Thanks for the explanation. It wasn’t obvious that this is a “flash” review and frankly that should be indicated in far less subtle ways.

Why does the author buy into the same trap of assuming this represents anything but the persons involved? Do not give me this coy “they are who they are” sentiment at the end the piece.

But can they stop themselves from crashing into steel baseball backstops? 

and that’s where you lost me.

With Love’s injury and a mess of a head coach firing in just the first month of the season, the team almost feels jinxed.

Yeah Cleveland Sucks. The housing is affordable. Traffic is manageable. The waterfront is pretty. Good food. 

Haha. 

This is a very bizarre piece, if I may say so. The tone of it implies that Osuna should be afforded some sort of sympathy, because he is Mexican and therefore being treated with less respect in the media than white domestic abusers(yes, sure, alleged).

sparking North Coast fans to celebrate their team like only that region’s culture of failure can

They’re cheering because their team just set the MLB record for wins in a row. Normally I appreciate the deadspin snark but I thought this moment was actually pretty cool.

I’m not normally one to shit on other people’s comments, but this stopped being funny after the first 2 or 3 times it was posted recently. I don’t mind of you want to rub Cleveland’s face in it for being Cleveland, but please make an effort to be creative or original when you do it.

Don’t be dumb. The logo is awful and racist and makes me feel terrible about myself, but the team is full of good, likable dudes who have no say in the logo. I fucking love this team.

A streak like this is historic and fun.

Quick, someone post the 2nd attempt! Maybe someone will mention that our river was on fire that one time.

Oh man, that’s so original!
