The 2013 Cleveland Indians

[shoes22]

Ahhhh that's right. That brings back memories. Awful, awful memories I was glad I had forgotten.

Austin Kearns was batting cleanup for us for a stretch. Damn.

 

[Huber.]

The only guy I recognize is O-Cab.
Don't care to know who those other guys were.

Even the names we knew they were way past their prime.

 

[Mr. Orange]

Aside from winning, they've gone above and beyond to make coming to Progressive Field a value.

Their concessions and tickets are amongst the lowest in the league and they've done a ton of work pushing these reduced prices and upgrades to that end.

What tangible effect that has had might not be known for a while.

Dollar dogs Fridays are pretty awesome.

 

[Huber.]

BTW even though attendance was down this year they made more of a profit due to not giving away free tickets and the dynamic pricing system.

 

[The Oi]

So wait, if you lose money in the stock market, you can recoup it by suing your financial advisors? Awesome. I'm sure this will work out well for Mr. Wright.

Perhaps if they were unauth'd? Otherwise, I don't know wtf he's thinking.

House money is on Rob Manfred.

Seems like the heir apparent.

I don't think Shapiro is even in the discussion at this point. Just going by what little I've heard.

Going along with this from earlier.

My #2 guy, but looks to be the #1. Still think Bowman will be an even bigger player in MLB in the years to come.

So, with the game tonight who would you rather have the Indians face: Cobb or Garza?

Cleveland Indians encourage fans to ‘Rock Your Red’ for Wild Card game, plan festivities for Wednesday at Progressive Field


Indians play host to Tampa Bay or Texas in American League Wild Card game

The Cleveland Indians are encouraging fans to “Rock Your Red” on Wednesday at Progressive Field as the team makes its first Postseason appearance since 2007.

The Indians play host to the Tampa Bay Rays or Texas Rangers on Wednesday in the American League Wild Card game, with first pitch scheduled for 8:07PM ET. The game will be broadcast nationally on TBS.

The game is sold out, and Tribe fans are encouraged to wear red clothing to support the club as it pushes for a spot in the American League Division Series. In addition, each fan will receive a white rally towel, courtesy of Progressive Insurance.

“Our players have said repeatedly that our fans’ passion drives them on the field,” said Indians President Mark Shapiro. “Let’s ‘Rock our Red’ on Wednesday to push them to a Wild Card victory and show the nation that this is a Tribe Town!”

Pregame festivities include band, radio remotes outside Progressive Field

The Indians will have a number of festivities for fans prior to Wednesday’s game.

Former Tribe slugger Andre Thornton, a four-time All-Star and Indians Hall of Famer, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the game.

Other festivities include:

Veteran local singer Dan Polk will sing the National Anthem
One, a U2 Tribute band, will play on Gateway Plaza beginning at 5:30PM
SportsTime Ohio’s “All Bets Are Off,” hosted by Bruce Drennan, will broadcast live from Gate C plaza (near the Bob Feller statue) from 5PM-8PM
The “Mike Trivisonno Show” will broadcast live from the Champion Windows Studio inside Progressive Field from 3PM-6PM on Wednesday.
WMMS’ “The Alan Cox Show” will broadcast live from the corner of Rally Alley and Gateway Plaza from 3-7:30PM
All Gates for the Wild Card Game, which is a sellout, will open at 6PM. The Indians encourage fans to be in their seats early to see all the pre-game festivities.

Red is a terrible choice imo seeing that the postseason shirts are blue. Guess I will have to wear OSU gear like the kid in the picture.

 

[MoFlo]

I'm not gonna mention this again, knock it off with the attendance talk. We're not going down that road again

No towels? Also, red is a terrible choice seeing that the postseason shirts are blue. Guess I will have to wear OSU gear like the kid in the picture.

We're getting towels. Also, I agree with Red being terrible. I want to wear one of my jerseys to the game. Who has a red Indians jersey?

My bad I skimmed the article and saw someone complaining about not getting towels. Might have to go purchase a Rick Manning jersey.

No towels? Boo. Those towels looked awesome in 2007. Cool looking crowd is ALWAYS a win. One thing about red is that it pops.

EDIT: Saw the towels post. AWESOME! Hot damn... I want it to be Wednesday. I wanna see a rocking Jake.
