Okay so the Indians are the hottest team in the American League

right now...

Eight straight wins...

And on Fox Sport cover page for baseball, not even a mention...

I can see the Rookie tossing a No Hitter, that's a no brainer...

But Pedro MArtinez coming back, not pitching, just coming back to the Mets makes the Headlines...

Julio Franco resigning with the Braves makes the headlines...

The Mariners losing the eighth straight makes the headlines...

So what do the Indians have to do to make the headlines...

We get it, Cleveland is a backwater town, it's not Boston or New York or even Atalanta, but the Indians are a really good team, a special team that has been able to stay on the ball even though their best Home Run hitter, Hafner, has only belted 19 so far this year...

But this bi-coastal obsession is getting old...

1. Maybe it's because Cleveland is a blue town?

And you know how Faux news is about that!

I dunno....

2. Fox Sports is different...

It's not on the News Network...

It's a seperate entity...

5. I wish I knew.

The wheels seem to have come off the bus.

It's not too late to turn it around, but I'm not holding my breath.

6. I hail from the Larry Doby years of the Cleveland Indians.

What have they done since 1954?

7. What have they done since 1954...?

Maybe: dropped and then went back to using the most offensive ethnic stereotype in sports as their logo? :puke:

in the 90's...

And this year they are the third best team in Baseball...
