I gave Cleveland fans TERRIBLE advice

In my Sully Baseball video, I told Cleveland fans to stop watching the NBA and start watching the Indians.

The Indians are 11-17 since then and have fallen into a first place tie with the Tigers after this recent disastrous sweep by the Yankees. They have lost 14 of their last 18 games and playing totally uninspired baseball.

Meanwhile the Heat and LeBron James lost the NBA Finals, partially because of some dreadful 4th quarter numbers put up by LeBron James.

So if Cleveland fans listened to me, they'd see their baseball team lose and MISS LeBron James get suckerpunched.

I humbly apologize to any Indians fan who listened to me.

But hey!
If I told you at the beginning of the season that the same day LeBron James got humiliated out of the Finals, the Indians would have a share of first place, you would ALL take it.

So look at it that way.

And let's see the video for the last time.

Cleveland fans... you had better not have been watching the NBA Finals!

Seriously... I hope none of you Cleveland fans were watching the Heat.

There was an Indians game on!
Grady Sizemore came off the DL and drove in 2, Carlos Santana went 3-3, the Indians won and are 12 games above .500, have the best record in the American League and are nipping at Philadelphia's heels for the best record in baseball... it will be JUNE tomorrow so this is more than "A fluke start"...

How could any of you watch basketball just to torture yourself?

What the hell is the matter with you?

I already made this point with a video, but let me link it again in case some of you are thinking of watching the NBA Finals game 2!!!

Cleveland Fans... MOVE TO FLORIDA!

There are many reasons to move to Florida.

The sunshine... the affordable housing... the wonderful collection of loons that populate the state... easy to comprehend ballots...

But add to that list "Championship caliber sports" almost no matter what kind of sport you follow.

We Boston fans can be a little obnoxious in claiming this decade for ourselves in terms of sports titles.

Detroit fans can crow a lot with the Red Wings halfway to their third Stanley Cup this decade to go with an NBA Title for the Pistons and the 2006 AL Pennant for the Tigers.

But for the joy of rooting for a winner (a feeling that is delayed for 4 1/2 decades and counting in Cleveland) where can you find more winners and in more different categories than Florida this decade?

The Florida State Seminoles won the 2000 Sugar Bowl for the BCS Title
The University of Miami Hurricanes won the 2002 Rose Bowl for the BCS Title
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003.
The Florida Marlins won the 2003 World Series
The Tampa Bay Lightning won the 2004 Stanley Cup
The Miami Heat won the 2006 NBA Finals
The University of Florida Gators won the 2006 and 2007 Division 1 Basketball Title.
The University of Florida Gators won the 2007 and 2009 BCS Title

And some other highlights

The Florida State Seminoles played in the 2001 Orange Bowl for the BCS Title but lost
The University of Miami Hurricanes played in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl for the BCS Title but lost
The Tampa Bay Rays won the 2008 AL Pennant but lost the World Series to the Phillies.

And now the Orlando Magic has made it all the way to the NBA Finals.

Practically the only Florida team that HASN'T had a highlight has been the most famous Florida team, the Miami Dolphins.

(OK, fine... the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Florida Panthers haven't booked a parade route recently.)

I guess the best advice I can give to Cleveland fans is this...

Move to Florida!

Remember that 1997 World Series and 2009 Eastern Conference Final that put a bad taste in your mouth?

In Florida, those were HAPPY occasions!

Not convinced?

Here's winter in Cleveland.

Here's winter in Florida.

See the difference?

Come on. Book a flight.
