The Cleveland Indians versus Jake Arrieta
November 1, 2016NEO High School Football Week 10: St. Ignatius beats St. Edward
November 1, 2016The Cleveland Indians are up 3-2 in the World Series needing just one more victory over the vaunted Cubs from Chicago to lay claim to the 2016 MLB championship and continue the Northcoast’s run of sporting excellence.
However, it seems the Cubs scratching out a hard fought one-run win in Game 5 alongside an epic mainstream media onslaught of Second City propaganda has shaken the confidence of some of the fans who cheer for the Tribe. Fear not, for WFNY has found original manuscripts that were altered later1 to create some of America’s greatest motivational speeches. Here they are in their original2 glory to help prepare for what promises to be among the city’s greatest triumphs.

Last night I had a dream, When I got to Cleveland,
I had one hell of a rumble.
I had to beat Big Papi’s behind first,
For claiming to be King of the AL.
For this fight, I’ve wrestled with Red Sox,
I’ve tussled with a Blue Jay.
I done handcuffed Bautista
And throw Pedroia in jail.
You know I’m bad.
just last week, I struck out a Bryant,
Homered off a Lester, stole three bags.
I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.
I’m so fast, man,
I can run through a stop sign and don’t get out.
When the Chicago Cubs meet me,
They’ll pay their debt.
I can drown the drink of water, and kill dead trees.
Wait till you see Champagne at Napoli’s.
Herb Brooks
Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that’s what you have here tonight, Tribe. That’s what you’ve earned here tonight. One game; if we played them ten more times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we hit with them. Tonight we pitch with them, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest baseball team in the world. You were born to be baseball players—every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It’s over. I’m sick and tired of hearing about what a great baseball team the Cubs have. Screw ’em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!

The 1990s Cleveland Indians were not that different from you, were they? Same haircuts (except for you Jose Ramirez). Invincible, just like you feel. Multiple World Series championships would lay at their feet. They believed they were destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes were full of hope, just like you.
Did they wait until it was too late to take from their careers even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see Tribe, those Indians teams are now part of the history of Cleveland. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? – – Carpe – – hear it? – – Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day Tribe, make your careers extraordinary and bring a World Series championship to this city TONIGHT!
Babe Ruth
You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you’re a boy and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in your national pastime, the only real game — I think — in the world, baseball.
As a rule, some people think if you give them a football, or a baseball, or something like that — naturally they’re athletes right away.
But you can’t do that in baseball.
You’ve gotta start from way down at the bottom, when you’re six or seven years of age. You can’t wait until you’re fifteen or sixteen. You gotta let it grow up with you. And if you’re successful, and you try hard enough, you’re bound to come out on top — just like these boys from Cleveland are about to come to the top in Game 6 of the World Series. TONIGHT!

Well, Tribe, I haven’t a thing to say. Played a great series… all of you. Great series. Listening to the media, I guess we just can’t expect to win ’em all.
I’m going to tell you something I’ve kept to myself for years. None of you ever knew Rocky Colavito. It was long before your time. But you know what a tradition he is with the Cleveland Indians. And the last thing he said to me, ‘sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the Tribe, tell them to go out there with all they got and win just one for Rocky. I don’t know where I’ll be then,’ he said, ‘but I’ll know about it, and I’ll be happy.
And don’t forget, Tribe— today is the day we’re gonna win. They can’t lick us — and that’s how it goes… The first platoon men — go in there and fight, fight, fight, fight, fight! What do you say, Tribe!
Coach Carter
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Vince Lombardi
You are the only team maybe in the history of Major League Baseball that will ever have this opportunity to defeat these Chicago Cubs. Tribe, if I were you I would be so proud of that I would just fill up. It’s not going to come easy. This is a club that’s going to hit. They are going to try and hit. You are just going to take it out of them, just hit, just run, just pitch and just defend. You do that and there is no question what the answer is going to be in this ball game. Keep your poise. There is nothing that they can show you out there you haven’t faced a number of times. Right? Right!

Men of Cleveland! Of Parma! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come, when the courage of the Tribe fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship. An hour of Cubs, and shattered shields, when the Age of the Cleveland Indians comes crashing down. But it is not this day; this day, we fight!

In the Year of our Lord, 2016, patriots of Cleveland – starving and outnumbered – charged the fields of Jacobs. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Ohioans, and won their freedom.
A shout out to Parma! I used to play some serious roller hockey there.
Ha ha haaa, great stuff, Michael.
Well the media can just kiss our ass from now on! We’re not takin’ this. Arrieta . . . he’s a dead man. Zobrist . . . dead! SCHWARBERRRRRR . . .
Watched ESPN this morning for the 7am Sports Center Live! show. first 10 minutes was about how good the Cubs were and how they were positioned to win the World Series. They also mentioned that the world series games will be played in Cleveland.
Couldn’t help but think about how much pain the other 49 states will be in tomorrow. Cleveland against the world!

Because it worked when I posted it before June’s Game 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-yZNMWFqvM
And a coincidence that Montjoy, the French messenger, arrives after the speech bedecked in Cubbie blue? Yeah, right.
