What time do the gates at Progressive Field (home of the Cleveland Indians) open on a 3:55pm start?
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009NFL Football (Browns Dealt Cruel Blow)
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009Bob Acton asked:
July 28, 2006 (Cleveland, Ohio) - This city was once dubbed “the mistake by the lake” and they have done a heck of a job trying to change the impression that visitors like myself get when we visit this blue collar city. The Cleveland Indians have played some inspired baseball the past few years. King James rules the throne in basketball with the Cavaliers and the Cleveland Browns, with their rich traditions, have made some great moves during the offseason.
I was looking forward to seeing the new additions to coach Romeo Cremmel’s stable yesterday as this is year two in his regime and optimism reigns supreme at the training headquarters in Berea, Ohio. That was until Thursday morning when the Brownies were conducting their first 11-on-11 drills and their most prized acquisition, All-Pro Center LeCharles Bentley, went down on an innocent running play. Whether it be NFL or College Football, the number one criteria for a winning team is a strong and healthy offensive line. The center is arguably next to a talented quarterback, the most important component in this unit.
He calls all the blocking assignments and every play begins with him huddling up the team and then commencing it with the snap of the ball. A Cleveland native, Bentley spent his first four years with the New Orleans Saints. He started at right guard in his first two seasons and was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2003. The following year, Bentley moved to center and earned his second Pro Bowl selection in 2005.
The Browns forked over $36 million in the offseason to sign him to a 6-year deal and now he will miss the entire year with a torn patella tendon. Bentley’s injury is the latest for a Browns team beset by serious medical setbacks — No. 1 overall picks Courtney Brown and quarterback Tim Couch had several major injuries — since the club returned to the league as an expansion team in 1999.
On Thursday, tight end Kellen Winslow had his first contact after missing the past two seasons with major leg injuries. The Browns also are without wide receiver Braylon Edwards, their first-round pick in 2005, who is expected to be out until Oct. 1 following knee surgery.
While I realize that injuries are a big part of the world of football and playoff bound teams must overcome adversity, the Browns are done in 2006. With a young second year quarterback in Charlie Frye still learning on the job, this is one security blanket he desperately needed.
The good news for Ohio fans is that they still have the Ohio State Buckeyes to cheer for!

(NOTE: Keep the volume down, especially between 1:08 and 1:16, someone behind me screams.) On 9/19/08, Fausto Carmona hits Gary Sheffield with a pitch. This soon leads to a fight! I’m sorry about the awful quality, but I was in the nosebleeds, plus I must admit, i’m not very good at making videos

Cleveland Indians - About Them
Cleveland Indians are a professional baseball team that has been playing in the city since 1869. Known as the Cleveland Spiders in their early years, the team shifted to a new ballpark called League Park in 1891. Louis Sockalexis was the main player of the team at that time. In early years as a franchise, the team’s biggest star was Napoleon Lajoie. To honor him, the Cleveland Indians were also nicknamed as Naps. In 1910, Joe Jackson, another legendary batter, joined the Cleveland roster.
The 1920 Indians were triumphant in most of their matches and the two decades that followed brought some great stars and unforgettable moments. Players like Earl Averill, Mel Harder and Lou Boudreau, a new stadium, and new ownership were some positive changes that came about in the team. The Indians shifted to the new Cleveland Municipal Stadium in 1932.
It was in the 1940s that the Indians were bolstered by veterans like Boudreau, Ray Mack and Feller. Then, Bill Veeck purchased the club and ushered the next great era. He put the Indians in Cleveland Municipal Stadium on a full-time basis from 1947. Veeck made some good decisions and signed some good players like Larry Doby, the A.L.’s first African-American player (in 1947) and Satchel Paige. It was because of these efforts that, in 1948, Indians won the World Series.
In the 1950s, the Clevelands had a new management. Frank Lane became the new GM and his hasty decisions gave him the nickname of “Trader Lane.” He was followed by Gabe Paul. Through the 1960s and 1970s, the Indians suffered economically and their club changed hands frequently. There were constant rumors of relocating the team as well. In this period, Andre Thornton Thornton who battled injuries and personal tragedy was given a place of honor in the team.
Most of the early 1980 was sparked only by individual accomplishments and hardly any team glory. So Cleveland hosted the 1981 All-Star Game to make a comeback. In 1980s, voting was also carried on for a new ballpark for the team. Finally, the team’s fortunes took an upswing with the curtain call at Cleveland Stadium in 1993.
During the 1990s, the Cleveland Indians transformed themselves into one of the most respected franchises in baseball. Cleveland Indians often play their home games at Terrace club ballpark. If you want to see them play, get some Cleveland Indians club seat tickets. An online broker is a good option to get some reasonable bargains of Cleveland Indians club seat tickets.
