This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They handled this pretty well..Love the choice of Tom Hanks by Domerduck

to do the announcement. I like the linked story on why Hanks. No crying in baseball, but the announcement brought a tear to my eye being a sentimental Indian's fan who grew up in Cleveland. Even as a transplant I still listen to Hammy & Ronsenthal most games and watch on TV when I can. I like the change to Guardians. I agree with you that I hope they finally get that championship soon which hasn't happened in my lifetime, but my dad (RIP) would tell me about how cool 1948 was led by HOFer player/manager Lou Boudreaux. Maybe I'll go to a Guardians/Mariners game next year as I've headed up to Seattle several times to catch Indians games the last 40 years living in the Northwest.

Also glad they never called them the Cleveland baseball team.
