Cleveland is to Detroit as al Qaeda is to the Twin Towers (Indians and Cavs rule!)

i knew you would bring up what i said in the past...well good thing i don't care much for bsaketball. Hockey on the other hand...oh wait, the number one in the NHL Detroit Red Wings were eliminated in the first round...Baseball...oh the Tigers always sucked for 20 years you can never expect anything from...no wait, they are number 1 in the MLB...Detroit was sucked up into its own Twilight Zone. Now all we need is the Detroit Lions to make it to the Superbowl and the end of the world prophecy is complete.

No, the end of the world is near because CLEVELAND is uppity in every sport in 2007! Well, the Browns are a way's off, but they ass-raped the NFL draft so they're on the rise.

On the rise. The Cleveland Cavaliers' motto for this NBA playoffs is: RISE UP!

Lebron James - born and bred in Northeast Ohio - made history last night, shutting up every one of his disgustingly jealous critics with one of the greatest playoffs performances of all time. 48 points. 29 of the last 30 points. Double teamed, triple teamed, it didn't matter. Ownage.

Meanwhile, the Indians took a 4.5 game lead in the American League Central Division tonight with their fifth straight victory in a row against the Detroit Tigers, beating their ace pitcher twice in one week and sending the Tigers' season into a tailspin. Gary Sheffield was so frustrated he threw a broken bat in the direction of an umpire and is awaiting a 3 game suspension. McDyess of the Pistons was so furstrated that he assaulted Anderson "Wild Thing" Varegao with a wicked clothesline foul to his neck and head and was ejected from the game. They're self-destructing!

In the Indians game tonight the Tribe were down 11-7 in the bottom of the 9th and scored 5 runs on Tigers' closer Todd Jones to win it 12-11! A classic! Two classics in a row, in two sports, leaving the city of Detroit reeling, weeping, and humiliated.

Yes, Cleveland is devastating the city of Detroit. We'll knock down their skyscrapers next. We'll burn the whole city to the ground. I saw women crying in the Palace when Lebron took his game to new levels and became the KING of their Palace!

And the Ohio State Buckeyes kicked the Michigan Wolverines' asses.

Fuck you, Michigan.

And, in further news: The New York Yankees have finally gone down the drain! Baseball fans worldwide are rejoicing! The Death Star has been blown up!

Yes, good is prevailing over evil in 2007. A beautiful year so far.

Title of thread seems to be more than a little insensitive. I remember when I was accused by Theo of being "disrespectful to the memories of those that died" because I thought the real story about the towers was more complicated than the official version, and now it's cool to use it as an analogy for a baseball game.

Besides keeping track of what Puddles/W@nkW@nk says for a year? I thought I was bad.

[thewarroom]

Just wait, Sir Theo, until the Tigers' bullpen is healthy. Now I know that all five 9th-inning runs came off of Jones, but if Rodney or Zumaya were healthy, there's no way that Jones is forced to pitch 1 2/3 innings. Zumaya would kick the shit out of anyone that the Injuns could throw on the mound, and Rodney, well, might get an out or two.

I am willing to admit that, right now, the Injuns are playing better ball than the Tigers. BUT, if you were starting Neifi "Waste of Space" Perez, Omar Infante, and Mike Rabelo (?) at key positions, I doubt that you could easily win a ballgame like that one. We'll get you tonite, Durbin has been lights out his last few starts, and Cliff Lee has an ERA near 6. Our run of luck will turn around, and I don't think that Cleveland's bullpen will hold up over the course of the entire season.

As for the Pistons, well, nobody was going to stop LeBron the other night. That was arguably the greatest playoff performance of all time and it was a privilege to watch. My Pistons, meanwhile, are playing as flat as pancakes and deserve to lose. I won't lie. I doubt that they can come close in game 6, but if they can I wouldn't rule out a come-from-behind series win.

OSU beat Michigan in 2006, genius. And I cannot wait until November 17 when the Wolverines take out the Smiths-less, Pittman-less, Ginn-less, and Lifeless Luckeyes. Hart is going to run roughshod all over the Bucks' defense, Henne will hit Manningham all afternoon, and I will laugh the Ohioans out of the stadium (Except for myself, who's from Ohio but whose family is from Ann Arbor).

It really adds credibility to your argument to compare your city to a terrorist organization. It's people like you that give Cleveland the distinction of being The Mistake on The Lake. At least we can agree on the Yanks, I hate those bastards with all my heart.

No, Theo, Fuck Ohio!

[Sir Alec]

Ohio is the most boring state in the USA next to Nebraska.

So I agree, fuck Ohio and the Cavaliers!

Timely and tasteful post. You were about to say, maybe, "mission accomplished"?

[JoyDiv007]

I hope the Cavs win tonight. I'm not big sports fan but this city needs some team to break the curse of Cleveland. The Indians are doing well so far but it's a long season so who knows how they'll end up. As for the Browns well we won't discuss them.

[SNS22]

The idiots who went in the crowd and attacked the fans (was that last year or 2 years ago)...should have been arrested and thrown out of The NBA...

It just goes to show you that our athletes are held to a different standard...

and it's pathetic

I agree completely, those were Indiana Pacers tho, not Pistons. The Pistons went to the crowd in an effort to stop the fighting.

I can only think of one player-fan incident in the UK, and that was the Cantona kung fu kick.

I just remember it was a Pistons-Cavilers game...and I really got pissed that they only suspended the guy for the rest of the season...

Seriously, The NBA and MLB could stop all in game fighting if they were to show any real balls...

In Baseball if ANYONE Gets off the bench and gets on the field...Suspend them for 3-5 Games...the people who actually throw punches...suspend them for 30 days...that "staggering" suspension crap is a bunch of BS...It doesn't teach the players any lessons...if a team had to play a game with only 15-20 avalaible players..they would think damn twice about acting like a bunch of idiots...

Ditto that on the NBA..

[thewarroom]

Actually in the NBA all players that leave the bench get an automatic suspension, how long it is depends on what you do once you leave the bench.

Well MLB should adopt that policy...would the NBA require a team to play with say only 7-8 players? Or do they stagger suspensions too?

When I was younger i used to think it was funny to see all the stupid fights on TV...Then I had to witness a 45 Minute delay in person due to some stupid guy named Todd Greene...thanks a lot buddy

After the Pistons-Pacers brawl the Pacers had to play with just six guys for the next couple of games.

Todd Greene? Don't recall him, but was that a game out in California against the Dodgers by chance?

It was an Angel game..I think Against The Yankees...I can't believe Todd Greene is still in Baseball...

The Chan Ho Park vs. Tim Belcher...yeah that was ridiculous

What made me laugh (as an LA Fan)..is about 15 years ago Darryl Strawberry would come out for every fight and the guy was supposed to be too hurt to play...too hurt to play, but obviously his Doctor ok'ed any and all fights

Haha I've seen video of the Chan Ho Park thing, that is very funny! There's a youtube vid of the 10 Best sports fights, good stuff!

Strawberry's best work was on The Simpsons. What's he up to these days? His son is also very talented.

Have you seen the vid of Robin Ventura fighting Nolan Ryan? Great stuff also.

I think I remember Ryan vs. Robin...Ryan was close to 45 when it happenned right...Nolan was the last great pitcher...Maddux is an artist...when it comes to pitching...but Nolan could bring it...Clemens has made a joke out of his last 5 years

Strawberry is avoiding drugs and prostitutes I believe...I think it was David Justice who got arrested with a prostitute while he was married to Halle Berry...ok, what is up with that man? If you're married to Halle Berry, why are you cheating on her? Then again, didn't her next husband cheat on her too...

I'll stop before I offend people with cheap remarks about Halle Berry's "skills"

[WinkWink]

Theo, you are obsessed with 1) al qaeda and 2) being an obnoxious ass. You probably should seek help, but then again, we all should.

But yes, Pistons seem to be in trouble going out of town and down in the series. Good for Cleveland (but it's still not over). Both teams come from cities in need of something to look forward to.

I can't stand Chris Webber. Do the coaches feel obligated to use him? He's a waste of space...a has been...but i'm sure these days he keeps track of time-outs left in a game.

Theo, if Cleveland wins, try not to come on here acting like an immature frat boy. ok...thanks.

Yeah I think it was 1993 or so. I haven't thought about David Justice in awhile! *runs to check Wikipedia*

He is now a studio analyst for YES' Yankees pre-game shows. I think he was a decent ESPN analyst when he was on a few years back. He is also now married to Rebecca Villalobos (never heard of her) with whom he has a child.

This forum needs a Sports Discussion Thread!

C-Webb was fine during the regular season, but has been beyond shitty in the playoffs. And I haven't forgiven him for taking $$$ from Ed Martin.
