...Romeo seems like a good guy. So it
gives me great pleasure to usher him out in
a form The Bard wrote so well. Romeo Romeo, farewell good sir You managed the clock like a drunken boar. Just last year the Browns were like beasts with fir But, after four and twelve it's out the door....

.......not even the Browns' utter ineptitude will get
me down. Why, you say? How can you keep
your head up following such disappointment? Simply put, it's LeBron season. Nothing can get me down during LeBron season. And, to date, this is the best LeBron season ever.....

I wasn't surprised to watch the Twins take
2 out of 3 from the Tribe over the
weekend. Anytime you face an Indians lineup that features the Humanitarian's Row of Marte (.167), Gutierrez (.213), and Cabrera (.204) in the 7,8,9 holes, you have a good chance of taking the series (and Cabrera's average is inflated due to the hitting tear he's been on over the past few days). Here's what surprised me..

If you think that watching a football practice
is probably one of the most boring things you
can do for a couple of hours, you are so right. I went to Browns training camp in Berea, OH, this afternoon along with a couple of fellow Browns fanatics. We came fired up to see the beloved Brownies getting ready for the upcoming season, and we left bored.... I did get some good pics at least....

...needless to say, Nancy's return to the hardwood
didn't carry the same sentimental value as Norman's leap
back into the limelight, but it did get me to thinking. Maybe we're not witnessing a couple of random moments here, maybe there's a trend starting. If Greg and Nancy can do it in their 50's, others can't be far behind. Here's who we'd like to see prove that 50 is the new 30.

I've been reluctant to admit that Kevin Youkilis
is more than a poor man's Casey Blake for
most of his career. Maybe it's because the boys at the World Wide Leader were always telling us how great he is. Maybe it's because he doesn't look the part of an everyday major leaguer. Maybe it's because the Red Sox shuffle him around from 3rd to 1st to the outfield. Maybe it's because at the plate.....

There's no Tiger in golf this summer. The
Olympics are coming up, but who gives a crap?
I guess it'll be entertaining when it gets here, but not that entertaining. So how's a guy supposed to get his sports fix? If you're in the greater Clevetown area, you can tune into All Bets Are Off with Bruce Drennan. Drennan's show on my new favorite channel, Sports Talk Ohio, provides daily...

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of
watching the Tribe take 2 out of 3 from
the Mariners, and two things jumped out at me. The Mariners are ridiculously bad, and Ichiro is ridiculously good. I never watch any M's games, so I never realized how amazing Ichiro is. Like your average dude that doesn't live on the left coast, I knew he was damn good, but it was an eye-opener seeing him play....

No, not that image problem. There are plenty
of 60 year old white men worrying about that.
I'm talking about something that's actually a serious problem for the NBA, the refs. We bitch about football refs, baseball umps, and hockey refs all the time. Right now, MLB umpires are under fire for a slew of botched home run calls. But, do we ever think that the NFL, MLB, NCAA, or NHL referees/umps....

The ongoing steroids-in-baseball soap opera continues to heap
countless questions for print journalists to write about, while
the talking heads have a field day with endless, useless banter about the subject. You've all heard the questions: Who cheated? What will we do about the records and stats......I have one question I'd like to have answered, who gives a sh**?

Through 7 starts, Cliff Lee is 6-0 with
53 2/3 innings pitched, 44 Ks, 4 walks, and
a 0.67 ERA. He's given up 4 earned runs all season. His stats are so good right now, they sound made up. He is absolutely dominating the American League. So where the heck is this coming from? Who is this guy that's tossing out Koufax-like numbers?

Today's posters lack the delightful cheese factor of
their 80's and 90's predecessors, but when some blogger
whips up a, Classic Turn of the Millennium Posters, blog post from his grandmother's basement in 2020, LeBron dunking over Garnett last night will be featured prominently. By now you've heard about LeBron's dunk last night and seen highlights of it. Just in case you haven't:

Between the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, Olympic hotties,
and the NFL draft, I haven't kept my eye
on baseball stats at all. I was not prepared for the surprises that awaited me when I checked out the AL and NL stats leaders. Yes, I know it is only one month into the season and we shouldn't overreact, but look at some of the names atop the MLB leaderboard. Who are those guys?

How often do sports fans get to chant
something as fun as "Boston Sucks, Boston Sucks!" in
their sportsfan lives? For us folks in Phatlanta, it ain't very often. Granted, the Celtics are more than capable of destroying the Hawks over the course of the next two (and hopefully three) games. But when an 8 seed under .500 backdoors into the playoffs and twice takes down the team with the league's...

I saw that Tampa Bay is tied for
1st in the AL East, and I wanted to
write something nice about them. But then I remembered that changed their names from the Devil Rays to the Rays this year and I just couldn't do it. There are a lot of teams whose nicknames make a lot of sense. Pittsburgh is the steel city, so hence the Steelers. The New York Islanders play on Long Island. Milwaukee is known

Who hasnt't wanted to be a fly on

preperations? Thanks to Clevelandbrowns.com, all of our dreams come true and we are able to go inside the Browns war room. It's probably the most exciting video I've ever seen in my life.

Unfortunately, I was on hand at the "Phone
Booth" tonight to see the Cavs get their asses
handed to them by the Wizards. Maybe it was watching the Cavs run around like the entire team rented a limo and did two shots at every one of the 2 1/2 State Area Clyde's locations before the game, but listening to the Wiz "fans" during the debacle really raised my ire tonight.

If you can't tell, a year plus of
relying on Joe Borowski to close out games for
the beloved Tribe caught up with me this week. The only solace I've found is knowing that I'm not alone. If you're a baseball fan, you've been there. You never feel safe watching any game unless your squad has more than a 3 run lead. Your closer comes in and never gets ahead of hitters. He puts a lot of runners on...

I've seen two Nats games in the new
ballyard and, as earlier reported, I like it. With
the HD Jumbotron, the natural ballpark look, the local cuisine, and the cool batting cage, it's got the accouterments of a great ballpark. It's not quite complete, though. It lacks a certain....feel. The Presidents Race adds charm, but it's now the corporatized Geico Presidents Race, and a blatant rip off of...
