I hoped things might change when the McBonerito was born. The Cleveland sports landscape has been pretty bleak since LeBron gathered up his vast talents and vacated the premises after a 61-win 2009-10 season. Like any sports fan, I'm superstitious, and I thought maybe, just maybe some new blood would stir things up, reverse karma, recalibrate whatever machinations make some teams winners and other losers. I've even taught the kid to say 'Go Cavs!', a phrase he's liable to spout a couple dozen times a day.
Here's how we've fared since 11/6/11:
Indians: 68-94
Cavs: 43-91
Browns: 6-17
Total: 117-202
Winning percentage: 36%
Playoff appearances: 0
When it comes to sports, the McBonerito is apparently
not a lucky charm.
So, kiddo, this is it. If the Indians don't have a winning summer, it may be time to talk siblings with your sometimes-pregnant mother.
