So every single local TV newscast had a segment on Cavs media day, complete with Lebron and Drew Gooden comiserating with the Indians….it was 6 months ago that the Cavs missed the playoffs on the last day of the season, too. Good stuff.

Only one problem…as of 8.45 pm, I can’t find a single thing about Cavs Media Day on the internet. Not one of the local news stations has any coverage of it online. Nothing on WTAM’s site, nothing at WKNR, nothing at ESPN, not even one iota at the Cavs’ official site. I’m sure I’ll be able to blog on a PD article tomorrow, but wow…nothing at all online the day of the event? Wow. I thought professional sports teams were more media savvy than that.

I’m now writing a post or two a day over at our sister site, The Scores Report. Today, I slam NFL refs, and talk a bit about college football. Add it to your favorite list…unless, of course, you don’t like me.

The Browns told these four guys to not let the door hit them in the ass on the way out. But ESPN’s John Clayton writes that in Denver, early signs look very good.

The Broncos are a better defense with the additions of Gerard Warren, Courtney Brown, Ebenezer Ekuban and Michael Myers. In Cleveland, they might have been the Mistakes by the Lake. In Denver, the sky is the limit.

A change of scenery is sometimes all it takes, right?

Good story…

Now that the final Indians baserunner has been stranded until spring training, Cleveland sports fans are free to turn their attention to Romeo Crennel and the Browns. The lesson: No matter how grim things seem, they can always get worse.

Indeed.

I hate to be accused of piling on a young player, but Grady Sizemore simply tanked after he dropped that ball in KC. In the 6 games since he single-handedly lost that KC game, he went 4 for 28. That’s .140. He only walked twice in that period and struck out 7 times in those 6 games, including 3 times in the first White Sox game. That’s your leadoff hitter in the most important week of the entire season.

All that talk of how he’d get over it, how it was just one play…we all know that was bullshit. The entire city of Cleveland knew that dropped ball meant WAY more than just an error. It tapped into the very essence of what it means to be a Cleveland sports fan, crossed time and space, opened that worm hole in the cosmos which channels every cursed Cleveland blow up in our sports history, and unleashed every hex that could ever be unleashed on a team. Grady never had a chance. Grady didn’t know it then. He knows it now.

There is a sports God. And he hates us.

This morning, Greg Brinda is hot. His main line?

“They wasted the greatest pitching I’ve seen in 50 years.”

Or another version of that…

“They wasted the best pitching you will ever see in your lifetime.”

I’d have to agree with that. We may never see this year’s level of pitching in Cleveland ever again.
