Going down to COPA Friday. Hopefully, the hole we need to dig ourselves out of doesn't get any deeper. |

I'm so disgusted, I'm watching more of the Cavs/Celts game. Good luck with the game, I'll be at Kaufman Stadium next Thursday. Got some good seats right behind home plate |

The best baseball I ever watched (except for Tigs '68 & '84) was in Huntsville, AL...Double A team...Huntsville Stars...at least they were all really trying hard...for $20 I could park the car, get a game ticket plus a couple of beers and two hot dogs...a great way to spend a summer evening...I long ago gave up buying tickets to a "major" league game. |

Sounds like TV camera seats. We'll look for the guy in the Tiger's hat, and the beer drenched shirt. |

Last time we sat in these seats we were just out of the camera view. It might take a foul ball. Section 101 Row R |

That's possible, Their fans are pretty cool. Of course when your teams has sucked for as long as theirs you become rather docile. This year may be different. |

Here's a hint guys. Wakefields a knuckleballer, you can't swing out of your shoes.

Of course, we're going to have to put up with Yankee fans. 2nd worse, White Sucks fans, 3rd worst Indian fans, 4th worse, Red Sucks fans. |

Yankee fans are by far the worse. The sense of entitlement is amazing |

7K: Good catch. Jjaba would have gotten lost for sure.
Looks like I dated (and I don't mean went out with) myself. I just checked Google Earth and discovered that City Airport (aka Soulman Young Airport) was expanded since my time and took out McNichols between French and Conner. Back in my day it went all the way through to Gratiot without interruption where it's name changes to Seymour. Then Seymour goes the rest of the way to Denby. Even though the Six Mile designation officially ends at Gratiot, those of us who lived two blocks from Seymour continued to call it Six Mile anyway. |

I hate the Red Sucks too, but I do like the Fever Pitch movie. If Drew Barrymore was a Tiger's fan instead, we would likely do better. |

Good game. It should be interesting how the skipper mumbles his way through this post game interview. |

7K: Real bummer about McNichols. I wouldn't want to look dumb in front of the Westside intellectual. So far he's been nice to me, but I don't know if I can trust him..... Anyone remember Silversteins war surplus at McNichols and Van Dyke? A huge place to our young eyes, many buildings. We used to ride our bikes from home all the way over there to check out their inventory. We all bought an Army training rifle from there. It was just for drill practice... phony barrel and no firing pin. |

Yeah, they were too cheap to tunnel it under the runways. Silversteins was a cool store. There was also a junk yard next to it. I brought in 7 car batteries to sell for 4.50 a piece there once. They were just sitting in our garage from the days of junkers past. |

Silversteins was way cool, especially to a kid. They use to give away free trinkets like rubber ball paddles and had a great selection of Navy P coats. What a great eastside tradition. |

Silverstein's was great...I bought a bayonet there when I was in the seventh grade (can you imagine doing that today)...I cut in two pieces to make a pair of bookends in woodshop at Columbus...it looks like the bayonet runs through the books...still have the pair. I also have a pair of WWII pilot sunglasses that I bought there when I was 14...have replaced the lenses but they're still great aviator glasses.
OD: I'm with you...I didn't know that a piece of Six Nichols had been taken by City Airport (f__k Coleman Young). My folks are buried just off the airport site on the Gratiot side in Gethsemane. |

GB: Jjaba must be careful or he could end up visiting your folks in his VW minivan ... East on McNichols to the airport... Turn right on runway ... Proceed to cemetary. |

OD: I think maybe we better send an escort to meet Jjaba at the Woodward checkpoint before he proceeds to the Eastside...a platoon of Marines should do it. That or you, me and ES well armed. |

GB D:7K: Silversteins was a great place just to go looking at STUFF. Dexter Bus Boys selective memory about growing up on the westside is totally sad... Not knowing about Roosevelt -Durfee - Central HS is interesting. I am out as to the tour for the dexter bus boy.... who give a shit about what he thinks anyways... bus boy do us a favor and start a CT or mackenzie thread and thanks for stopping by.....

There was a railroad that crossed McNichols somewhere near Silversteins. For all I know it might still be there. When we rode our bikes to Silversteins we would always put a couple pennies on the track for the train to crush. Imagine us standing there a few feet from the train as it went by. People would freak out over that today. Considering the things we used to do as kids I guess we're probably lucky to be alive today. |
