Feeling Worried
Hearing Rev Run
Another Slide?
I can't believe it. Another one-run loss? You've got to be kidding. The Indians were shut out by the Devil Rays for the second time this year last night, 1-0. They have now lost three straight and have fallen three games behind the White Sox in the Central.
Last night's loss proved a couple of things. For one, other than Coco, the Indians don't have a single player on the team that can bunt. They really need that bunt in the eighth inning when they had a runner on second and nobody out. Second, they still have trouble getting hits with runners in scoring position. I still think the Indians need
Another thing, does anybody else notice that everytime a Cleveland team, whether it be the Indians, Cavs or Browns, has a chance to make the playoffs or have a good season, it always ends with either the team going on a slump or someone getting hurt (note: the Cavs in their last two seasons)? It's almost like there's a curse on Cleveland sports; like there's a black cloud hanging over Cleveland that just won't go away; like God doesn't want us to have a winner. I don't know who to blame, the players, the coaches, or both. Sooner or later, we have to have a championship, right? I mean, the last time any Cleveland team had a championship, LBJ (not LeBron) was the President. Ever since then, there was something, or should I say someone, standing in the way. If it wasn't for Michael Jordan, the Cavs might have won a NBA title in the late '80s and early '90s. If it wasn't for John Elway, the Browns could've at least made it to a Super Bowl. And I think the Indians should've rolled over the Marlins in the '97 World Series. But it still remains to be seen when Cleveland will be ridden of this so-called curse. We'll see what the Indians do tonight against Tampa Bay. If Cleveland loses and Chicago wins, then the White Sox clench their division.
