AAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see where we are as Cleveland sports fans:

Indians - The Tribe are no longer even picking up options on players. If the next CBA goes the players' way, look for Dolan to sell. He seems to be a good man and I'm all but certain that he cares, but he's in over his head. Still, I'd rather have him owning the team than someone who had the team contending, but was looking for a new ballpark already or trying to move the team. Dolan is to the 2000s what Mileti was to the 70s (at least in regards to the Tribe).

Browns - This is an absolute train wreck. I would say that it can't get any worse, but this season has taught me to never say never, especially on the downside. The NFLPA is investigating the coach, the GM has been fired after 1/2 of a season, the team barely sold out a MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME!, the road unis now include ugly, stripeless brown pants, and are underdogd to the Detroit Lions. Holmgren may be able to turn this around, but if he can't, I have no idea about the future of football in Cleveland.

Cavaliers - Almost losing to an 8-man Warriors side last night notwithstanding, this is the city's lone major league bright spot. As long as they resign Lebron (and any other team with the cap space are counting on Lebron taking less $ to go to a worse team), the future at the Q looks bright.

Next time, a look at Cleveland minor league sports at the twilight of the 2000s.
