Salty Saturday

The weather has been beautiful this week and we’re still salty. The curse of Chief Wahoo is really wrecking sh*t these days.

The Tribe is now 5-9 after dropping two straight to Boston in the ninth inning. Oh, by the way, hope you didn’t want to see Boston play in Cleveland any more this season, because after that two game series this week, they won’t be back 2009. That’s right. Our old American League rival, and last year’s opponent in the ALCS only plays in Cleveland twice this season, in April. The outdoor temperature in these games ranged from between 25 and 50 degrees. The San Diego Padres play more games in Cleveland this year than the Red Sox do. So FOX can make more money on Red Sox/Yankees and Yankees/Mets? Retarded. Oh, and hope you’re not busy next weekend if you wanted to catch the Yankees this year. They won’t be back until next season either. Retarded. Just like our retarded muscle-bound closer who finally figured out that his triceps hurt after Manny took him deep in the ninth on Monday. You pitch baseballs for a living. You are wrecking your bones, joints, and ligaments by lifting weights and that is why you can’t throw. Dummy. We will ask again. Who the f*ck is training these guys?

On to the Cavs, who are in even worse shape, as they head into a postseason that has disaster written all over it. The options appear to be twofold: First there is the potential epic embarrassment of going down to the Wizards who will be bloodthirsty for revenge after being bounced from the playoffs by Cavs in each of the last two seasons. With LeBron’s bad back, the Wizards’ chances are better than ever. The thought of Deshawn “Soulja Boy” Stevenson getting over on the King makes us cringe. What’s worse is that LeBron is likely to do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening, and is liable to cause serious long term damage in the process. We said before LeBron’s back injury surfaced, that his duck-toed gait was a recipe for future long term back problems. These back issues are likely much more serious than LeBron realizes.

And the Browns have three Monday night games next season. This is bullsh*t. Football is for Sundays. Monday nights are for sleeping. Sometimes the Monday night games last until 1am. That f*cks up the whole week. And the Monday night announcers suck.

Finally, and worst of all, it looks like the Curse of Wahoo has spread to New York, probably due to our affiliation with Shea Hey. Has anything sadder than this happened at a ballpark recently? Ever? F*ck.

We’re going to the game tonight so we'll make a pick. Since Sabathia is pitching tonight, we’re taking the over. 87% of the bettors at Sportsbook.com like the under. These dummies obviously don’t understand what a mess big CC is this year. We do. The pick: Indians and Tigers OVER 9.5.


Also, if you think we care that it's not Saturday you are dumber than Borowski.

I'll tread lightly here, but I just read an article about Ellsbury's offseason workout regimen for this year, knowing he was going to be a full-timer: was much heavier on yoga and stretching than on lifting. Definitely some weights, but the full package.

Raf Betancourt is a better pitcher in every way, steroids and couple homers this year notwithstanding.

Lawry's? Maybe Morton's? How about Diamond? Or Crystal Kosher? Pal, better be careful, all this salt might give you iodine poisoning.

I'd love to see a comparative study on early season injury rates of teams that play in cold weather vs. their sunny counterparts.

I am posting live from NYC. Good to see you getting a good post in. I like your spirit in this one sir. We got some drinks in tonight with some Giants stiffs and they had huge ass Super Bowl rings on. Fuck those stiffs for not rolling with any hot girls though. RIP McSorleys. Fuck the CC for being a fat bitch who should have accepted 20mil per year to choke when we need him the most and the Cavs will kill the Wizards. If you don't know, now you know!!!!

The Cavs have managed to pull it together for the playoffs over the past couple of years. I hope they can do it again. A couple 40+ games for Lebron seems to wake the team up.
