Oh I am a classless fan for poking fun at Tiger's fans irrational and unjustified high expectations? Fine by me. Trust me I am probably the most rational baseball fan you'll meet. I love me some tribe KoolAid but I realize the Tigers are going to win the division by probably 5-15 games. At the end of the day though, the Tigers are still a flawed ball club, and Prince is only a marginal upgrade over Victor. To think that they honestly could play at a .875 clip is irate.

Just having some fun thats all. Just like I'll have a blast asking Delmon about his Jewish friend next week at the Jake.

You're one of the best Indians fans EVER!

You totally remind me of the douche White Sox fan at the game I attended who felt justified yelling at the players from the bleachers the whole game. He was trying to impress his friends, who laughed and were embarrassed by him the whole time.

But I'm sure you're awesome, brah.

typical fair weather fans

only sell out the place when the team is actually good

And if they were doing that for the last 10 years, maybe they wouldn't have to be selling off/losing/trading their best players every 3 years.

That was in the Baerga days. It went that way right until Jim Thome left.

Been basically garbage ever since, even in 07 when they got to within a game of the World Series prior to pulling the time-honored Tribe gag job.

it wasn't sarcasm

Our owner is one of the most frugal in the business. The Indians actually made the largest profit last year of any baseball team at 30 Million, but what did we do with it? Sign fricken Casey Kotchman. What a splash. At the end of the day, like it or not, the Indians are a progressive and extremely well run organization that is hampered by a frugal owner. They have rebuilt a few times during this last decade and had a team in 07 that was probably the best in baseball and now again a half way decent club on a minuscule budget.

Well obviously you have a short memory in regards to your own teams lean days

CLEVELAND — Chris Perez had just struck out the side to preserve a 2-0 victory and earn his 13th save. He should have been happy, but he wasn’t.

The fiery Perez used his postgame meeting with the media to blister Indians fans for the team’s last-place standing in attendance and for booing him, even going as far as saying the lack of support has contributed to the team’s inability to sign free agents.

One could argue that Tiger fans are the losers for packing the stadium to watch a sub-.500 team.

That made absolutely no sense

Prolly not.

I was responding to the special season part. Even if we win the ALC, it won't be special.
