I don't know if i was more worried than I would be if I hadn't witnessed the drive and all that crap during my formidable years...but it seems likely. The "Cleveland Complex" is real and there is only one way to destroy it.Baltimoranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224994781147499885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-16260766368198986032008-03-28T16:52:00.000-04:002008-03-28T16:52:00.000-04:00the CC article is a must read.

So, instead of 3-1,it was when the Tribe went down 3-2 heading to Boston.<BR/><BR/>No question I was thinking that we had the series won prior to Game 5, pounding oil cans of Miller Lite at Local Heroes, but that inferiority complex came flying to the forefront about the time that J.D. Drew swung his bat in the 1st inning of Game 6. <BR/><BR/>I'd be shocked if anyone wasn't feeling the same thing when the series left Cleveland without an ALCS clinch...that we had let a golden opportunity pass us by. <BR/>Obviously, I held out hope all the way to Skinner (and probably to the very end), but the acids starting flying in my stomach and the first real thought that the Indians could lose the series came walking out of the Jake after Game 5.<BR/><BR/>Cy, you need some baseball to watch...maybe that will get you off my back.Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-8930671942590282542008-03-28T12:41:00.000-04:002008-03-28T12:41:00.000-04:00"Being from Cleveland, it was almost a matter of j..."Being from Cleveland, it was almost a matter of just waiting for that other shoe to drop when the Tribe went up 3-1 in the ALCS." Our Fearful Leader at <A HREF="http://soxmachine.com/blogs/soxmachine/archive/2008/03/28/12187.aspx" REL="nofollow">soxmachine.com</A><BR/><BR/>You should be embarrassed....no ashamed. Are you trotting out your "Cleveland Complex" as an endearing trait to the enemy? Playing up to the media's view of Cleveland? What? Please explain, I'm interested in knowing. If I remember correctly, you and I, and a number of others spent a number of Miller Lites across the street from the Jake before game 5 (up 3-1) discussing where we were going to celebrate WHEN we won.<BR/><BR/>Take your Cleveland complex and shove it up your ass. If you really believed that, you were faking it to us. And if you didn't, then why trot out that tired ass stance? I had faith up until Skinner happened. And if you didn't, I don't even know what to say besides...I'm sorry to hear that. Good day to you, sir.<BR/><BR/>PS I am serious.Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-46897091944249459432008-03-28T08:39:00.000-04:002008-03-28T08:39:00.000-04:00VW,Fixed.March Madness has taken a toll on my brai...VW,<BR/>Fixed.<BR/>March Madness has taken a toll on my brain.Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-89401242616676221802008-03-28T01:22:00.000-04:002008-03-28T01:22:00.000-04:00To update one answer:Jerry Owens is starting the s...To update one answer:<BR/><BR/>Jerry Owens is starting the season on the DL, so Swisher will be seeing a lot of time in center starting off. I'm guessing that means Carlos Quentin will play left, and Brian Anderson will be a defensive-replacement type in center.<BR/><BR/>It's entirely possible that Anderson could play left, but that'd be a waste of his one major-league tool.Sox Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683329270616031778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-37407213755911728612008-03-27T23:47:00.000-04:002008-03-27T23:47:00.000-04:00Good stuff as always.
