If (when?) Cleveland loses Thome, look for home attendance to DROP big-time. The fans love Vizquel but Thome is the guy who has given the fans the power boost more often than not. My Cleveland Indians, I hardly know ye anymore!

TC - I know it's hard to dismantle the team, but we already started we might as well kick into high gear and trade every damned asset we can; yesterday we suposedly got the Dodgers number one prospect for Paul Shuey, and we already have Montreal's top guy - I say next is Omar if anyone wants an older SS, then Thome, then on an on. You can't expect the attendance to stay sell-outs, but the Tribe will still outdraw most ballparks.....As one sign in Cleveland said "PLAYERS: STRIKE TILL 2005" !!!! (the year Cleve is suposed to contend again)
