While I am waiting for the cookies to bake....

Today was a pretty good day for me...as far as sports. I got to flip back and forth between the Cavs game and the Tribe. The Cavs game was WAY more exciting, tho.

Cavs 100 Wizards 97...that means the Cavs are up in the series 3-1.
YEEEE HAAAAWWWWW! (excuse me) I was SO glad to see Daniel Gibson up on his game.

The Tribe coulda swept the series with the Yankees...coulda shoulda woulda...but didn't. They took the series 2-1...losing to the Yanks 1-0 today. Imagine sitting thru 9 innings and only one run. I likes a little 'citement! And with the high cost of baseball tickets...them boys best be doing some scoring and running! Defense is doing good...the pitching was good...but where's the offense? DANG!

There is something else that happened today to make me wonder...the Browns traded up in the 4th round of the draft...with the Cowboys...traded up TWICE with the Cowboys. Just WHAT did they trade them? It couldn't be that they traded spots. No one...especially the Cowboys are going to trade just out of the kindness of their hearts. Should I be nervous?

EEEEEEKKKKK!!!! How the mighty can fall...so quickly...so hard!

When LeBron has an off night...they ALL stink. They did so GREAT Monday night!!! Then did the total opposite, plus WORSE, Thursday night. And to think, I put off watching Grey's Anatomy for THAT piece of...um...curbside leavings.

*sigh*

At least my Tribe won their game tonight. Surprising! ANd I really do not enjoy reading those 'rumors' about Bonds and the Tribe. I'd rather the Tribe sit in last place.

I am STILL looking forward to football season.

The Cleveland Indians have disappointed me so far this season. They are off to a dismal start and I don't see any signs of it getting better. Even my beloved Pronk is mediocre are his BEST. sigh. So much for MY baseball season.

NOW...the Cavs. Saturday's game against the Wizards was good. Nothing like making it close and keeping my biting my nails (and I HATE biting my nails). But tonight's game was UNBELIEVABLE! Left them Wizards in the dust! LeBron did some good moves, as always. Someone must have really ticked him off! Then there was the "you can't see me" 3-pointer by Damon Jones...and the OOPS! shot by my guy Sideshow Bob (aka Anderson Varejao). Boobie landed a good one. Surprisingly Gentle Ben Wallace made some free throws. (you and Shaq...you CAN get better!). And just what the HECK was the purposeful trip move by Arenas on West? Are you in kindergarten Gilbert? Sheesh!

One more game to put the Wizards away for another year guys. Let's sweep it. I am sorry I doubted that you guys could pull it together for the series. But, you can't blame me! You haven't exactly been giving me a REASON to believe this season. Glad you all could pull it together. Now just KEEP it together...k?

Almost time for the NBA playoffs. The Cavaliers have clinched a playoff spot. Can they wring some magic out of it? They proved last night that they have the stuff to win even without LeBron running the floor. Andy Varejao has really come a long way and proved that he deserved that contract. I always thought he did. I like what he adds to the team. Z has been on fire this whole season...compared to 2 years ago when I was totally, totally NOT a fan of his...he was dragging. NOW he looks like he still wants to play.

Wally S. is doing the team good. Ben Wallace needs to get well. If we are going into playoffs, we need the team firing on all pistons (no pun intended). The WHOLE team.

*******************************************************

I hope my Cleveland Indians can pull some fire out of themselves this year. I think baseball players and basketball players have it SO much worse than football players! Look at ALL the games they have to play...back to back! Football players only have to play an actual game once a week!

The Tribe has come hot out of the gate...even given the frigid temps. Sizemore gets better every year and I am happy to see Carmona has improved also. Cabrera was good last year but his abilities waxed and waned. Hopefully he can hold more consistancy this year. I would REALLY like to see more from Hafner this year. Not that he is my favorite player or anything. Just becuz my brother is constantly told that he looks just like the guy (and my brother plays ball really well himself...even though he just turned 40).

I won't be paying TOO much attention to the NFL draft this year...especially since the Browns have had their draft already. Lots of trading and signing of veteran players. They have had enuff time to build the team back up with rookies. Now it is time to plug the holes with guys that KNOW the game and can hit the ground running (again...no pun intended). Romeo is doing just what the team needs done. As a die hard Browns fan, I can say that with the team the Browns have NOW, they had better be making it into the playoffs if not all the way to the Superbowl this year. We have been very long suffering fans.
