Live LeBlogging - CLE Sports

ok folks..tonight I believe I am about to go where no blogger has gone before.  I am aware that some people will not be able to watch the Cavs and Indians game tonight so I am going to attempt to help them out by livebloggin both games at once.  I know people liveblog one sport, but two different sports..wow that means I am not only hardcore, but really nerdy. 

Anyways..I have many TV's so both games will be on at once.  First pitch of the Tribe game is at 7:05 and the Cavs tipoff is at 8:00 on ESPiN.   See you later..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And away we go..

7:05 - First pitch is popped out by Ichiro.  Bag of Fritos opened and beer cracked. 

7:07 - Ok then..after a few quick hits, Seattle puts on one the board.  This is the first time the Tribe has trailed since April 5. 

7:08 - Byrd luckily catches a line drive from Beltre and the announcers make very cheesy comments how it almost took his head off..yadda, yadda.  On to bottom of the first.

7:09 - I just pulled out a brown frito.  While curious I decide to try it only to discover it's completely burnt and tastes terrible. 

7:16 - Sizemore battles a lot of pitches but flies out.  Michaels also takes a lot of pitches and walks.

7:20 - Jhonny hits for the 8th consecutive game.  Runners now on 1nd and 2nd.  Also a nice flashback to his HR last night.  Just opened up a piece of mail for a free boat.  Pronk is up.  Also, I decided to pass on the boat. 

7:23 - oh my goodness.  Michaels get's caught between 2nd and 3rd and thrown out.  so obviously..Jhonny decides to try and get to second so he is trapped and thrown out.  Worst double play ever.  Pronk is left with a full count at the plate.  Please note this play was prefaced by a homoerotic comment by Mike Hegan about Mike Hargrove's weight loss. 

7:29 - after 2 routine outs, Jeremy Reed gets a triple off the wall.  NBA Pregame just came on and they are alreaydtalking about Bron for MVP.  Steven A Smith is such an idiot. 

7:32 - I just spilled my beer on my laptop.  Man.. This live blogging thing is harder than I thought. 

7:38 - laptop is now dry.  whew..  so recap - pronk walked.  Victor hits into fielders choice (hafner out at 2nd) and Ben Broussard singles up the middle.  2 men now on.  Belliard gets beaned and bases are loaded.  Victor is thrown out at home after fielders choice by Boone. 

7:40 - wild pitch!!  Broussard comes around to score.  score is 1-1

7:42 - Blake gets a single up the middle and scores Belliard & Boone.  3-1 Tribe!  A doc on Bron is comin on soon.

7:47 - after grady walks, michaels grounds into a fielder's choice.  Bron highlights from this season are on..he is nuts.

7:50 - oh man.  they are showing Bron eating the Chicken Finger platter from the concession stand as his pre-game meal.  Yes, the same meal you and I eat and it's 15 mins before gametime.  LeAwesome.  Steven A Smith says he is now not mature enough to win the MVP.  I hate ESPiN. 

7:52 - Ichiro and Javy Lopez walk.  Raul Ibanez singles up the middle and scores Ichiro.  3-2 Tribe.  Steven A Douchebag just makes fun of Sasha. 

7:58 - Byrd gets a K.  then follows it up with another K.  Oh yea..ESPiN anchors are hyping up this game like crazy.  

8:03 - Holy crap.  After Everett walks, Kenji smacks one deep and drives in 3.  Son of a.  it's now 5-3 Seattle.  on a good note, Z is lookin good with a full beard.  Steven A now says it will be a good game and Greg Anthony holds him to it.  I hate the world. 

8:06 - ok inning over after a scarily deep fly ball.  thank goodness.  ok Cavs tipoff.  here we go..

8:08 - I know I am the only one, but I do like Bill Walton.  He is jockin the Cavs too.  Detroit gets a bucket followed by misses from Snow, Ben Wallace, and Z.  2-0 Pistons. 

8:10 - Pronk destroys a ball but its foul. Rip Hamilton gets the worst assist of all time.  Bron gets striped and Pistons score.  6-0 Pistons..doh.  Pronk flies out and Drew Gooden hits a shot.  Ok now this is gettin nuts. 

8:11 - Bron makes a sick drive to the hoop for 2.  Here comes the AK Assassin love by the announcers.  Sheed is embaressing Gooden.  Victor flies out to end the inning. 

8:12 - Flip with a missed shot and Z with the tip in.  OH My goodness.  Breakaway from Bron..insane dunk.  leblog screams.

8:13 - Z gets a tip in to fall after 3 tries from Goooden and himself.  Flip Murray loses the ball on the next possession.  Repeat of Bron dunk is insane.  Walton says the guys in Berkley at PIxar couldnt create a more beautiful dunk. oh geez..now he is talkin about his visit to Pixar studios with Mickey Hart (of the Dead).  Tirico quickly shut him up and laughs about it.  Gooden scores.  Ichiro up..and I am going nuts. 

8:16 - Ichiro with a solid hit. man is he good.  Z hits 2 free throw.  Cavs up 14-12. Flip misses a smooth move to the rim.  Ben Wallace scores on the other end.  Ichiro steals. Billips wants Bron to go left so he does and passes it. Missed shot by Gooden. 

8:18 - the game is very fast paced.  Walton actually just made a comment about the flow.  Raul Ibanez rips a ball down the line for a triple.  Ichiro scores and it's 6-3.  Byrd is done. 

8:21 - Bron misses a very long three.  Walton is like a little kid.  Indians are out of the inning as Graves is in to pitch. 

8:24 - Walton basically says Snow is worthless.  Bron makes a strong move to the hoop and gets fouled.  Indians are coming up to bat.  Grabbing food really quick. 

8:26 - technical difficulties during the Indians broadcast.  Bron makes both free throws.  After a Detroit miss, Bron makes an insane drive through half the team. 3 poitn play.  Walton just said he made Detroit look like a CYO team.  19-17 Cavs

8:29 - Hughes makes a shot and Rock City answers.  Bron drives agin but no good.  we arent getting offensive rebounds.  Pistons score again.  23-19 Pistons. damn and Bron just threw it away.

8:32 - Cavs all of a sudden playing poorly and Detroit scores again for a 11-0 run.  Damn it.  And Indians game is still having technical difficulties.  Damn package

8:34 - so i just checked ESPiN for updates.  Broussard and Belliard singled. Blake gets another single and we bring one home.  6-4 Seattle.

8:36 - Sizemore singled and scores Belliard.  6-5 baby!.  Another replay of Bron's dunk.  So nuts.  Bron avoids a backcourt violation and drives left (after Chauncy keeps temptin him) and scores. 

8:38 - Hughes shot scares me..i hate those line drives.  After Michaels walks, Jhonny strikes out to end the inning.  And Donyell just nailed a 3.  Tribe down 1 and Cavs down 8. 

8:40 - Donyell needs to shoot something besides a 3 pointer.  Timeout Cavs and inning change for tribe. break time..

8:42 - Top of the 5th for Seattle as Graves is still pitching. Anderson just gets hammered and will go to the line.  And Walton is talking about life and how to balance it all.  Beltre singled.

8:45 - Pistons make the lead 10 points.  Damon misses a three.  Flip and Larry blow short shots.  And there are 0 zero points from our back-court.  that's not good. 

8:48 - Beltre stole second and Kenji walked. I am exposed to this awful VW commercial for the 3rd time where kids get in a real crash..it's not cool.

8:50 - Indians get out of the inning.  LeBron is still sitting and the Cavs are sucking.  Gil Meche is pulled in bottom of the 5th.

8:51 - woh.  Anderson goes after Rasheed.  Hmm..yea this was definetely a harsh fould by the Brazilian.  No foul but Cavs are down 14.  Holy crap..Anderson ejected.  Son of a bitch. Rasheed has this awful smirk.  Man i hate Detroit and the state of Michigan. 

8:53 - Cavs are playing awful and I am debating on how much longer I shoudl do this.  Pronk grounds out.  Victor flies out and Broussard strikes out looking.

8:58 - thx to Walton I just found out Rasheed has 244 technicals in the past decade.  Also, Since LeBron sat, the Cavs have NO points. 4 mins..no points.  uhh..

9:01 - did i just witness a point by the Cavs.  and by who, but Bron.  This game is awful, but the Tribe are still in it.  Tribe down 6-5.  ok this Cavs game is sad.  Tribe game going to main TV as I hear "Who Let the Dogs Out" to take me away. 

9:03 - ok now I am pissed. After a few singles andintential walk to Ibanez, former Indian Richie Sexson justhit a Grand Salami.  Seattle is up 10-5.  Cavs are down 20.  Awful..

9:06 - Cavs almost down 30.  Bron isnt playing too hot.  Indians broadcast is going in and out.  Hmm..well at least it's a wed night. 

9:09 - Cavs cut it to 25 and Z just missed an easy shot.  Indians go down 1-2-3.  Wow..well it's halftime in Detroit with the Pistons up 27.  I am not listening to ESPiN at the half.  Ok i am grabbin more food.

9:15 - Davis is now pitchin for the Tribe in the 7th.  He strikes out Kenji with a mean slider.  Reed grounds out and two outs for the Tribe. 

9:17 - Benecourt grounds out and inning over.  7th inning stretch.  Blogging one sport is much easier.

9:20 - Sizemore gounds out and I just noticed an OSU sweatshirt in the audience.  Something fishy is going on with the ball..stay tuned.

9:23 - Ichiro is good.  Makes a great running catch on a ball hit by Michaels.  Jhonny slams a hit to LF.  another multi-hit game.  Pront steps to the plate. Come on guys..

9:25 - HELL YES!  Pronk slams one deep and high to right.  Whew..good news.  Go Tribe!  10-7 now. 

9:27 - Still talkin about Hafner..he is damn good.  6 homers in the past 6 games.  3rd quarter about to begin in Rock City.  Victor walks...

9:29 - so the Pistons are on a 40-10 run.  that's pathetic.  Benny B grounds out to end the 7th. 

9:33 - Sheed is so cocky.  I hate the Pistons and just remembered how much I used to hate Laimbeer and company.  Bron just threw a sloppy pass to Z who lost it.  this is sad.  Ichiro slams another hit.  Hit to the right this time. 

9:35 - I feel as though the Cavs have really stopped trying.  Our defense is not there.  Oh man..they have switched the game.  Ok I guess the producers agree it's that bad.  Ok then...so Tribe.  Davis just made a kick save. Damn that was smooth.  Ichiro to 3rd with 2 outs. 

9:37 - The game they just switched it too is awful too.  Now we are watching the Wizards/Bucks game.  Wow..and Raul Ibanez just slammed a single down the line to score Ichiro.  11-7 Mariners. 

9:39 - Inning over and Tribe is coming up.  Also, I have no idea what is going on with the Cavs now.  

9:42 - ok the Cavs game is back on.  The Cavs cut it to under 30 so I guess that constitutes coverage.  after a Belliard single, Blake cranked a double deep and scores Belliard.  Woo hoo..down by 3 now. 

9:45 - Hughes just threw up an airball.  uh..ya.  Timeout.  Tribe has Blake on at 2nd and
Sizemore just barely missed a HR down the line.  Passed ball and Blake to third. Crowd is in it now..

9:49 - just got a text from a Pistons fan that ESPiN just called the rest of the Cavs the 'lebronettes.'  fyi..my sound is off of the Cavs game.  Michaels falls do the ground and the 8th inning is over. 

9:51 - oh my goodness.  Bron is on the ground and not getting up.  Akward landing on the left ankle. So not cool..so not cool. 

9:52 - ok he gets up..thank goodness.  Let him shoot the free throws and take him out.  not worth the risk.  anyways..we are in the 9th for the Tribe game.  Sauerbeck is in to pitch.  Everett grounded out and Sauerback makes the second out on a hit back to the pitcher.

9:54 - LeBron limps to the locker room, but on his own accord.  It doesn't appear to be awful, but we shall see.  Reed flies out and we head to the bottom of the 9th. 

9:56 - Heart of the order is up.  Come on Tribe.

9:58 - Peralta lines out to 3rd.  1 out.  Start of the 4th quarter for the Cavs game with the now LeBron-less Cavs down 24.

10:00 - They are taking an x-ray on Bron and thinking it might be a mild sprain.  Henderson is going to the locker room too..oy.  Pronk just nailed a base hit.  1 man on.  Victor up. 

10:02 - ESPiN just took away coverage of the Cavs game (again).  Victor just nailed a deep ball to right center.  that didnt look like it would go that far, but hey.  Pronk on 3rd and Victor on 1st. 1 out. 

10:04 - whew..Broussard just got real lucky as Sexson couldn't catch the foul ball.  OH MY...strong hit to 2nd base and it's an error...Pronk scores!  Belliard is up with runners on first and second.

10:07 - And Belliard keeps fouling away.  I just saw LeBron limping..crap.  Morefoul balls for Belliard.

10:10 - son of a freakin bitch.  Belliard strikes out.  Boone steps to the plate.  And Larry Hughes is not looking great.  And they just showed Flip pouting. 

10:12 - CRAP..its' over.  Boone popped out.  Tribe loses and Cavs are about to lose and..LeBron is injured.  And they just pulled the Cavs coverage again.  Screw it..I am done for the night before Hughes breaks his finger again. 


Ahh..Ohio Sports..
