Re: New Game Thread
I'm 27.  I can REMEMBER following the Indians for about 19 of those years, though I was at my first game before my first birthday.  

1993 was the year I truly fell for the team, though, despite the fact they sucked.  My dad took us to a lot of games that last year at old Muni.  I think he knew that the time was going to come that none of his sons would be in Cleveland, and he wanted us to have a connection to the city.

I'm still wearing the one and only Tribe hat I've owned for more than a decade now -- my aunt bought it for me when she was visiting from Spokane on June 17, 1994.  When we left Tower City that day, we went back to their hotel room and watched the OJ Simpson white Bronco chase.

With 10 responses in, the average is up to 26.6 years.  Don't be shy - how long have you been a Tribe fan?

As I reflect, it's great that youngsters across Ohio (and the nation) are getting their first dose of baseball and seeing what a club the Tribe is.  This will only help build our devoted fan base, the way their horrible clubs of the late '80's somehow drew me in.

Skinner holds the tying run at 3rd, and the best reliever in baseball gives up a 2-run homer to Dustin, Fucking, Pedroia, who had all of 8 - EIGHT - the entire season, and 10 in his entire fucking career.

Wow. A game of inches.  Skinner doesn't make the fuck up for the ages, we tie the game.  Blake doesn't hit into a double play that nearly breaks us.  Has his head in the game in the bottom of the inning.  Doesn't miss a fairly routine groundball.  Raffy doesn't have to pitch to Pedroia with a man on.

It's going to take the greatest Tribe comeback of all time.  I'm sorry.  Down 12 to Seattle was magnificent.  But right now, I'm terrified our team, that hasn't given in all year, might have just thrown it in.

Re: New Game Thread
Billy Beane has a line in Moneyball where he's quoted as saying something like, 'You can only put together a great team for the regular season, because in the playoffs, it's all fucking luck.'  I always thought he was just making excuses for his teams getting perennially bounced in the first round.  

Until now.

Re: New Game Thread
I like Billy Beane fine but he's wrong....and his record in the postseason shows it.  There is an element of luck to it. But the team with the best record in the regular season gets to the World Series more often than the others. In fact, it's pretty much proportional to a regular seaosn record.

That's not to say luck isn't a big part of it. It is. But the best teams make the plays that need to be made and the best teams minimize mistakes.

The best teams win ballgames other teams lose.

That's why our record during the regular season is NOT insignificant at this point.

We don't need luck anymore. that's for losers. Right now we need to execute and eveyrone needs to do the job they have proven they can do.

If they do .. we win. If they don't. We lose. simple as that.

Re: New Game Thread
The team with the best record hasn't won the World Series since 1998, I think (it was one of the Yankee teams I know).  Luck, or the bounce of the ball, or whatever you want to call it, does play a huge part in a series.

Wow, calm down buddy.  If payroll is not increased next year I will be very disappointed.  It not a fluke that the best players get paid the most money.  J.D Drew pretty much was awful all year but what makes him worth the money is what he did the other night.  Great players have abilities that players of less caliber do not have.  If you want the best players you have to pay for them.  Keeping payroll down just to prove you can do it is not only handcuffing yourself but is franchise suicide.

With respect and taking all of our raw feelings into consideration, I do not think this season is ending all that badly.

This was a pretty damned close game.  A matter of a few feet here and there made huge differences.  Just think of that ball that jumped over Jhonny, or both of Garko's long fly balls, or Blake's GIDP.

We only have one inning left, it doesn't look good at all, but I am damned proud of the team and I am damned proud to be an Indians fan.

Re: New Game Thread
I will be watching the World Series to root against the Red Sox...I have grown to really dislike them not because they ended our season but because there are quite a few classless jerks on the team that I can't wait seeing lose to a fun Rockies team...and I am really looking forward to the next few years of Tribe baseball...this is just the start of lots of October baseball for this franchise so don't be discouraged.....

Re: New Game Thread
You are not seeing with clear eyes.  The Red Sox are a very classy team for the most part and very gritty.  Give them credit, lesser teams would have packed it in (al Yankees).  It should be a good World Series.  I am proud of the Indians for the most part and next year we will grow from this season.  If Gutz can get better and Barfield turns into the player we think he can be our offense will be much better.  As for C.C and Carmona it is back to work and hopefully they have learned a great deal from this experience.  

I am sure we will back next year facing these Sox in the ALCS again only next time to win and also win the World Series.  Wedge and Shapiro hopefully will not rest with the team we have and make some bold moves this off season to make this team that much better.  Spending some more on a quality free agent or trading for another starting pitcher or Slugger would really help this team.

I hate what's happened in this series, but this game could've gone either way. I guess I can't ask much more than that. What's the old saying, "god answers all prayers. sometimes the answer is 'no.'"

Got some work to do in the off-season and I'm very concerned about Hafner. He might be doing a Bob Hamelin.

And what do we do about C.C.? Now. Do we trade him before he walks?

Re: New Game Thread
They might have overachieved but if C.C and Carmona show up we are not talking about losing this series right now.  Both were used 50 IP beyond what they had in the past and I am sure fatigue is what killed them.  I think next year Wedge will use them more carefully and save their arms.  

Hopefully we can add to your offense so we don't have so many close games and we can get some of those guys out of there earlier.  Both should also evaluate their training programs and diets not that Carmona is over weight in fact could stand to add some lean muscle.  C.C could stand to lose a few not only for his baseball future but for his future health.  I am sure both will come back much stronger and better off because of this experience.

Sabathia and Carmona had ERAs of 2.37 and 1.78 in September, respectively.  They got better as the season went on, not worse - especially CC.  Endurance had nothing to do with it.

CC & Fausto
There is merit to what you say about IPs, but then again, there was more to this than IPs.  CC, in particular, didn't look tired so much as perplexed.  As Casey or Yogi or maybe somebody else said, 90% of this game is half mental.

Yea mentally both seemed out of it that is for sure. I am just saying the extra training can also help with the mental part because you learn how to overcome when you are pushing yourselves further then you have in the past.

I grew up in Boston and I still consider New England home. I love the Patriots. I love the Celtics. I love the Bruins.

But I cannot say anymore that "the Red Sox are my second-favorite team."

They were a feel-good, underdog team for many, many years and I could get away with it.

But now, they're the NY Yankees. They're the evil empire, buying whatever they need, and destroying  baseball in other cities.

I will never utter a kind word about them again.

And I hope the Rockies kick their ass, even though I know they won't.

Congratulations to Red Sox fans everywhere. But as of now, since your franchise isn't any different than the Yankees, neither are the Red Sox fans any different than Yankees fans.
