Cleveland sports highs and lows

As the title indicates, there were some positives and negatives seen by my beloved Cleveland sports franchises yesterday. Let's get the negative out of the way...the Browns are terrible. I mean, really bad. I don't know how you can spin any positives out of that embarassing loss to the (yuck) Steelers. Of course now you've got a bunch of boneheads who are clamoring for Brady Quinn to begin starting for us. If we have any hope of this kid being a star then they cannot start him for a while. He is going to get murdered out there with the line that we have right now. And this line is supposed to be better than last year's. Ha!

Onto more positive things, I was very pleased to see the Tribe split a 4 game series with the very formidible Angels. Considering that the pitching matchups didn't favor us in this series, getting 2 wins was huge. And we almost took 3 out of 4, but lost a tough one in extra innings. Also against us was one of the worst umpiring crews I've seen in quite some time. Let's hope that quartet isn't assigned in the playoffs. Overall, this team continues its roll toward the playoffs. And while it isn't a given yet (Magic number 14) it's looking more and more likely now. Tonight, they begin a series with Chicago and if all goes well that should be a sweep. October here we come!!

My team simply can't keep it together. I'll also be in the minority to say that the Wild Card is ridiculous. The best teams should face the best teams. We don't need some runner-up prize for a team that finished behind anyone in their division. As such, a team could lose their division and win the world series. What kind of sense does that make?
