They may compete for the worst record in baseball.

Wow, what a change one year can make. Last year it was so positive, and after only a few games of losing, we kept hearing "it's early.........".

My oh my. None of you must be real Tribe fans then.

I'm a real Tribe fan...20 years of season tickets. I still have them. They are going to suck.

No doubt. I will watch, but I have absolutely no expectations at all.

Ill watch all 162 games if I am able too (work, etc.) and I will support them till the season is over. But Im not an idiot, and they are gonna blow.

a month or two...hahahha you better give them about 2 years.

The great thing though, is that with no expectations, the trolls are going to have to find something else to justify their existence.

It's not their fault, but it's still going to be ugly.

Apparently you guys have learned to feel as I do as a Pirates fan.

"We're going to suck, but things will be better in the future! ....won't they?...."

I am not a Indians fan anymore. The Owners and GM's have fucked with me too many times. GO BREWERS!!!

I'm still a Tribe fan but this season is going to be a disaster. I won't pay to go to any games in Cleveland (just like last year) but I will still watch and support the players. At least I have the Akron Aeros.

They need new ownership. Spending a mere 65 million on payroll isn't gonna get you much (other than TB a few years ago). Besides, wtf does it matter? We'll just groom another Cy Young or MVP caliber player and trade him off for a bag of peanuts and a has been 35 year old. Indians baseball is getting really unwatchable. I've been a fan of them my whole life and used to spend quite a bit of coin going to games. Not this year...i'll watch it on the tube.

You got that right, nobody on this team better win a Cy Young or MVP because they will be packing their bags and heading out of town.

Good idea Fab, might be a season to check out the Aeros or the Clippers down in C-Bus.

You can get good value watching the CLippers.

Not a fan of the Indians, but I did enjoy the game I went to last summer.

Not everyone thought they were going to be good last season.

I'm sure not many thought they would be as bad as they were.

Aeros games are fun! They have good fireworks every Friday and $1 drafts on Thursdays. The first time I ever met Mantooth was at a Thursday game...we got good and hammered and when my sister asked him where he was staying he kept pointing at a random office building, lol.

Is the Tribe going to be bad, probably, but they should be exciting to watch this year. The line-up shouldn't be too bad and they should be able to run a little this year. Hopefully the opening day line-up is something like:
1- Brantley (LF)
2- Cabrera (SS)
3- Sizemore (CF)
4- Peralta (3B)
5- Choo (RF)
6- Hafner/Marte (DH)
7- Laporta (1B)
8- Marson/WT/Santana/Redmond (C)
9- Valbuena (2B)

The starting rotation on the other hand appears to be a disaster. I will be really irritated if the Tribe signs a couple stiffs to steal at bats away from the young guys. If we are going to lose, then lose and let the "prospects" play so you can find out if they can play at this level or not.

I'm more excited to go to Clippers games. I will not spend a dime on Indians tickets or merchandise this year....I'll be damned if the Dolan's see a penny from me. The attendance at Progressive Field this year could reach an all time low

I posted this very thing on the huddle and was jumped on by the not so smart followers of this organization for being a true fan. I think it’s funny that those same followers have not jumped all over this post.
