Breaking News! Cavs Lose! Indians Sign No One!

Hey folks, that's 23 in a row, tying the all-time NBA single-season record.  After they equal their own 1982 streak against Portland tomorrow, only the elusive 8-74 is left to attain.

While the Indians brass has sat around carefully assuring everyone that the Enzyte is in the mail, the fans fester unsatisfied as the rest of league gets better...

Vlad Guerrero (1-yr, $8mil) & Justin Duchscherer (1-yr, $4.5mil) complete a renaissance in Baltimore that has raised the Orioles payroll from $73mil last season to $93mil in 2011.

Just to spite us (because we know that they have no real use for them) the Yankees have signed 3B Eric Chavez (at least my father doesn't have to stop following the Tribe) and former Indians utility man Ronnie Belliard to minor league deals.

And the Cards have agreed to terms with Jim Edmonds to return to St Louis.  He would have been of no value on a minor league deal with an invite.  No, not at all.

Is the symmetry of the Buckeyes 23-0 season and the Cavaliers 23 game losing streak as elegant as it seems to me?

Cheers.
