So the Cleveland Indians beat the Red Sox again this morning. They now lead the best of seven series 3-1. Not a good way to start the day.

Maybe I should take this opportunity to point out to fate or karma or whoever is behind the Cleveland butt-whupping that my ragging on Cleveland back in August (see Dubai is not a "Global City") was not making fun of the Indians, but more the fact that the Cavaliers were just swept in the 2007 NBA Finals. And that the Browns aren't very good, either.

It's kind of based in fact - Cleveland has the biggest sports championship drought in all of the United States. Seriously. The last Cleveland title was when the Cleveland Browns won the pre-Super Bowl NFL Championship in 1964.

Some (including "Curse of the Bambino"-coiner Dan Shaughnessy, no doubt) call it the Cleveland Sports Curse.

But so far in the last three Red Sox / Indians games I've seen no sign of said Curse.

ARGH.

So anyway, how 'bout them Patriots? 6-0, eh? Fantastic.
