Eric Wedge PostcardsFromTheWedge: Apparently we can no longer get fans to attend Indians games by playing baseball, because we are the Indians.
Eric Wedge PostcardsFromTheWedge: So we need to finalize a 2007 Promotional Schedule. What can we hand out to people as they walk through the gates?
Pronk Pronky_Kong: Bobbleheads, and lots of them!
Eric Wedge PostcardsFromTheWedge: Right, that's what I was thinking, but we gave away all the good bobbleheads of our team's stars last year.
Pronk Pronky_Kong: Then we should start giving out progressively stupider bobbleheads. Like Partial Nudity Rachel Phelps, or Herb Score's Right Eyeball.

NeedsABathia: or a bobbled head of me disco dancing with an afro

for some reason

Pronk Pronky_Kong: Weren't you born in 1980?
Grady Sizemore biscuits_and_grady: how about a weekend celebrating the chubbier members of Grady's Ladies with "Sizemore's Size Whores"
Grady Sizemore

biscuits_and_grady: or a weekend full of memorabilia celebrating the fact that I am amazing

we can give these out every game until j. michael straczynski shows up, gets one, and makes it date rape all of his barbies in an attempt to mature the product

Pronk Pronky_Kong: What if we hand out video tapes of Bob Feller watching Little Rascals and getting really pissed off?
Brian Slocum SlocumGlider: we could hand out raffle tickets offering winners a chance to meet me, and call the event "slocum if you got 'em"
CC Sabathia

NeedsABathia: We can have the Tom Mastny Masterlock Challenge!

Jhonny Peralta JhonnyCakes: how about jhonny peralta arrow heads, since indians used those!!
Pronk

Pronky_Kong: or Jhonny Peralta Dreamcatchers, which are unable to catch dreams

Eric Wedge

PostcardsFromTheWedge: Okay, so I wrote "bobbleheads" on this notepad 45 times, Mr. Dolan will be stoked.

So, can anyone remember our three goals for the season?

Pronk Pronky_Kong: goal 1 - tell everybody we're going to be really good this year, whether we are or not, because for some reason the Indians are always "supposed to be good"
Eric Wedge PostcardsFromTheWedge: check
Pronk Pronky_Kong: goal 2 - change the name of Jacob's Field to "Hot Pockets Brand Lean Pockets Stadium" so we can raise enough money to bring back Manny Ramirez
Eric Wedge PostcardsFromTheWedge: check
Pronk Pronky_Kong: goal 3 - do our best in every game and try to make the playoffs, and maybe the World Series.
Eric Wedge PostcardsFromTheWedge: ahem
Ryan Garko GonnyGarko: goal 3 - make sure the fireworks after friday home games are synched up to today's hottest 80s music
Eric Wedge

PostcardsFromTheWedge: check-a-mundo

It's times like these I learn to live again. It's going to be a great season!

All that philosophy can teach,
The lore of jurist and of leech,
I've mastered, ah! and sweated through
Theology's dead deserts, too,
Yete here, poor fool! for all my lore,
I stand no wiser than before.
