The Ministry of Minor PerfidyWell how about that?
It is a good day to be a Cleveland Sports fan. I have proof. Cleveland is often slighted by the national sports press - most recently, ESPN devoted nine minutes to analysing the aftermath of the Yankee’s defeat in the first playoff series and mentioned the Indians not once. Granted, the possible demise of Joe Torre’s storied career is significant. But really. The Yankees lost, the Indians won.
Between episodes like that, and the constant pain of watching highlight reals where, seven times out of ten, the victims of the highlighted star is a Cleveland team, it gets kind of annoying. Even when Cleveland teams do well, we still get ignored.
Yet, today was a good day. Looking at my Google News page, I scrolled down to the sports section, and look at this:
All three of the featured stories are about my teams. (Counting OSU as a Cleveland team, which is fair, I believe.) I’ve never seen anything like it before, and unless the NBA moves its opening day back to October - which is not totally implausible, given that their post season stretches into July - will never be topped.
Despite living more than a year quite contentedly without cable, I have summoned the cable minions to my home, because I think, hope, that I will have cause to watch the World Series this year. I may even buy a bigger tv.
[Wik] I will note, however, that they still couldn’t bear to put up a picture of someone in a Browns uniform.
