If the fucking Indians actually somehow win the World Series this year, I just might mail a bomb to their front office.

 

Fucking fucks.

 

My old man watched every single fucking game.  Every year.  Watched them lose for DECADES.  Win or lose, he either watched or listened to every stinking fucking game since the 1950s.  And those fucking eunuchs couldn't win a World Series when it was handed to them.

 

Now, not even a year after he dies, their suddenly the hottest team in baseball?

 

Makes me fucking sick.  I curse them.  I want them to lose for a hundred more years.  If my dad didn't get to see them win, nobody else deserves to.   Fuck,

I don't think you have anything to worry about bro.

I hope your father is watching up in heaven saying regarding the Cleveland Indians

It's cool.  I just know those fuckers are gonna win this year and it just makes me sick.

The Indians aren't winning shit. The Guardians might, but they don't deserve the history if they abandon it.

Baseball has gotten so dumb now. So apparently if you try to pick off a runner more than twice, it's an automatic steal. Okay.

Fucking what now?

 

I partially agree with changing baseball. The pitch count HAD to happen. Baseball has the most little bitch prima donnas of any sport, sans maybe soccer. All these pitchers with the rock the baby windups, or a shimmy mid windup, batters stepping out 4 times per at bat to make sure the hole they dug 4 seconds ago is still there. They had to do something to speed it up. That means speeding up the regular games, not ruining the marathons with free base runners in extra innings, or apparently just awarding bases if you try to pick a clearly ambitious runner.

 

There's a reason I gave up on baseball, and it's only about 60% because the Mariners are like an alcoholic uncle who can't get his shit together. Stupid rule changes, stuck up players, and WHY IS THE SEASON SO LOOOOOOOOOONG. 162 games? Come on man, that's a school year's worth.

A classic Cleveland choke job in the 9th inning let the Tigers tie the series.

 

That's the kind of thing that would usually have me tearing my hair out, but now all I want on this earth is for the team to fail miserably.

 

I curse them.  I curse their children's children's children.

 

May the human race go extinct before the Cleveland baseball team ever wins another World Series.

I've never rooted against Cleveland.  Never. 

 

It feels good.  It feels so good to be on the opposite side of the playoff collapse for a change.

 

I shouldn't get too excited just yet.  Detroit still needs one more win to put them away.

One more? Is it best of 5? Thought it was 7.

It used to be best of 7...now it's best of 5.  Nothing the MLB does makes any sense these days.

Jesus Christ, the regular season is 162 goddamned games long and they chose to eliminate PLAYOFF games?!

 

Baseball is so dead to me.

They added the wildcard round best of 3 and shortened the divisional round.  Same amount of games but it gives more teams an opportunity to get into the playoffs.  Mets got in this year as a wildcard and just beat down the Phillies who won the division.  I'm a Mets fan so I'm obviously a fan of the new system.

It doesn't work that way.

 

Next they're gonna beat the Yankees.  It's so fucking unjust.

Ugh, so in order for Cleveland to lose I'd have to root for the Yankees? Sorry bud, that's a sacred line that's been in place for decades. Go Cleveland.

I have no factual reason to believe they'll win.  Just a crushing pessimism that the one thing my dad desperately wanted to see in his life and never did, is actually gonna happen a year after he's gone.

 

Their last championship was in 1948.  They went 30 years without ever making the playoffs.  My dad was insanely devoted, win or lose, all those decades.

 

And now they might finally do it for real this time, unlike all the other times hey choked.   But so fucking what?  It means nothing without him here to see it.

 

I'm just disgusted.  I'll never forgive them for blowing it in 2016.  My dad was so crushed by that.
