World Series!!!!!

[coachjwb]

Wow ... the Indians are going to the World Series for only the 3rd time in my (long) lifetime! What a true team they are ... a different star every night, and everyone doing the role they need to do on a particular night. I am so, so proud of them.

What a great year I picked to get my first set of season tickets and which allowed me to buy playoff tickets. I could sell them for a huge profit, but they are priceless to me, and I wouldn't miss these games for the world. Look for me right next to the Indians bullpen right on the aisle!

Priceless? Everyone's got a price. Right now some tix are going for 3-4x face value. Win game 1, they go up even further. And how about that All Star game! Thanks American League!

 

[coachjwb]

Nope ... no price!

And the best part - for us little people who don't have ticket connections - is that we don't have to listen to Ron Darling on TBS/TNT anymore. That guy has to be the worst color man in the business.

The second best thing is: No more Toronto Blue Jays!

Donaldson forgets that he's supposed to be having fun.
Bautista is deeply offended by every call that goes against him.
It's like the team can't believe that somebody could actually beat them.
As Tom Hamilton said on the radio. "The Blue Jays lead the league in complaining and moaning about the strike zone".

 

[Pacerdad57]

had enough of ron darling after about the first inning of game one. didn't think much more of ripken's commentary either......
definitely not the best commentary for the playoffs.....

 

[lewam3]

I have come to realize that the more disrespect and less accolades announcers and The networks put in the Indians, the better. Cleveland has the proverbial chip on its shoulder and that's a good thing.

 

[coachjwb]

Yes, now that the Cubs are in, most of the attention is focused on them, and they are like 2:1 betting favorites. While they didn't have the best record in baseball for no reason, I think the Indians are just fine being the underdogs again, and keeping the "us against the world" mentality ...

Game 1 and the atmosphere in downtown Cleveland were amazing last night. Praying the rain holds off tonight, and the Tribe can go up 2-0!

Hope Bauer is healed and throwing well

New sub-topic rant re: World Series.

Why do we get such lame acts to sing the National Anthem? Tonight: Hunter Hayes. Last Wednesday was some semi-unknown country duo. Is this the best we can do? This isn't Nashville. The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is about 6 blocks away from Progressive Field. What gives?

Why not have the Micheal Stanley Band???
