Thread: C.C. Sabathia: Traded to Brewers?

Well at least you can see this conundrum subjectively Bill. Kudos! Us Baseball fans outside of Boston and NY would like the opportunity to see other teams play on a national level than the same two. Tonight's game (Brewers vs. Cubs) is the perfect example.

Angels fan that I am, I will be flipping channels between innings to watch the goings on in Beer Town.

Must be nice to have MLB EI.

On another note, I've decided to root for the Brewers to come out of the NL. They seemed like a long shot at the beginning of the year, haven't been to the playoffs in quite a while and are a middle class blue collar town like Cleveland. Plus they now have long time Indian ace, Sabathia pitching for them.

Milwaukee won my respect when they opened their ballpark to the Indians at the start of the '07 season. The first few weeks at home were snowed out in Cleveland and Milwaukee was the fist team to step up and offer their facilities for us to use. After canceling our first home series against the Mariners, the Indians moved the second series to Milwaukee. The Tribe played the Angles there.

Those "home" games played at Miller Park also drew a pretty decent crowd. The three-game series averaged a surprising 17,498 fans in attendance! So the locals even helped root for the "home" team Indians to win the 3 game series against the Angels: 2-1.

Yes, the beginning of a magical year for the Tribe and an OK year for the Angels.

Yeah, '07 was very weird, but a very fun ride all the way through. Ahhh. Those were the days....

In today's sports section of Cleveland newspaper, The Plain Dealer, Sabathia bought a $12,870 black-and-white ad to thank the fans and city for his 10-year career here in Cleveland.

The ad has pictures of Sabathia, his wife and kids. He thanks a number of organizations and charities he's worked for here in Cleveland as well.

Here's the brunt of the letter....

"Thank you for 10 great Years...

You've touched our lives with kindness, love and generosity. We are forever grateful!

It's been a privilege and an honor!"
