It always works...

No matter how much your teams are slumping, one thing always seems to work for me as a Cleveland fan - reverse psychology. Turn the enthusiasm into doom and gloom and start bashing your own players and they inevitably turn it around. Cliff Lee was today's example, going a strong 6 and 2/3, with one unearned run, 4 K, and 1 walk. Sure, our offense still looked anemic, but at least we got a win to avoid the sweep. A mediocre 3-3 start, but still a 3 game lead on the big bad Tigers who are now 0-6.

It's only one game, but so far so good for Mr. Lee
