BELIEVELAND: Train kept rollin all night long

Train kept rollin' all night long

Today's blog is rather skimpy. Browns are in the off-season, Indians are just in Spring Training (not really much to report), and the Cavs are just down right bad. Plus they only played once since Friday!

How was everybody's weekend?

I hope it was good as one of my friends here at OSU. He forgot his name he was having so much fun!!

Anyway, on to the sports!!!


Over the weekend what did we miss:


Indians:
Indians played the White Sox and won 9-7 on Friday, lost to the Padres 8-11 on Saturday, and lost to the Dodgers 1-5 Sunday. 

They play the Chicago Cubs today @ 3


Cavaliers:
-Cavs only played on Friday since we last spoke. On Friday, they took a loss to the best team in the   league (LA Clippers)
-They played decent (again they did not have PG Kyrie Irving), he will be back today against the -New York Knicks
-Unfortunately, Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller are questionable tonight due to an illness
-Get well soon fealla's


Browns:
- Pro days are starting this week. This is where all the players entering the 2013 NFL draft conduct workouts at their former colleges. This is more important than the NFL combine to scouts and GM's.


Lets get at it:


Your Cleveland Indians:

-->

 The Cleveland Indians continue their topsy-turvy Spring Training. As of today (before their game today with the Chicago Cubs), the Indians are (6-5). This has been a very progressive Spring Training for the Tribe. The most prominent change for the Tribe this young season may be their offensive lineup, but in my opinion it's the pitching. Adding new pitchers such as Daisuke Matsuzaka and Scott Kazmir might just be the best thing that has happened to the Tribe. Kazmir might be the best find this entire MLB offseason. He missed the entire 2012 season due to having "Tommy John" surgery in his left elbow. Manager Terry Francona seems to think he will definitely be in the Tribe's starting rotation this season. If this is the case, and he is back to CY Young form, the Indians will make some noise in the central division this year. Heard it here first.

The Indians are playing the Chicago Cubs right now in Goodyear Arizona

 They are winning 10-2 bottom of the 6th

Roll Tribe.

Your Cleveland Cavaliers:









Bella's looking for the Cavs news!!
 

 Sorry Bella, not much news to report. The Cavs only played Friday and lost to the LA Clippers. They are playing the New York Knicks tonight at the Q. Kyrie Irving will be back in action (which is good because the Knicks are real good) Unfortunately, rookies Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller are questionable due to an illness. Sooner rather than later, the team will be healthy and we can see what next year will look like. They're only going to get better!


All for One. One for All.

Your Cleveland Browns:
Remember it's still the off-season, so news is slow. Free agency doesn't start until April 1st (my 21st birthday). Maybe we all will be celebrating something other than me becoming legal. Lets hope the Browns make some moves and fill some holes in their defense before free agency is over.
Here are a few players the Browns are looking at in our divisions:

-Steelers WR Mike Wallace
-Ravens LB Dannell Ellerbe
- Ravens DE/LB Paul Kruger

The reason I bring these names up is because we can afford ALL of them. Stealing these guys away from our hated rivals would be perfect and leave a sweet taste in our mouths going into training camp

(WR Mike Wallace...he has been called the fastest receiver in the league...umm, oh yeah he'll help)

HERE WE GO BROWNIES HERE WE GO

Remember the first blog post? I told ya to watch the Netflix series "House of Cards". Well 13 hours later, I finished it. Needless to say I am waiting for the second season to come out already! There are so many twists and turns that keep you guessing. Ill say it again, Kevin Spacy does a phenomenal job as playing a congressman from South Carolina. He always has something up his sleeve. Please please please watch it! I need to talk to somebody about it!

Here is a link to an overview >>>>> House of Cards

This is a piece from Forbes.com, read it!



Coming Soon:

-March Madness predictions

BELIEVELAND: And boom goes the dynamite

HAMJAMBO!!!! (that means hello to all in Swahili....yes I take Swahili)

WELCOME BACK

If nobody saw my tweeting...By the way, get on twitter and follow me @ku_ku_ka_chiuch (its a great name I know), but I will be posting BELIEVELAND every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from now on. I can cover every angle of the sports week, and this way you all know when the blog will be posted.

WHAT YOU ALL MISSED

Since the last blog on FEB 26,

Indians:
- Have lost 3 straight (There is the plummet I was talking about)
- Justin Masterson has been named the opening day starter v.s. Toronto on April 3rd
- Chris Perez injured his shoulder and will be sidelined for 3-4 weeks

Cavaliers:
-They have won 2 straight despite not having Kyrie Irving!!!!

(Bella seems to enjoy that)

Browns:
- NFL combine has concluded
-Nothing else really happened....its the off season

Now onto the big news!!!  WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


 Your Cleveland Indians:

The Cleveland Indians have certainly cooled down dramatically since their hot 5-0 start. Unfortuanteley, they have actually lost 3 straight spring training games. This is not exactly the consistency manager Terry Francona is looking for. Nevertheless, it is still very early in spring training, and the players are still getting used to playing with each other. Since the last post the Indians have lost, 1-4 to the Royals, 1-5 to the Mariners, 0-10 to the Rangers. Not much offense as you can see which is not a good sign. The Tribe struggled heavily with their offensive production last year, so lets hope this is not a trend. I will tell you know Terry Francona will not put up with the lack of offense. Our pitching needs all the help it can get.

There has been more and more buzz about the Indians all the way back here in Cleveland, despite the team being in Arizona. Reports have confirmed that the Cleveland Indians organization have lowered almost every price on the concession menu!!!!!! This might just be the greatest news of the entire off season!!!!! Wouldn't you agree? I mean seriously those prices before were ridiculous. Here is a few of the important new prices:

-16 oz. Beer: $4  :-) :-) :-) :-)  WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-Hot Dog: $3
-The Pizza, Broatworst, Pizza, and Pop-corn prices are down 25% according to the organization (whatever that means)

Not to mention there will be 15 games where it will be Sugardale Dollar Dog Night!! 15! That is so many! This will attract more fans than the offseason player acqusitions. Folks, get ready for a great season with your Cleveland Indians.

The Indians play today @ 3:05 v.s. rival Chicago White Sox
Next Games:
Saturday March 2nd v.s. San Diego Padres
Sunday March 3rd v.s. LA Dodgers

Roll Tribe

(Indians Closer Chris Perez will be out 3-4 weeks with strained shoulder)

 Your Cleveland Cavaliers:

Without the play of All-Star guard/my favorite player Kyrie Irving, the Cleveland Cavaliers have managed to win 2 straight games. They beat the Chicago Bulls 101-98, then beating the Toronto Raptors 103-93. Impressive due to the fact Kyrie, their best player has not played. Picking up the slack has been (my favorite 2nd favorite player) Dion Waiters. He has been leading the way for the Cavs posting games of 25 and 23 pts. This is great to see when Kyrie is out. It shows that we know how to win without our best player. Our team is getting better and better. I cannot wait to see these guys when they reach their potential.

Following the win v.s. Toronto rookies Tyler Zeller and Dion Waiters were seen leaving the Cavs facilities with some extra baggage. Cavs coach Byron Scott said it is for "rookie initation"

Lets hope they take good care of them

Cavs play the LA Clippers (a.k.a. lob city) tonight @ 7:30 in Cleveland. Go support em'

All for one. One for all.


Your Cleveland Browns:

Its the off season...not much is happening. Get yourselves ready for April's draft.
