Safe to say, the city of Cleveland is crushing it this year --?in both the NBA and Major League Baseball. And when the two join forces, magical things can happen.Remember when the Cleveland Indians went on a 14-game winning streak after the Cleveland Cavaliers brought home some hardware?This partnership?kept rolling Friday night when LeBron James went to Progressive Field to root on the Indians --?from a?luxury box, of course.At first, things were far from picture perfect for the Indians. The Toronto Blue Jays scored twice in the?first inning. No sweat, though. Plenty of game left.Come bottom of the ninth inning and Toronto leading 2-1, it was time to start sweating. Time to pull out all the stops. Put LeBron on the big screen.What happens next? Jose Ramirez homers to tie the score.Wait, what?Yes, the Indians put LeBron on the screen, and a home run ensued. But?theres more.The next batter, Tyler Naquin slammed a fly off the right-field fence that turned into an inside-the-park home run. His dive?into home plate was a Hollywood finish.LeBron tweeted about the outrageous?win with some suggestive hashtags.If weve learned anything, when LeBron says a team is next, it might not be as outlandish as you think.Indians pitcher?Danny Salazar followed up?with a tweet to LeBron.A picture-perfect finish, indeed -- not one, but two home runs, back to back, for an Indians walk-off win. Naturally, the Indians went ham on their Twitter profile, updating both their bio and profile picture to include Naquin.So, how do the Indians top that one? Well, they have their fourth sold-out game of the season on Saturday. Think LeBron will make an appearance to ice the cake? Air Force 1 n7 . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. Air Force 1 Alte Victorious Minotaur . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.airforce1outletitalia.it/ . Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. Sf Air Force 1 Mid Desert Ochre . Burke is expected to miss two to three months after breaking a finger in the teams third preseason game. Tinsley, a 10-year veteran, spent the last two seasons in Utah, where the point guard averaged 3. Air Force 1 Mid Uomo . The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida coach Jim McElwain feels like his teams been too up and down in two seasons.Significant victory one week, pedestrian performance the next.It hasnt happened too often, but McElwain has seen it enough to know he doesnt want it to become a trend. So he challenged his players this week to show theyve grown, ready to better handle success.The 13th-ranked Gators (8-2), coming off a 16-10 upset at LSU that clinched a second straight Eastern Division title for Florida, play at No. 15 Florida State (8-3) on Saturday night.Its a rivalry game with a revenge subplot -- the Seminoles have won three in a row, including a 27-2 drubbing in Gainesville last year -- but its also a chance for the Gators to prove theyve changed their inconsistent ways.Lets call it the way it is, McElwain said. Im not sure weve had a decent win like this was and actually followed it up, you know what I mean? But whether you go win the game or not, its about the effort and the emotion and the way you attack the week of preparation. But thats part of the growth of an organization and a program.So heres another opportunity for us to learn, and weve got a lot of good, young players thatre playing their tails off. Now, can they keep putting it back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back? The sign of consistency is what helps you be successful in whatever youre doing.McElwain didnt offer any examples of his teams past shortcomings. He didnt have to. Theyre obvious.Florida beat Georgia in a rivalry game late last month and then got shellacked the following week at Arkansas, a 31-10 loss that had outsiders wondering if the Gators would win again this season.Last season, the Gators hammered the Bulldogs and then kicked a late field goal the following week to edge Vanderbilt 9-7 and clinch the East. They rebounded the next week at South Carolina, then needed overtime to pput away Florida Atlantic at home.ddddddddddddSo its easy to see why McElwain would be leery with the Seminoles up next .We got to stay hungry, quarterback Austin Appleby said. You cant exhale at all. We got an unbelievable opponent in front of us. We got everything, our goals that we set in the beginning of the season are right there for us. Our destiny is in our hands. We win and we can accomplish anything we want. We know that.We found a win, but we still have a lot of things that we need to build on. As long as we keep bringing that attitude, keep bringing that great focus, we will be OK.The Gators still have an outside shot at making the College Football Playoff. Of course, they need to beat FSU on Saturday and top-ranked Alabama in the SEC title game just to make it a possibility.Thats no easy task. But if they find some consistency week to week, and continue playing great defense and turnover-free football, McElwain believes anything is possible for this team.You learn from failure, all of us do, he said. We learned that youve got to come to play. We arent that good to be able to just show up, and I think weve done that the last couple weeks. I think weve showed up. Youve ... If you dwell on it, its going to be there forever instead of, `What did I learn from it?I thought our guys learned some things from it. And its no different than probably when you were growing up and your mom had a kettle on the stove and you wondered what that red burner was and you probably went over there and touched it and realized, `You know what, that didnt feel very good. So lets not do that again. Those are the lessons we learn in whatever we do.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
