Your Guide To Cheering For the 2008 Cleveland Indians

PrintWell, shucks. It's important for us to remember that we do, after all, cheer for the Cleveland Indians. So, let's get back to doing the things we're supposed to do as fans of the Cleveland Indians
1-Refrain from pointing out the obvious.
If you have an urge to start a sentence with "If we continue to play like this" or "If things don't change then", or with "Franklin Gutierrez is" or "Travis Hafner is not", stop and instead write something like, "Hey! We all cheer for the 2008 Cleveland Indians!" We'll know what you mean.
2-"We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." -Benjamin Franklin
To follow a quote with another quote, "NO FIGHTING!" -Wyclef Jean. We're all going to be down and upset at some point this season. It's important that we take that energy and channel it into something constructive. I got upset around April 15 and have been depressed ever since. However, I didn't take that energy and use it to tell Jay how I really felt about him. I cross-stitched a controller for the original Nintendo Entertainment System!
If you hit Left, Right, Up, B, Up, A, Select, A, Left, Enter, Guillermo Mota will be available to pitch out of the bullpen.
You've got to find your own outlet. Brick writes new lyrics for showtunes.
Drubal, Drubal let me be
Keep your average far from me
Please keep your glove, it's the only thing we love"
Scott Sauerbeck gardens.
3-Google phrases related to the 2008 Indians and share the results with each other.
Here are some examples:
"Vortex of Suck"
"No Hits Ever"
"Cliff is God"
"2009 Is Coming"
"Jump Ship, CC"
4-Accentuate the ridiculous.
Did you guys know we're batting .231? .231! That's the same as Pablo Ozuna!
Hello to you too, Mr. Ozuna! Thanks for everything you're doing for Cleveland.
Keep fighting the good fight, Pablo. There are a thousand of these fun facts (or, "Ozuna Actualities") about the 2008 Cleveland Indians. It's our job to dig them up and share them. C'mon, people! Put on your hard hats and let's get into that coal mine and start digging until we either die in a gas explosion or live to be 65 and die of pneumoconiosis. 2008 Cleveland Indians: Let The Black Damp Fill You!
5-Remember. This is Cleveland Indians baseball!
Look, we're allowed to be optimistic in March; no one can take that from us. Still, we knew what we were getting into. This is the Cleveland Indians. Don't look so surprised.

That’s a picture of the ump telling Wedge that Casey can’t be in the lineup.

I dig the google part. Here’s mine:
Google search result for “proon”: Urban Dictionary! Whoops, can’t link to it on this family site, as the first definition is out of bounds. But the second! Why, it’s the Proon we know so well:
“A Proon is someone who annoys everyone around them or does something totally stupid.
“A person can also be said to ‘proon it’ meaning they have done something stupid or strange.”
And on the google image search for “proon”...
Would you hit that? Hafner would swing twice, miss, then get caught looking at the third.

Best post in the history of LGT. Not even kidding.

Ironically a search of “looch dfa” gives us this gem: 
Yup, he too will probably see more playing time with Looch gone.

And of course, could anything be more appropriate than the following image that appears when you ask google for the glory of “weglarz?”
holy crap, weglarz can even beat the crap out of gas prices

Ah, no www. Let’s try that again.

I’m amused by the fact that “Datz Disciples” is mentioned on his wikipedia page (I didn’t do it, I swear!) as well as the Google image search for it:

I feeling some Neverending Story II references coming on, and I don’t even remember that movie.

Aside: Does anyone remember where the Choo “True Grit” image ended up? We may need it soon.
