Capitalism Has No Favorite Team

Cleveland Indians fans are sour.

Following a three-game sweep at the hands of the wallet thumping Yankees, the fans, acting like a jealous boyfriend, were looking at any possible way to get back at the man.

So, what was the straw that broke the camels back?

Horrendous picthing? A deceased offense? Nope.

Derek Jeter bobble heads.

As Cleveland.com reports on their blog, Jacobs Field was selling — gasp– Yankees merchandise!

Lifelong Tribe fan Matt Linse, 33, from Erie, Pa., went to Jacobs Field Saturday night (an 11-2 Yankees thumping) and walked into the team shop to buy one of the “crooked C” hats he wore as a kid in the late 1970s. When he saw an impressive display of Yankees merchandise, he said he wanted to throw up.

“It wasn’t like it was a corner store or some vendor,” said Linse, who was still upset Tuesday. “It’s inside Jacobs Field. And they have all this Yankees stuff!”

Hey! At least you still have Die Hard Night!

As Harry Doyle stated, “It’s free admission for anyone who was actually alive the last time the Indians won the pennant.”

That is an organization that cares!
