Cleveland Guardians

The week, game by game

Each game's fan misery, from first comment to the next game. ● marks a blowup.

• Mon, Oct 19L 3-7@ TBR84

Worst game: Mon, Oct 19, L 3-7 @ Tampa Bay Rays

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

One game, one season, over. The 3-7 loss in Tampa on October 19 closed the series 4-2 and the year at 2-4, and Cleveland fans watched the ending arrive exactly as advertised. The turning point was less a moment than a confirmation: by the final out the thread had stopped analyzing and started grieving. One fan offered "Fuck Paul Dolan, fuck Deshaun Watson, and fuck me for still giving a shit." Another noted that when Tom Hamilton says "So long everybody," something dies. Misery jumped from 36 to 84. Honor, apparently, is the consolation prize.
