The Chris Perez situation, as it were, has reached some kind of initial conclusion. I’m sure it will come up again before the end of the year, but all said and done, against the Tigers when given their first chance to respond to the outspoken Tribe closer, the Cleveland Indians faithful were supportive.

Preview - Indians vs. Tigers showdown

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  May 22, 2012
Chris Perez expressed his frustration at the poor attendance by Cleveland Indians fans this season. Perhaps those fans are waiting to see how their club fares against the defending AL Central champion Detroit Tigers. The Indians dropped their final 10 meetings with the Tigers last year, a skid they'll try to snap in their first 2012 matchup Tuesday night at Progressive Field...

Perez rant shines ugly light on Cleveland fans

Via Cleveland Sports Torture  |  May 22, 2012
In Cleveland, perception is reality. If you want a look into the mind of the petulantly angry Cleveland fan, at least as perceived by closer Chris Perez during his outburst to reporters over the weekend, look no further than the small table set up on the outdoor patio of Panini's Bar and Grill on E. 9th St. in downtown Cleveland. There stands a young capitalist...

Indians' attendance should increase as summer approaches

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 21, 2012
Indians closer Chris Perez ignited a firestorm of controversy in Cleveland last weekend when he ripped fans for their lack of support of the team. At the time of Perez's comments, the Indians were last in the majors in average per-game home attendance and second to last in the majors in total home attendance. The irony of the hullabaloo is that it's really a non-issue,...

Indians in first despite lacking 'star power'

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  May 24, 2012
CLEVELAND -- Baseball statements are not made in May, so the Cleveland Indians three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers counts for no more than three wins. But it's safe to say that the Indians gave the Tigers -- and everyone who conceded Detroit the Al Central title in the offseason -- something to think about. The Indians beat all-world ace Justin Verlander Thursday afternoon...

Indians 5, Tigers 3: Perez Gets His Wish, Then Delivers As the Crowd Cheers Him

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  May 23, 2012
Tribe closer Chris Perez has been lightning rod of controversy since his comments after Saturday’s 2-0 win over the Miami Marlins. On Sunday morning, he spoke in even deeper detail and refused to back off what he said. During that diatribe, he made a bold call – “I hope my first (save) chance is in a one run game facing (Miguel) Cabrera and (Prince) Fielder.” He would get...

Tigers' win streak vs. Indians ends

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  May 22, 2012
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Chris Perez, greeted by a standing ovation from the time he left the bullpen, worked another scary ninth inning for his 14th save as the Cleveland Indians ended a 10-game losing streak to Detroit with a 5-3 win over the Tigers on Tuesday night. Perez had been critical of recent booing during an appearance and called the Indians' major league-worst attendance...

Oh What a Night

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  May 24, 2012
Maybe Chris Perez was onto something. It is not news that baseball is much better with a stadium packed with fans. Loud and boisterous and cheering for their team, the Indians last night got a taste of what the entire summer could be like every time they take the field if they continue to play the way they are. I was there last night at Progressive Field. It was my 10th game of the...

Counterpoint: A Cleveland Resident and Indians’ Fan Perspective on Low Attendance at Progressive Field

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  May 23, 2012
Yesterday on this very web site there was an article written by AJ Kaufman in which he wrote about the lack of attendance at Cleveland Indians games despite the time being in first place. His view was against the fans of Cleveland, and he essentially called them out while providing some rationale for why this fan apathy has developed over the last decade even when the team has been...

Indians complete sweep of Tigers

Via AP on Fox  |  May 24, 2012
After the final out, closer Chris Perez let out a primal scream and punched the air in celebration. The Cleveland Indians, overlooked and underappreciated - even by many of their own skeptical fans - had swept three straight from the Detroit Tigers and their high-priced lineup. Maybe the AL Central will be a race after all. Unless the Indians run away with it. Justin Masterson...

The Cleveland Indians took their second game in a row from the Detroit Tigers. The Indians sent Zach McAllister to the mound for the start and he pitched 6-1/3 innings very well. McAllister gave up 8 hits and two runs. McAllister has done nothing but great things for the Cleveland Indians since stepping in for Tomlin. Tribe Skipper is very lucky to have Zach to come up and fill in...

One of the topics that has become hot this weekend with all dirt that Chris Perez stirred up this is that Cleveland sports fans are hypocrites. As we all know this fan base sells out Browns stadium year-in and year-out1 with an ownership group that has been almost 100% inept in winning football games since 1999. By comparison the Indians have done far better in their standings and...
