Just WHY do I hang on to it? It is a problem I have with most things in my life...I don't set limits. Letting go of a bad situation is a mystery. When it comes to bad situations in everyday life, if you don't let go, ppl think you are weak. However, in sports, if you DO let go of a bad situation ppl think you are weak...you are not a loyal fan.

Watching the Browns during the pre-season game Saturday night...I am not expecting much...A-gain. Kansas City has a weak ass front line and yet, the Browns barely squeaked past them. If it hadn't been for a last minute fumble recovery, the Browns would have been on the losing end. sigh. I know the crowd was calling for Quinn to take the field, but I was not. I was never happy with picking that egotistical punk in the first place. He hasn't done anything to change my mind, either. His head is so big I'm surprised they found a helmet that would fit. I do not expect him to live up to ANY of the hype or his OWN expectations. It would be great if this was one of those times when I have terribly misjudged someone. But, I doubt that it is.

As for the Tribe...come ON! You guys do this every freakin' year...start out looking good...then stall. It shouldn't be this close of a race with the Tigers. Why are you strugglin' so much? You have a load of great players...on paper. And just what the heck happened to my Pronk? You have been sub-par most of the season. Try some liquid vitamins or something. Perhaps that concusion last season did something to your motor skills and no one has figured that out yet. Do I need to come over there with a blow torch and light a fire under all of ya's? Pop, pop...fizzle fizzle.

It is still a tight fight for the top of the AL Central. We are one game behind Detroit but have the chance to tie that up tonight...can the Tribe pull it out? They still have not found cohesion. They have never found their rhythm. Too erratic. Like all Cleveland sports teams.

No consistency. The ones that came out of the box heading for greatness have fizzled and died like...well...bad fireworks.

The Tribe has headed into a 4 game series at home against the Red Sox. This might NOT have been too much of a problem, with the Sox having not much better of a record than the Tribe...except...

The Red Sox have been on a winning streak. A real good one. AND Sabathia, our best pitcher, has been doing nothing better than squat since the all star break.

The Tribe lost the first game in the series. Tonight MIGHT have been a good one if Sabathia was where he was before the break.

Our only save is if the Tigers continue to lose. I really dislike Detroit.

Yes! I am ready for some football!!!
