As most people who regularly read The Dugout know, I'm in the Tribe. I love the Indians. I wore my Indians hat to Yankee Stadium last weekend to watch them get eviscerated by the Yankees. I have four different pictures with Slider on my Facebook and I was excited to meet Josh Barfield, who in the grand scheme of things is about as famous as my Dad. They were my first "hometown" team, and I will stand by them no matter how many A-leaguers they try to pass off as the 40-man roster.That being said, any Indians fan who expressed joy or made an excuse for Jim Joyce's colossally bad call last night should be ashamed of themselves. I've heard everything from "he wasn't holding the ball" to "Cabrera shouldn't have fielded the play" to "GO TRIBE WOO." Here is some straightforward blogger honesty for you: you are dumb.
Today's Dugout follows.
