It's going horribly wrong!
Not another Sox/Yankees series - NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
He-he-he! Tribe takes the almighty Yankees in 4 games.
Noooooo.............indeed.
Get ready Sox. Our pitching is set up perfectly for this ALC series.
;-)
You got nuttin' - 'ya here me, nuttin'... :)
This is going to be a great series. Big game pitchers - this is going
to settle the AL Cy Young that's for sure.
Sabathia/Beckett, Carmona/Schlling, Westbrook/Dice Clay,
Byrd/Wakefield.
I thought Wakefield is hurt..........bad back. Your #4 slot it not looking
good.
Westbrook is too iffy. With the number of days off in this 7 game series I
hope they go with a 3 man rotation:
Oct 12 at Boston - Game 1 - CC
Oct 13 at Boston - Game 2 - Fausto
Oct 14 - Game break
Oct 15 at Cleveland - Game 3 - Byrd
Oct 16 at Cleveland - Game 4 - CC with Westfield available
Oct 17 - Game break
Oct 18 at Cleveland - Game 5 - Fausto
Oct 19 - Game break
Oct 20 at Boston - Game 6 - Byrd
Oct 21 at Boston - Game 7 - CC with everyone but Byrd available
With Wakefield hurt the Sox may do the same thing. The edge on this
rotation goes to Cleveland.
That's a ton of great pitching.
Tribe's got Borowski, Sox got Papelbon.
The only real pitching advantage I see is the middle relief and set up
- Sox got Okijima and he's something else now that he's rested.
Our late inning relief is pretty good. Borowski is scary to watch but he
had the most saves in all of MLB this year.
Hitting? I'm not all the familiar with the Indians - Sizemore had
some good production, Hafner - maybe. Sox have a ton of big game
hitters.
We are not the powerhouse like the 95 and 97 Tribe.
I still give a slight edge to the Indians if you tortured me just
based on overall performance. :)
Vegas is giving the advantage to the Sox. But then again, they gave the
nod to NY in this recent series.
I doubt you will see any blowouts on either side except possibly in games
3,4 and 6.
Do the Sox get paid extra to have to fly to Cleveland? :}
