The Cleveland Indians are the biggest MLB failed team EVER! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

From 1915 to 2021, that was their name...and since they lost five in a row...I lost all hope in this team!

We have the cheapest ownership, we can't win The World Series, and I'm certain we'll be in loser place this year and Terry Francona will be fired...then The Dolans will move them to Puerto Rico!

I got a new name for The Cleveland Indians...The Cleveland Idiots!

Your team is going through hard times. That my lowly Tigers could recently win 2 out of 3 in Cleveland was a surprise to me.

It's amazing to see the pitching talent that has left Cleveland just in the past few years, to go on to other teams.

We tiger's fans were blessed for years with an owner who would "step up" with his checkbook to put a winning team on the field. When he died, his son ushered in a new era of "fiscal responsibility" that truly suxxors to the max.

It began with a mantra to "get younger and leaner", with the followthrough being to dump all the high payroll guys and call it a "rebuild".

I understand the Donlans are narrowing the field down in selecting a new mascot?

Nothing can make me laugh today...I'll talk about it on the Independence Day page!

The Cleveland Idiots season is over to me!

There's still a lot of baseball to be played this season, things can change.

They seem determined to ruin the game with all these changes, anyway. 7 inning games during double headers, baserunners to start extra innings, etc...now I hear they want to implement 4 wildcard teams in each league, starting as early as next season.

The post season is gonna be more like a tournament than an actual championship.

I'll tell you what I think, the owners are trying to shift the game to be more about show business, and less about competition. That way there will be less emphasis on rostering top tier talent, and the cost of doing so.

They'd much rather bait fans in to attend with all the loopy promotions, like "bring a relative dressed like a zoo animal and get free popcorn" than actually paying free agents what they are worth, in orderto build dominant teams.

I guess they figure the fans will be happy so long as their sub .500 team has a shot at a wildcard every few years?

Might as well have Vince McMahon have his own baseball league or have the MLB be called the MLBE.

So the Damn Yankees have to be the heel team, while the Cleveland Baseball Club is the face team.

I wouldn't rule it out. With the rising influence of gambling, I wouldn't put anything past them.

I truly believe that they think that so long as every team gets a wildcard shot every 5 years or so, that will make everybody happy.

I agree the sport of baseball has been ruined with the 7 inning double header games, and even more ridiculous is the automatic runner on 2nd base when games go into extra innings.

I currently follow the A's and that team is also going nowhere but down in the standings. The pitching staff is fairly decent but the offense is about the worst I've ever seen, the team batting average is only about .230 and no one on the team seems to have the consistent ability to hit for a good average and drive in runs. Their offense is a complete joke.

GentlemanJim · 07-05-2021, 05:24 PM

I'll also admit to being so turned-off by player greed and management hostility that, for the first time in my life I HOPE they have an extended strike when the CBA gets negotiated this coming winter,

Wouldn't bother me a bit if they lost all the 2022 season as a result. It would serve them right.

MLB definitely needs a salary cap. Player salaries are spiraling out of control. The Indians never try to resign a player when his original contract is up. They will let him go elsewhere, usually a large market team with plenty of money. I am glad they traded Trevor Bauer.

The Cleveland Idiots are going to lose 20 in a row, The Dolans will sell the team, and they'll be The Las Vegas Baseball Club!

They'll NEVER win another World Series!

SarahBellum · 07-08-2021, 04:18 PM

Yeah, 2016 was their golden opportunity to win it all and they blew it. If it wasn't for bad luck, the Indians would have no luck at all.

GentlemanJim · 07-09-2021, 09:25 AM

Looks as though the Indians upset the expectations, and finally won one last night?

MrCleveland · 09-23-2021, 09:15 PM

The Cleveland Idiots Season is over!

And The Cleveland Guardiots Season of 2022 is already over as well...Guardiots is a combination of "Guardians" and "Idiots"!

Cleveland Baseball Will NEVER Win The World Series as long as I live!

SarahBellum · 09-24-2021, 01:24 PM

They will always be the Indians for as long as I live. Dolan, you are a pathetic wuss. Sorry, not sorry.

I heard someone wants to buy The Cleveland Baseball Club from Scrooge McDolan!
