Cleveland: Sports (rated, best, average)

[BelieveInCleve]

Yeah it was pretty nice weather, yesterday was pretty nice too. Its been around 60 for a few days except today. I dont think its snowed for a few weeks, all of our snow around Cleveland melted weeks ago also. The weather is nice now, its pretty sunny most days, and most of the days in the forecast are in the lower and mid 50s. Thats about average though, last year was just weird. The Indians have another game tonight.

[BelieveInCleve]

The Cavs are officially in the playoffs. They got the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference. They will be facing the Washington Wizards on Saturday, April 19th (tomorrow).

If the Cavs play like they should, the Wizards should be no problem for them to beat. We'll just see how it goes. I was thinking a championship for this year, but the way they have been playing, Im not sure anymore. There is no question that they CAN win a championship if they play the way they should have been playing. GO CAVS!!!

Cavs-Wizards series: Cavs-1 Wizards-0

The Cavs won the 1st game.

[dude in a bag]

I love NE Ohio, the people and everything else about it especially the sports. I think Cleveland has the most die-hard sports fans and most fan support even though they had shortcomings when it comes to championships. New York or LA may have all the luck but their fans bases and support doesnt even match that of Cleveland. The thought of having a Lebron James in New York or LA wouldnt even be a big deal in those cities.

[BelieveInCleve]

The Indians arent doing that good so far. Hopefully they will pick up later in the season like they did last year, when they had the best record in the whole MLB (tied with Boston).

[BelieveInCleve]

The Cavs blew out the wizards tonight. 116-86...WOW 30 points!!!

The series is now: Cavs-2 Wizards-0

Those were both home games though, so the Cavs will be playing in D.C. for the next to games and then come back to Cleveland after that, if its necessary.

Also the Indans arent doing too good record-wise but its still early in the season and they will pick up and start doing good shortly, at least Im pretty sure they will. Also, the Indians were ranked the 3rd best team in the league (Dispite their losing record), so thats definitely good news for the Indians. Once CC Sabathia and Carmona start doing good, we should be okay for the rest of the season.

The Tribe will come back around. Sabathia won't keep pitching poorly forever.

The Cavs shouldn't have a problem with the Wizards now that they're up 2-0. That series should be over by next Wednesday (Game Five).

[BelieveInCleve]

Yeah, thats true. I think the Wizards realized that they had a slim chance of winning from the start, thats why their resorting to trying to injure Lebron. They already gave Lebron 3 or 4 hard fouls, the worst being the one yesterday, but too bad for them Lebron is too strong for that weak stuff and hes as good as ever. The Cavs will most likely sweep the Wizards, or win in the 5th game, they have really found a defensive style that can shut down the Wizards like they did yesterday.

We will probably have to play the Celtics in the 2nd round (...), that will be a good matchup, but the Cavs have the ability to beat the Celtics, the Cavs went 2-2 against them in the regular season. In the 3rd round, its too early to tell, but we will probably have to play against the Pistons (if they dont get beat by the 76ers or the Magic). If we make it to the finals, its too early to tell who we will face, the Western Conference has many good teams. But, bottomline is that the Cavs have the ability to beat any team in the NBA, we'll see what happens.

[Clevelander17]

Boston scares me. I think we can beat them, but I'm not sure we will. They seem like they're on a mission.

Sabathia pitched great tonight and the offense put up 15 runs. Hopefully this is the start of a great run for the Tribe.
