I live in KC now where my local Royals experienced a 12 game winning streak in April but sadly still wound up with a better record than my beloved Tribe.Our Chiefs like the Browns are 1-5.Having both my adopted town and my old Hometown both being so miserable in sports is disheartening.But in baseball though I love the game more it’s easier to take.Baseball is as much about the players stories as the game itself.Where in football the only players whose stories we follow are high level skill players.Baseball remain interesting when Alex Gordon scores his 90th run.Or when Billy Butler Drives in his 100th.Or when Shin Soo Choo redeems his season by hitting very well in the 2nd half.Even when guys from other teams do well it adds to the games interest.When RJ Dickey got his 20th win or when Miguel Cabrera clinched the triple crown that was fun to see.Football stat’s have no where near the same meaning.So yeah with Football I stop watching 1-5 teams.But in baseball we can get em tomorrow no matter what happened today.

If 16 NFL games are compared to 162 baseball games in W/L stats, today’s oh-thank-God-finally Browns win makes them 10-50 so far this season. Tell your dear hubby THAT one.

It’s a classic size vs. frequency debate. LOL

As a lifelong fan I would never weigh one more than the other. The Indians were my first love. I stopped watching, yet was happy to attend games (enjoyable, and caught a few wins!)

The die-hard fans are simply optimistic. We continue to believe in our teams.

I don’t want to lose that.
