Not being in it for 20 years is not nearly as disappointing as seeing them lose it in '74, '77, n' 78.
Now that's just crazy. I simply can't say I prefer the 2009 Indians over the 1995 or 1997 teams.

Well, Cleveland's expectations are to be 2nd best, or less. It's comfortable for them.

Cub fans are proof that it ain't just about showing up n' trying hard. How pathetic were the Giants losing to the Cubs last night? Had a chance to get to within 3 of the Rocks, and blew it. Just needed one more out. They would of had that out, but the catcher threw way high trying to catch a guy stealing second. Stick figure 2nd baseman came down hard. Then the Baker guy made them pay. I almost felt sorry for them, but no.

I guess that shows just how solid the NL West is, besides the Dodgers, they will do well in almost any other division
