I'm thinking Joe Smith. Put Masty in as either the long reliever or set up guy.

Paradise found: Porco Lounge brings Tiki drinks, Polynesian pop and exotic decor to Cleveland's West 25th Street No man is an island? Well, allow me to introduce you to Stefan Was. A man who heard the thunder and the voices of the Tiki gods. A man who took them in as his muse. A man who said, “I shall build this temple to the gods of Polynesia, even as the hordes worship at the altar of craft beer.” We, OK, he didn’t actually say that. But he is doing something no man has done, at least in Cleveland, in decades. On Oct. 5, Was will open Porco Lounge & Tiki Room, 2527 West 25th St., Cleveland. http://www.cleveland.com/dining/index.ssf/2013/09/paradise_found_porco_lounge_br.html#incart_river_default

I bought 6 tix for the game tonight. Printing them out as I type this. GO TRIBE!

I now take my odds of the browns winning the super bowl down to 50%. My co-worker said "You might as well just bet on red or black at that point." I said "I only play on roulette tables that are orange and brown."

If they get a win tonight it will be hard for them NOT to make the wild card. How bout that bullpen?

Visiting Cleveland, on Purpose Cleveland In a 2008 episode of '30 Rock,' Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) faced a big decision at an airport security check: Keep a still-hot sandwich or dump it fly to Cleveland for love. Lemon’s choice is obvious. Poor Cleveland didn't stand a chance. http://www.mensjournal.com/travel/cities/visiting-cleveland-on-purpose-20130911?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_content=1753782

I doubt any opposing defensive coordinator would rather face Braxton over KG....When picking your poison, you probably want the one that kills you in your sleep, not the one that shoots you in the face with 80-yard touchdown runs.

U.bal.do

Anyone wanna bet this place is fully leased before it's finished?

Looks like UC couldn't handle playing the B10 in back to back games....And they lost their QB. OUCH!

Stats show Americans not that into driving anymore WASHINGTON - Driving in America has stalled, leading researchers to ask: Is the national love affair with the automobile over? After rising for decades, total vehicle use in the U.S. -- the collective miles people drive -- peaked in August 2007. It then dropped sharply during the Great Recession and has largely plateaued since, even though the economy is recovering and the population growing. Just this week the Federal Highway Administration reported vehicle miles traveled during the first half of 2013 were down slightly, continuing the trend. http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/traffic/traffic_news/stats-show-americans-not-that-into-driving-anymore

5th street arcades adds several new retailers, nears 100 percent occupancy The historic Colonial and Euclid Arcades in downtown Cleveland suffered from 40 percent vacancy last year, yet this year they added a slew of new shops and have gone from half-empty to nearly completely full. Renamed the 5th Street Arcades, the once-moribund properties have been turned around by Dick Pace of Cumberland Development, who has breathed new life into the spaces by luring entrepreneurial tenants with fresh concepts and excitement about downtown. http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/devnews/5thstreetarcades082913.aspx

hmmm interesting. I see em all the time at W.65th redline station. Just saw one early this AM on my way to work.

This area is smokin' hot right now.

Cameras? Really? On the gritty west side? They'll be smashed in an instant, or painted over, or some other form of vandalism. Has anyone considered embracing the surrounding environment by letting the graffiti happen? They can strategically place a camera out of harms way. And to answer your question. NO.

e.rocc do you know which gang was involved here? WESTLAKE, Ohio -- The Westlake school district is offering a reward to find out who is behind the weekend vandalism at the city's new high school. At least nine fire extinquishers were discharged and buckets of water and glue were tipped over throughout the new school's rotunda, media center, academic wings and the auxiliary gym when the vandals broke in on Saturday night. Schools spokeswoman Kim Bonvissuto said the damage is not expected to delay the scheduled opening of school on Sept. 4. "It's more an issue of cleaning up and replacing tile squares," she said. http://www.cleveland.com/westlake/index.ssf/2013/08/westlake_high_school_hit_with.html#incart_river_default

^Really?!? Like the one in Solon?

Weston emerges as potential buyer of three of Cuyahoga County's downtown Cleveland buildings CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Warrensville Heights developer could pay $3.4 million for a trio of Cuyahoga County's downtown Cleveland properties, including a Warehouse District office building that might become apartments. Weston Inc. has emerged as the likely buyer for the Marion Building, the Superior Auto Title building and the Hamilton Garage, three of the 13 properties that the county put up for sale last year.

The Rams are better than the Browns, so when Cleveland players start screwing up, will Bernie have that same passion? Fisher did overreact. Can't stand Fisher but he can coach. The rams will certainly not be better than the Browns THIS YEAR! You really lost me with your Fisher can coach comment...What are you basing that on? His 61 - 67 record since 2002?!?!
