Same old, Same old

Another year, same crappy Ohio sports teams...

The Tribe just got swept by the Yankees. No surprise there, except that the Yankees started 3 pitchers with a combined 8 games of major league experience, or something like that. Newly-signed $33 million dollar man Jake Westbrook was chased after 1.1 IP in the first game, against a guy making his major league debut! Sowers, our own young gun, wasn't much better. The Tribe starter finally did his job today, leading the club to a 6-2 lead going into the 9th. In steps new "closer" Joe Borowski, who I believe has given up at least one run in every outing so far this year, to give up 6 runs in the 9th. Worst of all, pukey A-Rod had to do us in! Now at 6-6, and sinking fast. Oh no, we suck again!

Speaking of suck, that brings me to the Columbus Crew. At least they scored today - a first for this season. They drew with the Revolution 2-2, on a late goal by Kamara (thinks to Frankie Hejduk, who absolutely owned the right side of the pitch tonight). The sad thing is, the Crew totally outplayed New England in the first half, yet gave up two fluky goals (what a surprise) and went into half-time down 2-1. On top of that, our new big-time scoring forward, Andy Herron, cheap-shotted Heap with an elbow to the melon that will surely be reviewed by the league office. Great. Way to make an impression on the hometown fans. At least I have a new whipping boy for this year.

The only things left to happen are for the Cavs to go down to the Wizards in round one of the playoffs, and for the Browns to draft a Michigan puke like Alan Branch or the vastly overrated Brady Quinn.

Well, at least I'm in my comfort zone...
