Home Run Johan?


Down to Earth

Recommended Posts

Kinda has a nice ring to it doesn't it? Seriously, I think Johan has taken over Brad Radke's role of giving up the long ball. I know he's still a very good pitcher our offense has sucked this year, but if Johan would learn to keep the ball inside the park, he'd probably be approaching 20 wins and another Cy Young award right now.

Wow,

Throwing the Great One under the bus! I know things have sunk to an all time low in Twinkie-land now. I guess misery loves company, now I don't feel too bad here in the Windy City as I watch my beloved Pale Hose continue their "suck fest" of 07!

Johan said the other day that he would rather give up solo homers then having players on base. He has not been his normal self this whole year.

We can take him off your hands guys. I'm sure Kenny Williams would send you Juan Uribe, Ryan Buckvich and Joe Crede and a $100 Gift Card to Star Bucks. Sound like a plan?

Don't even think about sending him to the windy city. Send him to the Motor City. Our starters are really struggling.

Did you read his post guys.

All he did was state the obvious.

If he wasn't leading the Major Leauges in Home Runs allowed he would have another Cy Young on the mantel.

Pretty simple really.

Unfortunately you guys wasted to much on Buelre and won't be able to afford 22 million plus for 4 or 5 years on Santana.

Hunter maybe...

Just check your 2008 Early Edition schedule that will come out during Fan Appreciation Weekend for when the Yankees come to town. Probably your only opportunity to see Spidey roaming HumphreyDump's center field. Repeat for 2009 to possibly catch the reincarnation of CyTana.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
