Yet another way to waste your (and my) time - Welcome!
I guess this is a welcome letter more to myself than anyone else. I've toyed with the idea of creating blog but was never quite sure if I was self-centered enough to start one. Well, as it turns out, I decided that I do indeed possess the minimum amount of insecurity required to justify this means of sharing my thoughts with you. Isn't that a relief?
I suppose my initial plan for this blog to focus on the wonderful world of sports (or 'sport' - singular yet inclusively plural - as the British would say) as I wax poetic about life as a displaced Cleveland sports fan. I also suppose that by immediately announcing my loyalty to Cleveland that I've probably just lost 97% of my potential readership, but that's all right...Yankees and Steelers fans aren't welcome anyway! Yeah, take that!
Okay, I relent, as I actually encourage lurkers of all persuations; so if you're from Pittsburgh or the Big Apple, feel free to stick around.
All right. Welcome. You just wasted a few seconds of your life reading this, but that's your problem. I mean, it's a blog for godsake.
Go Browns!
Matt

i don't know if i trust pedro on 4 day's rest against the yanks, but i agree with you that this should be his going-out-in-a-blaze-of-glory time to shine. i hope he doesn't choke and i hope mussina isn't awesome again because i hate him. it will only be cool if mussina's awesome again like he was against the indians in game 5 of the 1997 ALCS when he struck out 16 and we still won 2-1 on that lenny harris passed ball when omar vizquel missed the suicide squeeze bunt. that was awesome. and i think nagy got 6 double plays in 7 innings too. i turned the game off last night right after mueller tied the game because i didn't want to jinx things either. i'm tempted to watch today but i might not be able to leave work so i may not have the option. crap.
and the thing with the browns is i realized i think they have the hardest schedule in football, which is completely unfair because they were 5-11 last year. with the exception of cincinnati yesterday, all their opponents have had top 10 defeneses, and now 5 of their next 6 games are against philadelphia, baltimore, pittsburgh, jets, and new england! i think those teams are a combined 22-4 or 23-3!!! that's absurd and totally not fair. so i'm pissed. stupid hardest schedule ever!
