With that lineup (wow), you should be embarrassed not to have a World Series title.

Tigers fans are frustrated at not having a WS Championship the last couple years, but it's laughable that Indians fans are talking about "May" Championships. I think they've won the last 2.

I can purchase them too....it's not like these "fake because they would be ridiculous shirts" are limited to people who are obsessed from the northern parts of other states.....people in the southern parts could as well.

Ok but your team hasn't been to 3 straight CS is the point. It's not like we're failing miserably

I love when Detroit fans talk shit about the Indians. Detroit has a long way to go before they pass what the Indians did in the 90s. And the Tribe during this run has been way better than Detroit was during the Tribes best years. Really just makes you laugh. Trust me Tiger fans, if you don't win a WS in this span (and Illitch dies), you will look back at that time with a TON of regret, just like all Indians fans do. Not failing per se, we still relish those days, but a ton of regret nonetheless.

EDIT: no one on here in particular, but being from Toledo, I hear it a lot even though I no longer live there.

Top of the 3rd Puig hit a 440 foot HR and the guy ridiculously throws it back and the next inning a Dbacks player hits another one that he caught?

Not how it's supposed to work!

The problem I have is that Indians fans are easily the worst in the league. Just absolutely no support at all. It's a joke that they are last in the MLB in attendance despite fielding a playoff team last season. Detroit is averaging 30,595 this season and Cleveland is averaging 13,940 which is 5k less than 29th! Last season Detroit doubled the Indians in attendance despite a fairly tight divisional race. And then no visiting fans wanna go because Cleveland fans in general are bunch of POS so it's just not good anyway you slice it

Because the Dolan's have alienated the fan base with their penny pinching ways.

No one wants to contribute to their bottom line. It is not unlike the Dodger fans who detested giving money to Frank McCourt.

Once again, nobody in Cleveland gives about Detroit. Cleveland vs Detroit is not a thing.

Also, I am glad no opposing fans want to visit. That's how it should be. If you are too much of a puss to go to a game because the home fans are going to hurt your feelz, then you probably shouldn't even watch sports. I don't believe people should fight over sports, but for you I hope you do go to a game in Cleveland and end up getting your ass beaten. It would bring the lulz for this whole site.

Lastly, in regard to our attendance. Yeah it has been shitty. It sucks to see that, but nobody wants to give Dolan money because he is a piece of shit. Anyway I'm not going to go into excuses about that. I wish the attendance was hire, but I understand why not. Two things about attendance:

1. When you low life tiger fans sell out 455 consecutive games, then you can talk shit. Until then, shut the fuck up.

2. Tigers fans only started to show up when they consistently started making the playoffs. You're a fucking child (and a fair weather fan... Didn't see you post much about the lions until their playoff season lolfail) so I am sure you don't remember when the tigers were churning out 100 loss seasons on a consistent basis. You couldn't find any tigers fans then, especially tigers fans from Ohio LOL. Hell, you would have to pay fans to drive to that shit hole city to attend a game. So, don't try and come on here and act like tigers fans are the greatest fans in baseball. As if they are on par with Yankees/Red Sox/cards/Cubs fans. Tigers fans are comparable to patriots fans in the NFL. All of a sudden their franchise booms and now they think they are amazing fans with great knowledge of the game. Excuse me while I lmao. Once that franchise comes back down to earth you guys will be in the same position as tribe fans. Hell the way Detroit is going, the tigers won't even exist in 10 years.

Cliff notes: classy poster is a dumb ass per usual.

this. And to piggy, fuck the dolans. Scumbag POS. Already making a profit before they even sell a single game ticket and can't keep out best players. Not signing masterson is just fucking pathetic. When you have a guy, whos been your ace/workhorse and willing to take a below market deal and it doesn't get done? Well that's just a slap in the face to your fans, and players. Basically sends a "Fuck you" message. We only give a shit about how much $$$ we make. Don't get a shit about the fans, the city, or how hard you work. Really pisses me off. After Modell, Rapistfucker, the dolans are right there on the list. ABOVE LBJ. Would love to see them get what they deserve. Wish they'd be banned from baseball and forced to sell the team ala sterling.

Tha'ts funny. Let me know when the Indians match this:

The Tigers have won four World Series championships (1935, 1945, 1968, and 1984), 11 American League Pennants (1907, 1908, 1909, 1934, 1935, 1940, 1945, 1968, 1984, 2006, and 2012), and three American League Central Division championships (2011, 2012 and 2013). The Tigers also won Division titles in 1972, 1984 and 1987 while members of the American League East

Lol so in the last 30 years... 2 pennants and 4 division titles. We've certainly outdone that.

I don't know you, but if I did, you would easily be the only person I knew who was alive for any of that (in terms of the people who talk shit that my original post was directed at)

I'm sure my previous post about attendance was too long for you. As I said earlier until the tigers sell out 455 straight games, stfu.
