Seven Percenters

The Yankees are in town tonight and through Monday for the only time this season. These Yankees ruin baseball by causing things like the unbalanced schedule and dumb interleague match-ups like the two yearly series between the Tribe and the Reds, who don't have a meaningful rivalry between them, but have had one contrived for them to justify the lucrative Yanks/Mets and Cubs/White Sox series. Why should the rest of us suffer? If those teams want to play each other so much they should make the g*ddam World Series. Because of such injustices wrought upon good baseball fans by the Yankees, their ilk, and their enablers, we think that the Baseball Gods are more likely than not to restore some balance to the universe in favor of Tribe Time tonight. Plus, the big bad Yanks should be haunted by the memory of how the bugs scared them in the playoffs last year while the Lake Erie Warriors gamely pressed on. Amazingly, a whopping 93% of the action on sportsbook.com is on these freaking pansies tonight. We’re happy and proud to join the 7% who will be ca-cawing for the Byrd-man tonight. The pick: Cleveland Indians +124 over New York Yankees.
