My Daily thoughts 4/4/08

Thank God the Cavs didn't play tonight, I can't handle them right now.

The Indians game was pretty fucking awful tonight. This was fundamentally one of the worst games I've seen a team play in awhile. They're plate discipline as a team was absolutely dreadful, and Travis Hafner was just waiving at offspeed pitches for most of the night. Half of this team isn't hitting at all, and I am really nervous about Franklin Gutierrez already. He can't hit righties whatsoever. There were also several defensive stumbles tonight, and one glaring mental error committed by Asdrubal Cabrera. I guess some of this shit can be expected early in the season, but still, I'm really impatient. It seems like Kelly Shoppach has had 25 passed balls the past two games, and I cannot wait for VMart to get back, he is the MVP of this team. Paul Byrd was Paul Byrd, and he is headed for the worst year of his career, his time as a major league pitcher is running out. Hopefully we can start to hit, although we traditionally suck ass offensively in April. I always have to keep telling myself that its the first week of the season and not to worry that much, but I still do. I can't handle losing...ever.

I had an on-phone argument with some random Steelers fan tonight. I am tired of people arguing that their team is better simply because they have a better quarterback. It is such an elementary argument. I guess the Browns still aren't as good as the Steelers because DA isn't as good as Big Ben, despite the fact that most other aspects of the Browns roster are as strong or stronger than Pittsburgh's. He mentioned our D, I mentioned their offensive line and dwindling offensive power. That was about it.

The Tigers lost again. I hate them terribly....but not as much as the Red Sox.
