. . . or have a rivalry with some other team . .. or even be on the radar, to be hated?

I mean, we Clevelanders hate them as an organization for the boneheaded moves that defy description. Like, for instance, getting rid of two Cy Young award winners in consecutive seasons for nothing rather than add two more aces to offset your inconsistent offense and become a contender for years.

But hey, when you have a miserly cheapster owner, a staff that thinks they know what they're doing and are part of a sport that's pretty much become the epitome of unbridled corporatism, what are you going to do but root for the Cavs and hope they bring this God-forsaken dying city a goddamned TITLE in SOMEthing already?
