Official Cleveland Indians Thread

......They still haven't won.

Everything about this team is sad. As I heard on the radio, this team has no leader. No leader in the clubhouse or front office. No one is there to account for anything.

It's sad that fans care more, and they're the ones who aren't being paid.

I, too, cannot understand what has happened to my beloved Tribe. 11 straight losses after a huge win against Verlander and Detroit. It's like a bad dream. I remember the exciting days in the 90's with Lofton, Visquel, Alomar, Thome, Belle, and Ramirez. Belle left for Chicago, for more $$$, then Ramirez left for the $$$, and Thome also took off for $$$. Choo is represented by Scott Boras, and when his contract is up, Boras will get him the $$$ as well. I think the Dolans are too cheap, to pay their good players. They say if the fans show up, then they'll go out and spend. If Progressive Field wasn't the home of the Lake County Captains, and we had some blue collar players who have talent and not some "minor leaguers", then the fans will show up. You get $$$ by putting people in the seats. Cleveland fans are so passionate about their teams. Dick Jacobs was a great owner, God rest his soul. 455 straight sellouts say something. We have talent with Cabrera, Kipnis, Santana, and Bradley.

If you build it, they will come. Right now the Indians are a team who live in an efficiency apartment. Add a power bat and a power arm to those players mentioned earlier, and maybe the Lake County Captains can be evicted and the Cleveland Indians can return home. I want real Cleveland Indians baseball at Progressive Field, not a A, AA, or AAA team. We work hard for our $$$ in these tough economic times, let me pay to see MLB again.
