Every time the Cleveland Guardians/Indians have been eliminated from the postseason
I don’t particularly care for the Yankees…
Imagine ever being eliminated by the Yankees
Imagine
The 1997 World Series ending in a game 7 walk off really isn’t talked about as much as you think it would be
Forever hate the cubs for 2016. Idc
Softest rain delay ever killed the momentum.
That rain was God was crying cause he knew how damn beautiful the next few minutes we’re gonna be
Shaw should have never been back out there after it either. Bauer’s stuff was dirty out of the pen after him.
Idk what’s worse… blowing a 3-1 lead in 2016 or using Austin Hedges as a pinch hitter in 2020 when down to your final out
2016, because it was Michael Martinez who had come off the bench to end it… a double whammy.
An NL West team is next
So, Giants or Dodgers? I think you did the other 3.
This just seems mean
You know what’s mean? David Ross hitting a home run off Andrew Miller.
Goddamn they really just didn’t make any appearances for so long. Being a non-Yankees, non-As team in the World Series Only era was rough.
Gleyber doing the rock the baby always makes me laugh.
Gleyber was a total dick for it too. Naylor was never mocking the Yankees with that gesture.
Was he not screaming “HE’S MY LIL FUCKING SON” about Gerrit Cole? Is that not mocking the Yankees?
At least Cleveland has two positive memories against the Yankees. Twins have zero
Yeah but the Yankees killed Ray Chapman. I think it balences out
The win in 97 was coco-bananas. The loss in 17 hurts the worst. Team of destiny flared out in the home stretch. They peaked too early.
hey fuck you buddy
Add the Guardians to the list of perennial Yankees doormats… also, if there was one year for them to win it all in the last thirty, 2016 was that one. Damn rain delay.
We’ve eliminated NYY several times as well.
Ironically, that was also the year where we didn’t face the Yankees in the playoffs
Coulda done without this today.
Was that Omar Vizquel at the plate three different times?
I was going to sarcastically ask about the Cleveland Spiders. They’re known for their terrible 20-134 record in 1899, and they existed before the first official World Series in 1903. But it’s worth noting they did make a World Series, in 1892.
It was a very interesting but outdated format, with the series being 5-0-1 for the Boston Beaneaters.
Technically speaking, the Cleveland Spiders and the team that eventually became the Cleveland Indians/Guardians are two entirely separate entities.
The extant franchise originated as a minor league team in Columbus, OH called the Columbus Buckeyes/Senators in 1896, was moved to Grand Rapids, MI for a bit, then to Cleveland in 1900 as the Cleveland Lakeshores. When the American League was founded in 1901, they became the Bluebirds/Blues, and changed to the Cleveland Naps in 1903 after their star player, Nap(oleon) Lajoie.
Teams left that have not had their video made yet :
Mariners Athletics Padres Dodgers Twins Marlins Braves Orioles Red Sox Yankees Brewers Reds Cardinals
Gleyber Torres on four of these teams lol.
Wait, from 1955 to 1994, the indians never made the playoffs?
Pick up “The Curse of Rocky Colovito” by Terry Pluto for the full story
Oh, right, now I remember: I hate Fernando Rodney.
Im 80% sure he said white sox instead of red sox when they won the pennant
I watched all of these besides the first one. Yep, still hate it
Thanks I hate it.
I don’t know what’s worse:
there’s nothing from 54-95 which is my dad’s first 40 years of his life (he’s 71 now)
Or 95-now seeing them come close three times and nothing for the first 40 years of my life
When they went to the World Series in 95, my father and I were watching the Tribe play in it for the first time.
In 97 the game 7 went late into the night. I went up to my parents room and turned on the TV with the rabbit ears. I started snoozing. I woke up and turned my head to check the score and it was right as the ball glanced off Charlie’s glove and into center, I grabbed the remote turned the TV off and went right back to sleep.
1:35 it was really heartbreaking when the White Sox won the pennant right there
That one against the cubs in a 10th inning World Series loss was one of life’s most beautiful moments.
