Are Cleveland Fans Correct In Thinking That The Absence of Chief Wahoo Is Why The Indians Suck This Year?

So today was a great day for me. It’s the first day of summer break, and that meant I got to crack a beer and put my feet up and just BLOG. It also meant that I got to listen to Cleveland sports talk radio for the first time since August. And boy did I miss it. Usually I have to teach Language Arts from 7-3, but today, I was tuned into The Really Big Show with Tony Rizzo. And I don’t care what these New Yorkers say about Mike Francesa, Tony Rizzo is the best radio host in the country. Anyways, the topic of the day was how the Indians are already 10 games back of the freaking Minnesota Twins and it’s not even June 1st yet. Tim Kurkjian said something like only 7 teams in history have held this big of a division lead before June. How did this happen?? We are the 3 time defending AL Central champions. And now we SUCK. And we’re injured. And we can’t hit. Even our MVP candidates can’t get above .200. So what has happened? And there’s no other explanation other than the fact that Chief Wahoo cursed the Tribe on his way out. Forget the fact that we traded away 108 home runs and 433 RBIs. The only thing different about this year’s team and last year’s is our logo. Our logo SUCKS. Chief Wahoo is not rolling over in his grave watching this joke of a team, he’s laughing at us and our stupid hats with a block C on them. So I guess the Indians have two options: bring back the Chief or trade away Trevor Bauer; broken arm Corey Kluber, and Francisco Lindor. What’s the point in keeping them if we stink? Lindors value is at its highest point right now, with 3 years left on his deal. Might as well get something for him and start building for the future if we know we’re going to suck for 3 years before he inevitably leaves. Or we could just resurrect the Chief and go back to normal. The people of Cleveland have spoken their mind:

Bring back the Chief.
