Here's why we can't afford it: When was the last time the Fen didn't sell out? How many people are there walking around with Sox gear in cities other than Boston?
Now ask the same question about the Jake and Indians gear. Cleveland isn't full up of rich people who can afford season tickets. The nation didn't jump on the Indians bandwagon like people did on the Sox. Crying about the curse for 80 god damn years made you jerks seem likeable for some stupid reason, and then you won after a decade of huge payroll and people acted like you were underdogs or something. You're right, Yankee payroll is 50 million more than yours. But yours is 60 million more than ours, so I think I get to hate you even more than you hate the Yankees.
Now, no hard feelings. I have family and friends in Boston, so I hear this stuff all the time. And I'll tell you: Fenway is a great park, and I love going to games there, and I like the Red Sox. But I like the Tribe more.
