Man they're so loaded for the next few years

Is anyone in the starting lineup other than Zobrist even older than 25?

At least he earned his money

Would rather have marlins man and more of the pink hat guy
Marlin Man is just distracting to me. The constant gesticulations and the all orange with the tilted visor constantly catches my eye. Really annoying.

I'll take pink hat guys grumpy stoicism any day of the week.

Okay, I wouldn't have noticed it in 2004, but if it was like this for the "long suffering Boston fans" than I can understand why other fans would have been annoyed with it.
I have nothing against the Cubs nor their fans, but it seems the Indians are the forgottten guests at the Northside cocktail party. And if it were any other AL team, I might root for the Cubs, (I usually root AL, except fro the MFY) but IMO the Indians have just as much right to claim long suffering status as the Cubs do. But that's not the narrative this year.

And fwiw, I live/work in the NYC metro area and there was little sympathy for long suffering Red Sox fans in '04. They stil hate us.

Why do those men say they are Jamie Fox? I know they are not, because Jamie Fox is in the very same commercial so it's obvious. Why would they lie? Especially when it's so easy to get caught?

And, while we're at it, what has Jamie Foxx been doing since Django Unchained?

Buck sure is doing his part in the Hometown rooting. I don't recall him pulling so hard for the Sox in 2004. Although being unbiased it would have been hard for me to judge that one.

That's to be expected, it's a rivalry. For the record, I didn't root for the MFYs in the 2001 WS either, regardless of how much the media was telling us at the time how it would be a healing moment for the city after 9/11.

As for the Indians, the Cardinals team we beat in 2004 won 105 games that season, survived their own grueling seven game LCS, and still were treated like they were merely extras in our redemption story. There are a number of Cards fans that are still pissed off about that.

Is this a joke? I had to take a stupid phone call from a relation who doesn't know better than to call during the WS.
Nope. Indians took the field but Napoli didn't come out. So Tomlin called the home ump out and was pointing or talking about something with the ball. Then Tomlin and the ump started laughing as Napoli came running out of the dugout.

He just wanted to leave his mark on history

The Sox were second fiddles to Gibson and the Cards in '67, and tables got turned in '04. Seems fair.

Who gives a crap about holier than thou Cardinals fans?
