That's on the Reds fans for not showing up to support their team. Don't like being outnumbered in your own park? Go to the fricking game.

Cubs fans aren't even close to being as unbearable as Red Sox nation but that might change soon if they win a World Series in the near future.


Oh I guarantee you, when they win a WS...they will be at the top of this list...no doubt

I don't blame Reds fans for not showing up and supporting their team. They've had nine straight losing seasons. That's pretty pathetic. The only MLB franchises that's worse than the Reds right now are the Pirates, Orioles and Royals.

I don't either. But it makes no sense to boycott the games, then get pissed because the Cubs travel so well.

Even the blogger they quoted said it was because the team alienates its own fans. So there's your reason...the fans hate the team. Aside from Cleveland though, there's very little opinion I am sure.


A couple of years ago when we beat the Yankess in the playoffs and eventually lost to the Red Sox the city was up for grabs and crazy about the Tribe. What a great game when the bugs came in from the lake and swarmed that slob Joba. Kenny Loften came up big and we rolled the Yanks. Awesomness!!

Cleveland Indians hate their owner because they think he's cheap as hell. I can't really blame them. They've let a lot of good players go over the years. It's hard to remember the last time the Indians forked over a significant amount of money to keep one of their own.

No matter though, blowing the 3-1 lead to Boston made me want to puke...but I didn't.

They failed with Thome, they failed with ManRam. Those are the two significant ones of this decade. They didn't even try to retain CC or Cliff Lee. I am pretty sure Grady is the only one they will retain, but he is losing his star status quick. I guess they gave Hafner big bucks, but that is a waste.

Shaprio really fricked em up. That's all I can say. Sometimes it's a good thing I am a Tribe fan stuck in Texas/Louisiana, because I would wanna kill Mark and the Dolans...

And besides...any list that a financial paper comes out with is bullshite...it's like all that Forbes crap. They don't know shite about the best college town, best sports universities, etc, etc.

Travis Hafner...a complete bust. They could have saved that money for CC/Lee

You could literally make a legit all-star team out of all the ex-Indians that management has let go

Definitely...and this goes way back to. I read about the shite that went down with Maris, Colavito, Eckersley, etc, etc.

I am starting to believe this frickin' team is cursed.

Brandon Phillips for a player to be named later. I don't even remember who that player ended up being, but I do know that he sucked.

Damn...I forgot who it was. A waste. Although, the Bartolo Colon deal for Lee, Sizemore, and...(I forget this as well) was like grand theft something. I guess the same could be said for the Expos...all-star talent always leaving. Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Larry Walker, Andres Galarraga, Vlad Guerrero, Sizemore, Lee, etc, etc, etc.

The only thing to hate about the Indians is that racist arse name.
