I think most of them were rooting with the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality.<BR/><BR/>One of the Yankee fans I work with has already said that he thinks my Tribe in 6 prediction is a bit optimistic, but that he would <B>love</B> (his usage of bold) to see the Red Sox lose. <BR/><BR/>I don't really care what the NY faithful think. I just know that this team is special and that they are built to win it all and to remain competitive for years to come.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631006365916798557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-62788931886025942682007-10-10T08:46:00.000-04:002007-10-10T08:46:00.000-04:00I have an interesting dynamic in my office.

Both my Sox-fan and Yankee-fan co-workers have been fine (though the Sox series hasn't started yet). The Sox fans were all rooting for the Indians but I'm not sure what dynamic was at work. It certainly wasn't fondness of the Tribe. They were either rooting for us because they hate the Yankees or rooting for us - and thus insulting us - because they thought we'd be easier to beat than the Yanks in round two. I'm saying it's a little of both. Many were rooting for the Tribe to loose Monday night but win in game 5 so CC would not be available for game 1.Ron Vallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515792183023966479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-79614972516038915942007-10-09T21:19:00.000-04:002007-10-09T21:19:00.000-04:00I'm glad that the Yankee fans with whom I work her...I'm glad that the Yankee fans with whom I work here in North Carolina are not particularly obnoxious. I remember when I lived in St. Pete, Florida and I had seasons for the Lightning. Dealing with Rangers fans was awful. I can't imagine what it's like to be on the NYers' turf. I hope you wear all your Indians stuff with pride for as long as you can.<BR/><BR/>What feels great to me is that for one moment they have to look past the Yankee greatness and the NY narcissism to see a team from the Rust Belt that just cleaned their clocks. Some of them might have to admit that our Raffies can pitch and that our center fielder is a legitimate playmaker and budding superstar. If they're really perceptive they may even notice how much this Indians team resembles the team that they still seem to think they have.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is that many of them will now be rooting for Cleveland to beat Boston. Funny how that works.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631006365916798557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-54637075946916904442007-10-09T13:04:00.000-04:002007-10-09T13:04:00.000-04:00I love living in Yankeeland!

Getting on the air on XM last night to do a little gloating was fun too!<BR/><BR/>Listening to WFAN yesterday afternoon, Mike & the Mad Dog gave the Indians no chance to win Game 4. They said Byrd was the kind of pitcher who the Yankees feast on. They never even allowed for the fact that Wang might not have it. All I was thinking was that if we got to Wang, we were in business as their bullpen options were not so great tonight. Luckily Byrd gutted it out & we are on to Boston.<BR/><BR/>But games like that are bad for my ticker!Chris Swartouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959524221539069126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-52265781711578214822007-10-09T12:42:00.000-04:002007-10-09T12:42:00.000-04:00i hate living in yankee land.. but the look on the...i hate living in yankee land.. but the look on their fans faces and the incompetency that comes out of their mouths is priceless after a series like thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-79723827296120478982007-10-09T05:01:00.000-04:002007-10-09T05:01:00.000-04:00wanted - Paul Byrd Fan Club Members !!!

It is 10 times better when they lose to the Tribe!<BR/><BR/>I knew my boy Byrd would give us a good five. Thats all he needed to do.<BR/><BR/>I am so freaking pumped. I won't sleep too much tonite.
