I'll Say It Again...


Joe Borowski is NOT the answer. First off, I know I haven't posted in awhile, but finals are going on so I have been pretty busy. I had just settled in today to work on a paper and listen to the Tribe on Gameday Audio. The game was going fine, Lee got roughed up a little, but the offense was coming through. I was thinking that to finish this road trip 5-5 wouldn't be all that bad. Then, Borowski came in to "close" the game. I know he has had some good games recently, but when he enters, there is not a feeling that the game is over. Sure enough, he gives up the bomb to Bradley (of all people) and then puts enough runners on base to ensure the loss. I'm sorry, but they have to get someone better or there is no chance of staying with Detroit in the Central or holding onto the Wild Card down the stretch.
Also, it may sound funny to say this about a team up 2-1, but Game Four could very well be a must win for the Cavs. With Detroit up 3-1, the Cavs cannot afford a 7 game series with the Nets which I feel it could be if NJ ties it up tomorrow night.
Back to work.

Welcome

Hello everyone, and welcome to Captain Redbeard's Rants. Hopefully you will find this blog enjoyable as I write about sports in general, but specifically Ohio sports. As a lifelong Cleveland/Ohio State sports fan I have been through a lot. I was living in Colorado during The Drive and The Fumble and I was in Glendale for the Debacle in the Desert. After the 1997 World Series, my friends were not sure if they would see me the next day. Of course, there have been some good moments as well. I was at Game 6 of the '97 ALCS in Baltimore and the 2002 OSU National Championship was fantastic. I'll be posting on all things Cleveland and Ohio State while also commenting on other sports events through the year. I'm also a high school track coach, so I'll probably dive into that as well at times.
