    Let's see if Dice K can earn the $103 million that went to get him. Frankly, I don't know if he's up to the task.

    If Drew, Gagne, and Lugo can contribute....

    I feel good about Dice K actually. 5 strong innings is all we need with Lester and Wake able to get it to Okajima and Pap.

    Gagne 'contributed'? He pitched the 9th inning of a 12-2 blowout. As a fan of the Red Sox, do you really want to see him in a pressure situation?

    I think we can get 2 good innings from Timlin tonight as well..... image

    It'll be all hands on deck, that's for sure.

    It would be worth watching if one team wasn't choking it away. Chances of winning tonight: Boston, 98%, Cleveland 2%. Only some sort of a fluke beyond the imagination or a total giveaway by the Red Sox keeps them from winning tonight. In other words, all Boston has to do is show up.

    this series has certainly been worth watching... a lot more than any of the NL series which were snoozefests and featured some truly crappy teams.

    I couldn't agree more with you. The NL this year was even weaker than they usually are, and there were no compelling reasons to watch any of the games or care about any of the teams.

    As for tonight, Daisuke just needs 5 good innings. Even if not, you'll see every pitcher the Sox have in to help him.

    Well, every Sox pitcher not named Gagne anyway.

    A great series for the young Indians, win or lose tonight. Playing the Red Sox and Yankees during the playoffs
    has provided many challenges and learning experiences for the team. A loss tonight will not make the season a
    failure. Failure will be if next year we do not learn from our weaknesses and work to make them strengths.

    ALCS MVP:
    If Boston wins: Beckett or Manny, my vote is with Beckett.
    If Cleveland wins: Westbrook with a strong performance tonight, or Peralta. A possible sleeper in Betancourt.

    Yeah, that's what they said about the Cardinals last year...

    I know, I was one of the ones saying it.

    I'm well aware the best team doesn't always win (like last year), so I take nothing for granted here. This upcoming series will be a tough one.

    Only because you don't watch them...I have to wonder if you or anyone else who called the NL series bad watched them in any capacity to make that determination.

    Colorado, Arizona are crappy teams? Give me a break.

    Simply because some people are so fascinated with the teams the mainstream media force feeds the american public every night doesn't mean baseball out west is 'crappy'.


    What will the excuse be if Colorado (you know, a crappy team) beats the Sox for the world series?

    The Rockies will NOT be pushovers. Plus they seem to be on a mission from God!! 21 of 22 is incredible, and I think this will be Beckett's biggest challenge yet.

    I think the amount of rest they've had will actually be a disavantage.

    I know that's not a popular opinion, but that's what I think...

  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    I think I agree with you. 8 days is a long time. It will be really interesting to see how sharp they are. Beckett is going on regular rest on Wednesday.

    I agree the long layoff will hurt the Rockies. It's all about momentum in the post season, we'll see if the Rockies lost theirs.


    I hope not.


    Hoping for an entertaining series with lots of close games, I can hope can't I?

    Peace
