Dumbest post of the thread? I think so! Even as a joke, it makes no sense!

Indian giving is a form of stealing

Fuck the word filter and the faggot dopes that put them in.

Edit: Wow! What an offensive word filter. Who put that in.

Nice 2 bagger by Vic the Stick.

Doesn't look like he's got the A fastball tonight, or his best control either, BUT his off speed stuff is looking good and keeping em off balance.
I'm starting to feel encouraged.

Haven't even been watching the game on gameday but checking in I see a bunch of zeroes up there... Whats been going wrong?

[metaprosthesis]

No. Why? I think he's only the first Navajo, there have been other Native American ball players.

As a reminder, Joba Chamberlain is considered Native America(Winnebago).

*- To easy

As a mildly interesting (to me) aside, the word Winnebago is actually a slur used by a neighboring nation and it means something like "stinky fish people". The people of that area refer to themselves as Hochunk. A name that really calls to mind Joba's mom.

[Jnai]

Wow was that an ugly play in center.

[Sprowl]

WIKTOR!

I get that a lot.

Well done.

[teddywingman]

First Native Major Leaguer was Louis "Chief" Sockalexis from Old Town, Maine.
Possibly the reason why Cleveland is called the Indians...
wiki page on him is sad/interesting.

[nvalvo]

Now that was a real grade A gapper.

[Dionysus]

Terrible swing, Papi.

[EllisTheRimMan]

Terrible swing, Papi.

How was that one?

[TFisNEXT]

Papi!!

[Dionysus]

God, I missed Sox runners crossing the plate. It's so awesome.

[nvalvo]

Way ahead of my feed.

Make this man a member now.

[Jnai]

Was this guy the pitching coach 5 days ago? Didn't notice if they got rid of the rest of the staff too.

Edit; Nevermind.

Much better, but you have to admit the swing on the first pitch was hideous.

[nvalvo]

Close at 3rd. I'd like another look at the Tribe's relay.

[joelmon]

The Indians have a ton of young players but how many of them are considered to have high upside? I know Laporta was thought of highly but I have no idea who these other guys are.

[teddywingman]

Haven't even been watching the game on gameday but checking in I see a bunch of zeroes up there... Whats been going wrong?

Nothing has really gone wrong... several warning track flyballs... he looked better in the 3rd... some of us are probably overreacting to some minor control issues and maybe 1 or 2 MPH velocity.

edit: 'some of us' mainly referring to me.

[Dionysus]

Wow. They played that ball PERFECTLY off the wall.

[TFisNEXT]

Bay thought he hit that out it looked like...slow out of the box.

[EllisTheRimMan]

Wouldn't it be great to play the Indians in the ALDS.

Edit (sort of): OK how many is that for J-Bay?

[Brianish]

He might've gotten in there if he'd kept his leg down.

[Dionysus]

He might've gotten in there if he'd kept his leg down.

Nah. It was well ahead of him. In order to make it, he'd have to have not trotted out of the box.

[EllisTheRimMan]

Just fucking with you.. in a gamethread sort of way, spirit of the thing, kind of something.

[nvalvo]

I love that kind of inning: a good, old-fashioned, crooked number with a bunch of base hits. To me, that's more fun than the three-run HR.

[Dionysus]

Thank god, there goes the no-no. Didn't want Tito to feel he had to let Lester go too deep.

[staz]

Tiff just wrecked the no-no.

I'll take the BB, bloop and blast anyday.

I'll take your word for it. I only saw the shot from behind him.

Agreed. HRs are exciting, but rallies make me happy going into the postseason.


And, nice DP!

[Dionysus]

Sweet DP. Very very nice

[Sprowl]

A seven-pitch inning with a crackling sinker for the double play. I think we can live with that.

[teddywingman]

Nicknamed 'Chief', or 'The Deerfoot of The Diamond"

Sockalexis was a Penobscot from Maine who played for the Cleveland Spiders 1887-1889.

[Savin Hillbilly]

I've said this so many times this year, but there really is nobody better than Pedroia at turning the DP.

[Jnai]

Here's something odd: King Phillip went to war with the colonists. He was a native american.

He's got a badass intimidation look.

Hey chief, I think you mean 1897-1899. He's rumored to have been a distant relative on my mother's side.

[Dionysus]

Oh, ouch. Hope he's ok.

[EllisTheRimMan]

Wow! Gonzalez loves hitting for the Sox. Any statistical explanation for why?

[teddywingman]

what are the fuckin' odds?
He looks worse off than Lester.

[Reverend]

Could he steal second?

The Cleveland Spiders??

[Jnai]

Great. Now pull Lester.

[metaprosthesis]

I think he preferred to be called Metacom, or Metacomet. Yes, I am a nerd.

His power stroke is to left, so he uses the wall a lot.

[EllisTheRimMan]

I'll buy that. Lets keep him. He sure can field his position.

[Jnai]

[metaprosthesis]

Also, he hit before the pitcher in the NL, and he hits before Ellsbury now. If you put any faith at all in lineup protection, then that has to mean a lot.
