I watched the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday afternoon as they beat the host Chicago White Sox 6-4 to sweep the three-game series to improve to 84-62, one of the best records in all of baseball, and get closer to an American League Central Division championship.

I watch — or listen to — all the Guardians games. They are my happy place — my escape — while the Browns work their way through the ticking time bomb that is quarterback Deshaun Watson.

I have been a lifelong fan of both teams. It used to be, years and years ago when the franchise was known as the Indians, that they struggled to get their act together, their actions being a comedy of  errors as they stacked losses and losing seasons, while their stadium mates, the Browns, went about their business the right way and competed for championships.

But all that has flipped in the last 30 years. It’s now the baseball team winning and operating a well-run organization while the Browns try to avoid chaos.

And this very moment is a prime example of that.

I’ve written about this before, but it deserves to be brought up from time to time because it is fascinating.

Pretty soon the Cavaliers, who have been enjoying success in recent years, will begin training camp to get ready for the regular season, and that will provide another diversion.

Then, of course, there’s the Ohio State football team, which, once again, will vie for a national title.

Yes, indeed, the Browns have stern competition for our attention. They are hardly the only game in town anymore. And they had better clearly understand that.
