Hello, everybody, Harry Doyle here, welcoming all you Friends of the Feather to another postseason of Indians baseball. I know a lot of you are disappointed about the way your own season turned out, so I’d like to invite you to join the great fans of Cleveland in supporting the Indians the rest of the way. Yes, sir. They love this club here in Cleveland!
A lotta people say you can tell how a postseason’s gonna go by the first hitter of the game. I bet you guys felt that way on Saturday, huh? I’ll tell you, that kid Rich Hill led the team in strikeouts, runs allowed, and diapers blown through.
Anyhow, John McDonough thought it would be a good idea to throw your support behind another team, so you have something to root for. That said, this post is brought to you by- Christ, I can’t find it. The hell with it.
So, I see here you guys haven’t won a World Series in over 99 years. Not one goddamn World Series?
EDITOR’S NOTE: Harry, you can’t say “goddamn” in these posts.
That’s all right. No one’s reading, anyhow.
So, join in, Sons of the Second City. Holders of the Broad Shoulders. Get on the Indian bandwagon before it’s too late.
Come on. Join in wherever you are out there. Let’s hear you, Chicago. Let’s go Tribe!
ya know, even if it means the Diamondbacks or the Rockies are the champs, I’d rather see the NL win the series. Just so I can begin to stop hearing how “dominant” the AL is.
But if it “has” to be an American League team, I suppose the Indians are my favorite.
Go Tribe. I’ve supported them all September.
What about us? We’ve only won one since 1918– that’s quite a drought. Still a couple seats on the bandwagon if anyone wants to squeeze on. You might as well root for us, we’re going to win–
Fuck Boston.
Go Tribe.
Maatttt Daaammmoonn
I’m pulling for a Tribe/Rox series, personally. A classic match up of the haven’t-in-a-long-times vs the never-haves. But in the best interests of baseball I have to root for Boston to make it so TV ratings won’t be in the crapper. Gotta have those media market teams in there
I’d agree with you Harry, if I wasn’t so damn determined not to watch another second of baseball until March. Sure, some bar is guaranteed to have it on at some point over the next couple weeks. But fuck the whole sport with George Brett’s pine tar and rabies covered bat in the pee hole.
Until Winter Meetings anyway.
Bats afraid of curveball…hit straight ball verrrrry far
I think it’d be great to see a Indians v Rockies world series. It would have to be the lowest rated series ever.
i hope that Cleveland kicks the shit out of Boston, just so I can point out to any masshole i meet that they got beat by Cleveland and Joe Borowski. Furthermore, go Dallas on Sunday.
I’ll only root for Cleveland if they change their name to the Cleveland Steamers.
Interesting stat on ESPN– it is still possible to get NLCS tickets in Arizona. In fact, you could still get 25 seats together in THE SAME ROW. I know they have a big stadium, but this really confirms that D-Backs fans don’t actually exist. Have you ever met a D-Backs fan beyond a 3 mile radius of wherever the hell it is that they play? Exactly.
Sometimes it’s nice to have teams like the D-Backs. If your team is playing them in the playoffs you can tix no prob:) The Braves and Marlins were quite easy to get playoff tix.
I wouldn’t mind watching a Cleveland Rockies series. I won’t watch the NLCS, but I’d rather the Rockies won for obvious reasons. They really opened a can here lately and I’d like to see them sustain it. Plus, how can you not love the name Yorvit Torrealba? LIke Kosuke Fukudome, it just rolls off the tongue. I really hope we sign Fukudome. I can picture Harry Caray working that one over in the booth.
Is Fukudome the brother of Wilma Fingerstink? They come as a package
