…the Indians, at one point being 37-53, have won 16 of their last 19 to crawl within 10.5 (DOH!) games of the AL Central lead. Since trading the best pitcher in MLB, they are 28-16, which includes a 3 game loss streak immediately following due to to shock. They have won 10 straight and are playing the kind of baseball we all expected them to all year. Remarkable isn’t it?
Now, here’s the fucked up thing…TECHNICALLY, there is still a chance as they’re not mathematically eliminated, and frankly, I think they actually have SOMEWHAT of a chance, just because the White Sox and Twins are both straw houses waiting to be blown down.
But how did we get here? How did it reach this point? Spencer, haven’t you given up on this team multiple times already this season?
The answer to that last rhetorical question is yes…yes, I have given up on them multiple times already, but I haven’t stopped rooting, and that’s the thing. Unless you’re the Royals, there’s always a chance. Deep down, I always believed that this team was more capable than what they had shown earlier this year, and because of MY unwavering, albeit private, dedication, and MY dedication alone, the Indians are making a furious comeback of which we have never seen before (ignore the Rockies please…)
So, are there going to be changes abound in my attitude? You better fucking believe it, lawya. I’m fucking pulling it all out now, the bravado, the arrogance, the disdain for anything Twin City and Queer Sox related. And how is it going to end? WITH A FUCKING ONE-GAME PLAYOFF AGAINST THE NEW YORK YANKEES PLAYED IN A STADIUM IN MILWAUKEE ACCOMPANIED BY RACHEL PHELPS’ UTTER DISMAY WORLD SERIES VICTORY!!!
It feels good to be back.
DISCLAIMER: I’m not backing any of this…it just feels good to not suck again.
The Indians still suck. Don’t kid yourself.
/Dbacks fan [sigh]
“We’re a Major League Baseball team!”
Hef…just so you know, if the Tribe were in the NL West, they’d only be 2 games out of first.
good thing they’re not, huh? HUH? WELL FUCK YOU THEN.
If the “Tribe” was the name of an Arizona team, the ACLU would have changed it years and years ago. Racist.
if the Tribe was the name of an Arizona team, they’d still try to get MLK day stricken from the calendar. hypocrite.
I was 8 when they voted against the holiday and 12 when they reinstated it so I had very little say in the decision. Also, as a jew, I’m incapable of being a racist. So suck on that.
i sucked on it…tasted like gefilte fish.
/you could’ve protested…you’re never too young to protest.
You want me to publicly call everyone in Arizona backward thinking rednecks who drive their SUVs too much while voting down education reform time after time? I will. God help me I will.
If the tribe was in the NL West, they’d probably have about 20 more wins…it is the NL West as you know.
The teams in the NL West are all blumpkins.
And somehow they still managed to be in 4 of last 9 World Series…and they’re record, of course, is under .500.
