A.L. Central Smack 2015

Molitor is such a god awful in game manager.

Can't believe you guys let that one get away.

Just unreal. So many players choked in big spots.

But Molitor losing the DH because he decided to run Nunez for Sano instead of Robinson was idiotic. Considering Robinson is just as fast if not faster and pinch ran the NEXT batter for Plouffe our 3B(where Nunez went to play from DH spot)

And then having NO ONR ready with 4 righties still available to face Kinsler and Martinez.

Isn't that what September is for? Having a deep roster?

Minnesota teams always fear a team from detriot. Deep down they fear us

After week 1. Viking DB was talking crap. Some thing about beating the lions...both teams folded up. Much like a JET team would....Stafford should light up vikings......only. he has to THROW THE BALL TO CALVIN!!!!!!!!!!!! Lombardi sucks as a O cordinator

[broncosmitty]

He made it look easy last night.

Easy!

The Royals 2015 divisional pennant will be their first one in the history of the AL Central.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The Tigers are looking at their seventh last place finish in the AL Central. That's the second most -- only behind the Royals' eight -- in the history of the division.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The Indians are the only team in the AL Central that have never come in last place.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The White Sox have only finished in the basement once in AL Central history.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

With only four AL Central titles, the Detroit Tigers are tied for second least in the division.

Hey, @dougplayer , how do you feel about the fact that the Tigers have the second least ALC titles, and the second most ALC basement finishes? If they can't dig out next week, the Tigers will have claimed one third of all the last place finishes in AL Central.

It was a nice four year run, buddy, but it's all over now and it's back to the shithole for the Tigers. The bright side is that, considering the history, you should be used to this. Although, I suppose the very real possibility exists that you became a Tigers fan sometime in the summer of 2011 and you're not used to rooting for a shitty team. I guess we'll find out.

That must be why nobody goes to their games.

 

[Howie115]

That must be why nobody goes to their games.

Yeah, even when they were winning ... 15,000 empty seats at a playoff game. Great fan support there in Cleveland.

And yet, to use a certain Royals fan's logic, the Tigers and Indians have the same number of World Series titles since the inception of the AL Central (zero). So who gives a rat's ass.

Isn't that true!

Generally speaking, Indians fans are fair weathered. They'll point to the sell out streak of 455 games as evidence that they'll support a team if it's good. That was a perfect storm because 1) Downtown Cleveland had just gone through some major renovations, including The Jake and Gund Arena 2) the Indians were kicking ass for multiple years and (I think most importantly) 3) the Browns were gone.

When Indians fans say their fan base supports teams if they're good, tell them bullshit. In 2007 the Indians tied for the best record in baseball. They ranked 21st in attendance. This year they rank 2nd to last. It's a shame.

A binary outcome for baseball teams of Championship or nothing is a decidedly Yankee fan way of thinking. It's amusing to me to even imagine a Royals fan thinking that way. Oh well. I guess we can't expect too much from folks who have only been watching baseball for the last eleven months. Give them a few more years and they should get it.

As much as I shit on the Indians' fan base, I highly doubt that there've been any empty seats at the Jake for a playoff game, much less 15,000 of them. That's just a ridiculous claim. Do you have anything to back up that assertion?

Tickets to the double header we had the other day, were as low as two dollars. If it hadn't been opening Sunday for the NFL, I prolly woulda made the drive.

The Jake is one of the best places to watch a game. And when Indian fans are going, an even better place to talk shit. Hahaha.
