Post mortem – Brinda’s take

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.

Sunday PD sports page critique

What do you write about on a Sunday when there’s no Browns game, replaced by a Tribe game that I can’t even bear to watch? How about how shitty the PD is? Endless supply of content there!

First of all, memo to sports bloggers. If you wake up on Sunday and look at the PD, and wanna quote and link to the PD in your early Sunday blog posts, you won’t be able to. PD’s stories aren’t online at 9 am Sunday morning…at least not this Sunday. Cleveland.com must be a union shop….either that, or the shittiest website on the planet…I think the latter is more likely.

Second, if the Browns aren’t playing, the Sunday sports section guys must take the weekend off. Their NFL preview column leaves out the teams’ won-loss records. So you look at this big list of game previews, with “The Skinny”, “Grossi’s Picks”, but to get the teams’ won-loss record, you gotta search through the rest of the paper. Nice editing, fellas. How can you tell how important the game is without the won-loss records?

Third….did I mention I love having coffee and reading the sports page on Sundays?

Breaking News – Columnist voluntarily seeks sports agony

In a column entitled Your’e pulling for the Indians–or you suck, some guy has not idea what he’s asking for.

There is, however, respite from this unpleasant and relentlessly repeated tale of two cities gripped by self-involvement, and it is the Cleveland Indians.

Respite? Is he watching any of the last 5 losses in 6 games? Any of Cleveland sports in the last 40 years? You call that respite? Hey buddy…spare yourself the agony.
