Title: Angels - Indians Series in Milwaukee
Sports Nut - April 10, 2007 02:10 AM (GMT)
Major League Baseball is moving the upcoming Indians - Angels series to Milwaukee. Yes, Milwaukee.
I don't even want to start with the MLB scheduling people. Seriously, why would you schedule a game in Cleveland, Chicago, or Detroit when the weather can go off like this at any moment.
The could have had the Cleveland series played in Seattle, the Detroit series played in Toronto, and even the Yankees game, when they could have played it in Tampa.
Now, moving a series to Milwaukee when the two teams don't even play there? Move the series to Los Angeles, not Milwaukee. No one is going to be there.
Stupid is all I have to say.

Well, right now they could move it to Detroit. I mean it' not going to be snowing and it's supposed to be in the 40's and 50's. Then a lot more people would come because Cleveland to Detroit is a day trip by car. Cleveland to Milwaukee is a day trip by plane.

Get out your maps, guys -- Cleveland is about a 6 hour drive from Milwaukee and with Miller Park's retractable roof, there's no chance of weather being a factor. In fact I'm told that Milwaukee is going to get about 8 inches of snow tomorrow. Yes, in the middle of April. Glad I won't be there. B)
Also, I'm told that the entire Indians/Angels series @ Miller Park is almost sold out! Go figure! All the Angels fans that were flying to Cleveland, simply changed their flights and the Cleveland fans are taking a little trip around the lake thru Chicago to get to Brew City.
One ironic thing. Milwaukee's County Stadium (replaced by Miller Park) was where they filmed the movie "Major League" based on The Cleveland Indians w/ Charlie Sheen as pitcher. :D

I've been to Miller Park. Isn't there a little League field called Helfaer Field right where county stadium once was?

Yeah, cool memory DF! It's an awesome Little League facility. It's called the "Mini-Me of Miller Park. :D
