Seriously though, the ’95 Tribe was not just good, they were fun to watch. Just think of how many bubble gum bubbles ended up on hats, the Tony Pena playoff home run trot (arms raised with a huge smile on his face), “The Flex”. You could tell they really enjoyed playing the game that year. I see a similar emotional spark in this year’s team.

The fact that as much as 1% of conversation about the Indians (and all of Cleveland sports) stems around a curse – a curse that isn’t there – scares me. Take a look at Boston, and their ludicrously famous “Curse of the Bambino.” They didn’t do anything to break any curse. Management and the owner adopted a system, stuck with it, and it ended up paying off. The curse didn’t end. They just stopped sucking.

Losers make excuses. Step one to get Cleveland back on the map, sports wise and as a city, is to stop making excuses.

I’m just kidding, But I will say, as a 29 year old Cleveland sports fan with a meager 401(K) existing of just over $6,000, The day the Browns, Tribe, Or Cavs make it back to glory, I will drain it in a heartbeat, just to be there.

Interesting. I too was crushed by the end of 2007. But I was happy to get so excited about baseball again… I thought maybe that was gone with my youth.
No one talking about the red ball caps? Is that last year’s news? Last year’s team was so fun to watch that I happily bought one.
I would be happy to discuss the recent game, except they were blacked out on tv and mlb.tv… sto had lacrosse on. Lacrosse? Go Tribe!

After getting over the 2007 ALCS, which led me to not talking to my father for at least 2 months, that moment is a popular Tribe conversation topic for the padre and I. Especially when you look at the way the BoSox took care of the Rockies. ’97 I cried. I was wee little lad who had no concept of the Tribe being able to lose… It just didn’t make sense back then that all of those horror stories my Dad would tell me about how bad the Tribe were in his youth could come to actual fruition in my lifetime.
