My stupid cable modem is sucking. I just got off the phone with service... they're sending someone out on Saturday. It just chooses to drop connections for no reason whatsoever. The connections don't come back quickly either... usually about 8-10 hours pass before it comes back. It's really a pain in the butt. It's been doing this for about a month off and on, but this week it's been almost completely on the fritz. I was able to get 3 minutes in yesterday before it crapped out.
Comcast said it is a poor cable line (i.e. static), so maybe they'll run a new one. That would actually be great, since I only have one line upstairs and one downstairs.
So I guess you're right on both counts Paul. I am having technical difficulties and I am sulking. The Indians didn't get it done when it counted most. Their failure to make the playoffs actually got me thinking though.
If I could have any of my favorite teams win a championship, who would it be? Here's the list...
1. Cleveland Indians
2. Purdue Boilermakers Football
3. Cleveland Cavaliers
4. Cleveland Browns
5. Purdue Boilermakers Basketball
The list isn't really that close though, as the Indians are far and away #1. They've got a good team coming back next year, but this team reminds me a lot of the 1999 or 2000 team. They charged hard down the stretch but came up just short. That's what makes it so freaking frustrating. I feel like if they would've made the playoffs they had a chance to win it all. They just couldn't score any runs the last week. They needed to adapt their hitting and never did. If they didn't hit homeruns they didn't score. Well guess what team... you weren't hitting home runs! That means bunt! Bunt like your lives depended on it. But they didn't. They sucked at bunting.
If I were in charge next year I'd make them spend all of March bunting runners over, stealing bases, hitting sacrafice flies, and hitting and running.
Fundamentals. Maybe it's because they're a young team. Maybe it's not. They need a better graps on the fundamentals.
