Cleveland Indians Motivational Posters

February 10, 2011 By 28 Comments

It may be a bit on the hack side, but you can’t help the thoughts that enter your brain.  This morning as I was swimming, I thought about the parodied motivational posters that they do at despair.com and for whatever reason, I started thinking of Cleveland Indians players.  So, I got started, asked the rest of the WFNY team for some help and these are what we came up with.  Scott and DP collaborated beautifully on the Platoon one, so make sure you give them “attaboys” for that one.

Remember.  We kid the Indians because we love them and hope to love them even more.

Carlos Santana

Trot Nixon

Andy Marte

Masa Kobayashi

Jeremy Sowers

Dellucci and Michaels

Jhonny Peralta

And if you want to make your own, go ahead and click here. If you are going to share them with us though, make sure you keep it clean.

    hilarious.

    Pronk’s is one of the best above, but I still think the donkey portion of his name needs to be worked in somehow.

    something like: if your project starts with a donkey, then don’t be surprised when you get kicked in the nuts.

    great stuff Craig…always love demotivational posters…

    @#5 mgbode – well said. I would have also accepted, “If your project starts with giving a lot of money to a donkey, don’t be surprised when you look like an ass.” You were my inspiration, I just wordsmith-ed a bit.

    And thank you for the reminder that even though it’s 10 below, baseball is right around the corner.

    Nice work. The “Platoon” reference was fantastic.

    Low-hanging fruit is always the easiest to get.

    I think I’m in love the the Peralta one – like, I might propose to it.

  • Garry Owen

    Okay, one more, then I have to get back to “work.”

  • mgbode

    @vagabond – since these are demotivational posters, can I be your uninspiration?

    (and yes, your wordplay was better. well done on the wordsmith)

  • REEPJP

    @17…..Insanity is how many fans are actually in the stands in that picture…..that must have taken forever to photoshop them all in!

  • MrCleaveland

    My take as a season ticket holder, especially since I’m the one in the photo (and I’ve got the scar to prove it).
