Post-Season Blues

On Wednesday the Indians were up three games to one with one more at home...

--The Tribe had not lost three in a row since mid-August
--In the 65 times that there has been a 3-1 lead in a LCS, only 10 times had there been a comeback
--Momentum was on our side, we just needed to win one--ONE LOUSY GAME

Thirty BoSox runs later...

Good Grief!!

Now on top of The Drive (Browns--1987), The Fumble (Browns--1988), The Shot (Cavs--1989), and The Move (Browns--1996), The Bouncer (Indians--1997), comes a new entry: The Collapse.

It has been 10 years since our last trip to the big dance in 1997, and 59 years since we won the Fall Classic--only the Cubbies have waited longer.

On the positive side, we are a young team in ascendency--we should dominate the Central for the next few years. Maybe 60 years of waiting will be it...

For now, I am just left with the four immortal words (sour tasting as they are)...

What?


You think I am talking about

"There's always next year"


No...the four words echoing through Public Square, the Terminal Tower, across E. 9th Street, through the Jake, across the Cuyahoga and above the wide expanse of Lake Erie--

LET KENNY RUN HOME!!!

Dammit!
