Talk:2007 Cleveland Indians season

message: I wanted to put something in the description about the CLE/LAA series in Miller Park showing how significant the lake-effect snow event was since Jacobs Field has had snow in the past, both at the beginning of the season and near the end (e.g. the '97 World Series Game 4), but has never caused anything that extreme as the series relocation, especially since Cleveland doesn't get much lake-effect relative to the snow belt to the east, making it unusual as well as extreme.  I was going to link to Winter storms of 2006–07, but Ohio isn't listed under "April 2-7".  I then went to the NWS office page, since they usually have separate pages for major events like that, but all they had was the graphic, so that's what I used (see History page, April 10, 2007).  Perhaps I should edit the Winter storms of 2006–07 and link to that?  I do think that there should be some reference within the Miller Park material showing just how significant the conditions were to lead up to the relocation. Mapsax 19:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't believe that an in-depth description of the snow storm is necessary in the article.  Just the fact that there was a "heavy snow" should be enough to give a vivid image in the reader's mind.  After all, if snow is the reason why a 4-game series was postponed and the following 3-game series was moved to another city, one could imagine how powerful the snow storm was.  That's all that is needed in the article to give a quality description.  --Ksy92003 14:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't just the power, it was the unpredictability of the snow that is lake-effect.  Had it been a synoptic system, predictability probably would have been easier, the results probably would have been less chaotic, and the MLB-wide discussion on scheduling changes might have been kept on the back burner.

replies: text: I should amend the above slightly - there have been so far this season other games affected by the cold, though not specifically snow (one game each DET/TOR and CHW/MIN), which also probably have contributed to schedule-making discussion, but the CLE/SEA series was the most extreme and got the most attention.

thread_title:  Northeast Ohio snow map for Miller Park relocated series 

message: Is the sentence noting that the rescheduled game was the first AL one since the Brewers were AL necessary? This seems like it would be more appropraite at the Miller Park page. I don't think it adds anything here. I'm going to delete it, but anyone who wants it back can explain why here. Tytrain 22:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, after I saw that you had removed it, I thought to myself Why did I put that in the first place?  That has nothing to do with the Indians, so let's keep that out.  --Ksy92003 23:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Whomever keeps saying that Cliff Lee and Jeremy Sowers are on the active playoff roster is simply mistaken.  Yes, Lee and Sowers were called up in September, but when the playoff roster was trimmed back to 25 members, Lee and Sowers were dropped.http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=cle  Lee is traveling with the team in case of injury.LightningMan 19:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone object to the re-creation of that table we used to keep track of the games against New York? It wouldn't make too much more text on the page, and would probably be useful to readers looking for a quick game summary without digging through the per-game reports. It appears to have been swept away by some vandalism. Shadow1 (talk) 21:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wasn't the one who made it go away, but if I had to guess the thinking, a detailed chart such as that was better served in the 2007 ALDS entry which was added to this one around the same time, IIRC.  It was gone when I did my reorganization yesterday.LightningMan 13:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It makes more sense to keep it in the main ALDS article, now that I think about it. Shadow1 (talk) 20:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
