What else could possibly go wrong in 2009 on Lake Erie?
C.C. Sabathia and the Indians stumble out of the gates in the ultra-competitive AL Central and quickly lose any playoff hopes. Cliff Lee puts together a Cy Young year but a inconsistent C.C. is shipped out with a massive payday looming in the offseason. Then he proceeds to put up ultra-Cy Young numbers in Milwaukee, willing the Brewers into the postseason.
The Browns expect big things coming off a 10-6 season (7-1) at home. They are on national TV six times (3 MNF, 1 Thursday Night, 2 Sunday Night). But now, with five weeks left, head coach Romeo Crennel and GM Phil Savage may be lame ducks. Cleveland is 2-2 on national TV and have handed the World Champion Giants their only loss. Hell, they're undefeated (2-0) on Monday Night. But they are 4-7 overall and reeling. If it's not the defense (three straight games blowing leads of two touchdowns), it's the offense (losing 16-6 at home to the lowly Texans.
Oh, and the snow is coming down in record amounts.
Thank God for the Cavaliers. They are in first place in their division and Lebron is leading the league in scoring. But even the golden child is not immune. The power-playing New York Knicks have already begun clearing space to add Lebron in the summer of 2010. That gives the Cavs less than two years to win a championship that the city so desperately wants, no...that it so desperately needs.
The most inept city in the history of sports is about to add to its own legacy of failure and near-misses. "Lebron Was Here"
