sacker12 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I was glad to see the Braves represented in the commercial where the guy was in the tree (I think it may have been the Cubs commercial, but I'm not sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowahoo Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'm wondering where LaSorda meets up with the Cleveland Indians fans and a guy is wearing a Cincinnati Reds cap. Aren't they in-state rivals? Is that a mess up?The "in-state rivals" is a common misnomer. In football Cleveland and Cinci are certainly...or were... certainly rivals, but not so much in baseball. I am a third generation Indians fan (pops from the West side) and I have no ill-will towards the Reds. Cleveland and Cincinnati are a long ways away. Since I grew up in NW Ohio I have more disdain for the Tigers than the Reds... although I am rooting for the Tigers right now. It's not like Cubs-White Sox at all. I remember attending a game at Comisky Park during the Tribe's good years in the 90s and the Indians were beating up on the White Sox. I was in my Tribe gear and an angry just kept cheering when the scoreboard would update the Reds score as they were winning trying to make me feel bad or something. . . . Which was ironic because the guy I was with was cheering for the Indians but was more so a Reds fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Here's my question: why are like 95% of these spots during the games? We're already watching, so why do you need to win us over, Tom? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're already watching, so why do you need to win us over, Tom?Thats one of my questions....the other is, when he's looking at the guy in the tree w/ a Cubs hat and jersey on, he goes on to ask: "What's his team" The Cubs "Ooh..." When we all knew from the first shot he's a Cub fan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshadow1031 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'm wondering where LaSorda meets up with the Cleveland Indians fans and a guy is wearing a Cincinnati Reds cap. Aren't they in-state rivals? Is that a mess up?Kind of a related question, is this a regional commercial or a nation wide commercial. I live in Northeast Ohio and just figured it was a regional promotion and every other city with thier team eliminated from postseason play had their own local version of it too. Is everyone nationwide getting this commercial too, with Tommy Lasorta further tormenting Cleveland fans? Just wanted to know. 2002-2006 ALUMNI 2007-2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live near Gettysburg PA and I get TV from Baltimore, Harrisburg and DC and haven't seen the O's,Nat's, Phil's, or Buc's on any of the spots just the Indians and the Cubs.

ColeJ Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 i haven't seen a rangers one...my biggest complaint is that they make DAMN certain, at all times, to avoid saying the word "playoffs"...what's up with that? postseason just sounds weird when you use it as often as religiously as they do in that commercial.

If I'm right, then MLB's playoff games are actually regualr season games, and not part of the postseason, which is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well, it's not as if they're idiots, because it is a black (or navy?) hat with a red wishbone C and a red bill, which the Reds have worn a hell of a lot more recently than the Indians have. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
