I lol'd

I would love to go to more games...I just can't justify spending the kind of money to go to Browns/Cavs games, and on a lesser scale...Indians games. I think of the cost of driving,parking,tickets for 4, and food, I think of all of the other things I could better spend my money on for my family. 99% of the time I'd rather stay at home and watch on HD vs. dropping $100 at least for 1 regular season game. Call me cheap...but I feel like there's probably a good amount like me out there.

Know the feeling when you are trying to bring a family to the games. Can be tough. Do the Indians allow you to bring in a small cooler? REds you can bring in a small soft sided cooler and we usually bring some drinks/snacks but still allow everyone to get something as well, and if we make it to the dollar hot dog stand stock up on those!

Yeah, if it was me I would scalp tix there but I wont be able to do so after 9am and it would be left up to them and I would rather have tix in hand for them instead of them trying to find em themselves.

It looks like the Tribe has at least a modicum of control of all but Crisp, Napoli and Davis.

If Brantley is healthy, would they try to resign either OF?

Speaking of this... do you raise your kids as fans of the local teams and take them to their games, or as fans of the teams you were raised on and root for.

Brantley may very well be playing first base next year

WIth all my nieces/nephews it has come down to them gravitating to what the parents follow and watch. WHen they get a little older some start to gravitate to someone else. Luckily I saved 1 nephew from a browns family....he seems to enjoy SUnday's a bit more than the rest of his family.

lol not even difficult. If you moved to Croatia, you making your kids root for Croatia over USA in the world cup final match? Yeah didn't think so.

They play baseball in Colorado.... ....
....and it's in the national League.


No problem rooting for both until they meet in the World Series....Then you root for the Indians, and they get their choice.

Croatia, Denver. Pretty much the same thing huh? Point is I got to go to old Municipal stadium all the time to watch the Browns and Indians play. Just wondering if it's only fair they can go to Coors field and Mile High to watch their team. Obviously I'd still be Cle til i die. Which may or may not make them want to be Cleveland fans too.

Sounds reasonable.

You are young enough to have missed the Elway eliminating the incredibly loaded Browns teams of the mid 80's....if you witnessed those years you could never root for the Broncos.

Rockies games should be good to watch

Never thought of Brantley playing 1B...wow..but it might make sense.
I thought there would be no way that the Tribe could sign Napoli after the year he had.....but considering he disappeared in Sept/Oct. he might be cheap
I could see the Tribe re-signing Davis who is unlikely to get a multiyear contract. The Tribe doesn't mind doing 1 year deals.
I don't see Coco coming back.

I grew up an AF brat living in many places overseas and domestically. As you already know I am a diehard Cleveland fan. It never crossed my mind once to root for any of the teams in the area we lived in.

I think you know what you have to do...

Id never root for any city besides Cleveland anyways. I wouldn't be against letting the kids be Denver fans and taking them to Broncos and Rockies games.

My brother and SIL lived in Arizona for the first 4.5 and 2.5 years of my niece and nephew's lives. Now they live in San Diego. His kids are Cleveland fans, period. They love watching games and rooting for their dad's favorite teams with him.

Now that I'm able to relax a little bit now and reflect, I want to thank all our stalwart posters for our Tribe through thick and thin this great season.

I went back to the first series thread to look at all the names because I didn't want to forget anybody.

The first thread was started by the name at the top of the list. Beyond that, the names are in no particular order of importance (just so no one gets butt hurt about not being more toward the top of the list.).

(apologies for my abbreviations)

I salute all of the following and thank you for a wonderful season of memories provided by all your posts!

Ironman: you are a Reds fan.

You were a band wagoner by your own admission on this playoff ride.

You are a baseball fanatic.

You give us stats.

I thank you.

Thanks and reps to BRF for the list. The season long series threads were always enjoyable to read even when I wasn't posting on them. I didn't post on any thread very much as I was tired of a couple of posters but they are in the basement now and my posting has picked up. Glad I started posting on these threads as all of the posters mentioned above love the Tribe and didn't bash or belittle people for their opinions. To everyone involved thanks and Go Tribe.

BRF, in the immortal words of Angus Young (with liberties taken)...thanks, and "we salute you"!!!

If not Napoli, looking at Steven Pearce/Adam Lind type. They won't be moneying up for Ed Encarnacion.

Yeah.....It was a great ride from April to November, and a big thanks to all who contributed to the enjoyment of this season.

Coming soon... Tribe Hot stove!
