Fans ask 'Where are league's prettiest girls'
(Editor's Note: This is the first installment of a weekly feature where fans can send their questions to Indians manager Bobby Don Southworth. Answers to selected questions will appear in a weekly column from Southworth.)

Q: Coach, great start! Are we going to be able to keep it up? And who besides the Twins worries you the most in the Central Division.

A: I don't want to sound like Hulk Hogan or something, but if we keep doing the things we've done so far, we should be all right. We're hitting well, tops in the league, and our pitching has been good enough.
As for the Central Division, I'm worried all the time! The Twins are good; The White Sox are much better than you saw last week and the Tigers have improved a lot. Right now, the team I'm most concerned about (outside of our own) is Kansas City because that's who we go play next week.

Q: What's Cliff Lee's status? He looked fine to me when he threw seven innings to beat the White Sox last week.

A: Without going into too much detail, he's got some mechanical things he wanted to work on and [pitching] Coach [Terry J.] Wood didn't want him to be experimenting on the mound during major-league games. Cliff will be back. You can't keep us Arkansas boys down long.

Q: Where are the fans? Got a local boy managing the team and some greats like Eddie Murray and Buddy Bell on the coaching staff and some pretty good young players and The Jake doesn't have a sellout.

A: It's our job to bring the fans back to Jacobs Field and it won't happen overnight. Our front office put up 455 consecutive sellouts and they know how to keep you coming back once we get you there. Getting that first one is going to be the key and you can help!

Q: Coach, where are the best looking women from your baseball travels?

A: Man, first question and I'm risking big trouble at home! I've not been all over the major leagues and I'd be stupid if I didn't say the best looking women were in Little Rock, Ark., where I met my wife.
But from the stories I've heard on the road and from a good friend who played for the Cardinals (whose name I won't mention!) I'd have to say San Diego. No doubt about it. You're talking about real Southern California girls, a big city and a naval base. From what I've heard, no major-league city can compete with San Diego.
(I hear Cleveland rates way up there, too, ladies!)
