I was born an Orioles fan, but fate and contextually affordable housing in the Bedford, Ohio area has made me an Indians fan. Pictured to the right is me with Slider, the Indians mascot, post dimensional jump.

The Indians don't use the Official Chatroom of Major League Baseball, so we don't feature them a lot. If you're a longtime reader you know about what's coming after the jump. If you don't, get ready to watch as I spend about a day and a half trying to narrow down all the crazy stuff that's happened to the Indians this winter into one online conversation without resorting to movie parody or epic mythological magicks battles.

You'll be seeing a lot more of the Indians this season. O-H, I-O (or whatever) after the jump.

The Dugout

	Messenger Chat Admin : Welcome to the Indians Carpool Chatroom.
	Pronky_Kong: yeah that song kinda sucks, they just say "carlito carlito carlito" over and over... oh, but this next one rocks, this is Batista's theme... /turns up radio
	Pronky_Kong: screaming I'VE WALKED FOR MILES INSIDE THIS PIT OF DANGERRRRR
	GonnyGarko: haha jesus how long is that pit, i thought a pit was supposed to be like a singular hole
	biscuits_and_grady: /turns down radio Ugh, no more wrestler themesongs. And before you ask, no, we can't listen to John Cena's rap CD either.
	Pronky_Kong: Not even the part at the beginning where it goes "oooooh rappa doo?"
	biscuits_and_grady: no, especially not that part, and I'm pretty sure he's not saying ooh rappa doo.
	NeedsABathia: yeah guys I think we should catch up and talk about what the Indians did in the offseason. that'd be a great prep for the season.
	GonnyGarko: yeah man but we aren't the sox or the yankees, what do we even have to talk about?
	biscuits_and_grady: we could talk about how Shin-Soo Choo is legally bound to serve two years in the South Korean military
	NeedsABathia: we could talk about Choo being holed up in an abandoned building somewhere in Korea with a bowie knife waiting for some terrorist to come around the corner, and then right when the guy gets close Choo gets hurt and has to be replaced and they make Franklin Gutierrez stab the terrorist
	Pronky_Kong: we could talk about how much Choo loves TNA wrestling and how his favorite wrestler is Rellik, and how he's always cheering for Rellik to win
	GonnyGarko: Ah, Choo.
	Pronky_Kong: we could talk about how I've taught my miniature purse hound to attack Casey Blake on sight
	Pronky_Kong: then we could talk about how my dog and I can do the Fastball Special like Wolverine and Colossus and how Casey Blake is totally screwed
	Pronky_Kong: we could talk about how i had a really boring winter
	GonnyGarko: we could talk about how we signed kobayashi, and how he immediately trounced me in a hot dog eating contest
	NeedsABathia: we could talk about how my contract is going to totally screw everybody who has ever thought about playing in Cleveland
	biscuits_and_grady: we could talk about how Jacobs Field is now called "Progressive Field."
	Pronky_Kong: and now John Adams has to play a bunch of "Yes" songs on his drum
	GonnyGarko: and now I'm pretty sure I can drive my car into the side of the stadium and not get in trouble for it
	NeedsABathia: You can't blame them for the name change, though, we needed the money to pay back all of those bug handlers for attacking Joba Chamberlain in the ALDS
	GonnyGarko: that's right, without those bugs we wouldn't have won three games
	Pronky_Kong: we could talk about Juan Lara.
	biscuits_and_grady: we could talk about last year's ALCS and what we did wrong
	GonnyGarko: we could talk about the browns
	NeedsABathia: We could talk about Cleveland.
	Pronky_Kong: ...
	biscuits_and_grady: ...
	NeedsABathia: Hey, good luck this year, you guys.
	GonnyGarko: yeah. /leans seat back
	Pronky_Kong: /turns up the radio
