You'd hate to hear those old jokes like, "We are now arriving in Cleveland. Set your watches back 42 minutes."

Trade Lee and Sizemore.
Peralta and Garko aren't going to bring much.
WEDEGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AXED A YEAR AGO.

I know Cleveland has had a lot of injuries but Wedge also has to bear a lot of responsiblity. It's time for a change.
We have a pretty good 2nd baseman in triple a but as long as Wedge is there Barfield won't get a chance.
Omar Vizquel is a smart baseball man. I think Cleveland would love to see him brought back to manage the team.

That is one of the most ridiculous comments i've seen.....
Try looking at the Indians history from the 60's til '94, and then reassess your comment.

It's always funny to watch bitter fans say retarded stuff like this and actually call themselves sports fans. If you have any opinions that are this ridiculous, please keep them to yourself. There is no definition of "sucks" that CC meets.
