe talks" with my father.

    They've already sold 1.2 million tickets, they didn't hit that until July 4th last year.
