You might be the Cleveland Indians…

How you lose two out of three to the Nationals..I’ll never know..

Let’s change that to “You Might be the Cleveland Indians..”

If you make Scott Olsen look like Sandy Koufax, but make Justin Verlander look like..well..Scott Olsen..you might be the Cleveland Indians.

If you sweep the Tigers and the Twins, but can’t compete with the Royals and Nationals..youuuu might be the Cleveland Indians.

If your team has more platoons than the U.S. Army..youuu might be the Cleveland Indians.

If your backup catcher hits like Mantle but your DH hits like Mantle’s mother..youuu might be the Cleveland Indians.

If your team has to be in first place for two months just to get to 5-digit attendance..you might be the Cleveland Indians.

If you play your home games in both Ohio and Wisconsin..you might be the Cleveland Indians.

If the umpire awards your opponent a run three innings after it was scored..you might be the Cleveland Indians.

If you release a horrible player and he becomes a star on another team..you might just be the Cleveland Indians.

I’m joking..for the most part.  I love the team, but right now, it’s getting a little frustrating.  The worst part is that they aren’t playing like the Royals.. their pitching is doing pretty well and they have great offensive numbers..but those two never seem to coincide.  I’m convinced that if an Indians pitcher throws a complete game and allows just one run, he is more likely going to get a loss, but if that same pitcher gives up seven runs in the first, he is probably in line for a win or no decision.  That’s just the way this team works.  The opposite of every team that has ever existed.  Can’t beat the bad teams, but great against the good ones.  Oh well..just gotta hope everything falls into place.
