You're right...It said Cleveland on their jerseys. No decisions make any difference whatsoever. Wedge decides to leave Sabathia in a 2-1 game in the 7th in game 5 and he gives up 2. He decides to take Westbrook out in a 3-2 game in the 7th tonight and Betancourt gives up 2. No decision matters whatsoever in Cleveland. They will lose no matter what. The easy double play ball hit by Manny in the first that flew into center field on a horrid hop didn't matter. Lofton being safe in the 5th didn't matter. Joel Skinner having severe brain cramps in the top of the 7th didn't matter. You simply can't change the fact the team plays in Cleveland...that trumps anything else. They could have had a 33-0 lead with two outs and noone on in the bottom of the 9th. It wouldn't matter. They would find a way to do a Cleveland thing. THat is what it means to be a Cleveland fan. You lose 9 of your last 10 series clinching games...it ain't a fluke, it ain't bad luck. It's reality. That's the way things just are supposed to be.
