CLEVELAND!!!!!! The home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is soon to be the home of the Cleveland Steamers. (The official move will not take place until the end of the year, but you can call my team the Steamers now if you want)
The people of Covington seem to be ambivalent about the move, when asked most reply, "We had a baseball team, I did not know that."
The people of Cleveland are much more excited about the move. One resident commented, "I thought it was horrible when they took the Browns away from us, it will be nice to finally get a replacement team."
The new owner and GM Jeremy Goldman was reached at his mansion outside of Atlanta and said, "It is a new day for the team in Covington. It has been a long road in making this team into what it is today, and now with this new direction in Cleveland, look for the franchise to make history in the near future."
It is time to look towards the future and turn this team around, and the start is with the new management and new location.
So Cleveland is at the north end if I-77 in Ohio. Guess what city is at the south end of I-77 in Ohio?
ReplyDeleteOh, that's right! Marietta! The River Cities!
I see a highway series in the future, just for the drama of it.
Give me a few seasons before we call that the battle of I-77
ReplyDeleteThe closest (?) geographic rival I have is Mack, in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteI eagerly await the third matchup in the I-5 Series.
Michael, that's sad. I already have my instate rival - the Walla Walla Federal Duck. Stop trying to just glom on.
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, we haven't ever played the hated Federal Duck, but it's a very heated rivalry anyway.
Of course, neither of you can play the other in the regular season without...what's it called?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, interleague play! I'd still push for that to occur someday.
Some day, The Duck shall play in the only Interleague play that counts. And we'll win. Someday.
ReplyDeleteUntil then, they wait.
ReplyDeleteThey wait and sharpen the knives.
Cthulhu f'tagn.
Mack: At least it's not as sad as it was when I was in Sweden. Then, Zev was my closest rival, and that's stretching the word "closest" to its absolute definition.
ReplyDeleteI should relocate to South Georgia Island or something. Maybe Tasmania.
ReplyDeleteIf you move to South Georgia, I am following you to the Florida panhandle
ReplyDeleteYou can't escape from me that easy :)
