Fuck Yeah, Cleveland!

I’ve been out of school and working, thus a severe lack of updates. I have, however, been keeping up on all things Cleveland sports, promise!

Here’s some news, if you haven’t already heard it:

• The Cavs drafted Duke PG Kyrie Irving at 1 overall, and Texas PF Tristian Thompson at 4th. I approve.
• The Indians recalled their number one prospect, 3B Lonnie Chisenhall, from AAA Columbus yesterday. His debut went smoothly, to put it lightly. Against Arizona, Chisenhall went 2 for 4 with a double and the game winning RBI. Not too shabby.
• BUT… The Tribe have been kinda sucky lately. They’ve fallen one game behind Detroit in the AL Central, but according to MLB sources, GM Chris Antonetti has been burning up the phone lines looking to pick up a big bat in a trade. Good news.
• SHIN SOO CHOO! OH NO! Choo broke his left thumb when he was hit by a pitch in San Francisco. He had surgery today, and is expected to be out 8 to 10 weeks. If we’re still in a pennant race, he’d be back in time for the September push.

I’ll try to update at least once a week! Have a great 4th of July weekend if I don’t post until after!

To recap, the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Mo Williams for Baron Davis and Kyrie Irving. Also, it looks like Dan Gilbert’s son received Al-Farouq Aminu’s glasses from last year’s draft in the deal.

Yeah, so your Cleveland Cavaliers have both the first AND fourth picks in this years NBA Draft.

That was a quick turnaround.

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS DEFEAT MIAMI HEAT 102-90

Despite LBJ’s triple double, the Cavs were able to take down the Heat behind strong performances by Anthony Parker, Ryan Hollins, J.J. Hickson, Baron Davis (who played limited minutes due to injury), and many others.

After a season like this one, the win is something to hang our hats on.

Another note: Opening day is this Friday and yours truly will be there. Tribe fever, catch it.
