How far our Indians have fallen, not only into the basement of the worst division in baseball - but far from the hearts and thoughts of whatever fans are left out there. No, even I haven’t watched one of their games in weeks - I can’t expect anyone to watch a team that has completely collapsed. Their fan base is completely disgusted.
How do I know this is true? Because today, in The Morning Journal, the story on last night’s Indian’s game - yet another loss in this pitiful September - was at the bottom of the front page of the sport section. What was above it you ask??
A story about the freakin LAKE ERIE CRUSHERS playoff run. That’s right - The Morning Journal decided that their readers would rather see a story about a sub-minor league playoff game than their own major league baseball team!!
This is a sad, sad state of affairs. Stuff like this should spur the Dolans into making some dramatic moves - and soon. Wedge should be fired first, followed by all his cronies. They need a fresh look at talent and team direction.
If that doesn’t happen, look for the “Crushers” to keep getting top billing and the Tribe to fall further into oblivion - it’s a sad, sad state of affairs.
Did I say that already?
