The Browns traded Trent Dilfer because he was unhappy with the career path Cleveland had for him and he didn’t see eye to eye with Maurice Carthon. I do agree with trading away a disgruntled player, but Trent wasn’t the only one unhappy with the way Carthon handled the offense last year.

I personally felt that many of his decisions were both questionable and sometimes unexplainable. This year we have the luxury of an inexperienced quarterback in Charlie Frye and the same offense coordinator.

Phil Savage has done a wonderful job of improving the team all around, but the all important quarterback position remains a question mark. I do not feel Charlie Frye is experienced enough to lead our high powered offense to the playoffs. The Browns will either need to run the ball very effectively or find themselves more experience at that position.

The Indians’ offense continued to roll as Jake Westbrook pitched a solid ballgame. The Tribe beat the Mariners 9-4 Friday night as Westbrook got his third win of the season, giving up two runs in six innings. Jason Michaels hit his first home run of the season and had three RBI in the game. Sizemore was the only Tribe hitter without a hit, but managed to have an RBI in the eighth inning.

Starting pitching has no doubt been a problem recently but Wedge was very pleased with the way Westbrook pitched.

“We needed a good outing out of Jake and he gave it to us,” Indians manager Eric Wedge said.

We’ve criticized him for most of the season but the “best shooter in the world” delivered the shot heard round the world Friday night as Damon Jones sinked a jumper to send the Cavaliers to the next round. Cleveland, whose bench outscored Washington’s 57-24, came away with the Game 6 victory as Jones knocked down the game-winning shot from the corner as the Cavs beat the Wizards 114-113 in yet another overtime thriller. Gilbert Arenas finished with 36 points but missed some key free throws down the stretch to give the Cavs a chance to win the game. LeBron may have gotten in Gilbert’s head while he was at the free throw line late in the game.

“I told him if he missed both of those free throws, the game was over,” James said.

And sure enough, LeBron was right. Although it was the most least likely player who came through in the clutch. Damon Jones, who registered less than five seconds in the game, showed incredible poise by coming in at the end of overtime and hitting the big shot. Bring on the Pistons!
