ALCS Thread: Boston vs Cleveland

[T Park]

Your Cardinals had the 3rd highest payroll a couple of years ago....btw.

Yeah now at 100 million they are like 8th.

The Astros's payroll had to have been "right there"

don't care if you are the underdog. If you are up 3-1, and you have three chances to win just ONE MORE game and you don't do it, you chocked. They were hardcore in the driver's seat, particularly with game 5 being in Cleveland. They blew it, pure and simple.

not when said Cy Young dominating post season pitcher Beckett throws that game, and then game 6 your back at the toughest park to play at in baseball.

[Hank the Tank]

not over yet! haha.

[T Park]

that may be but being up 3-1 and having all the momentum to finish it in cle and with manny sayin what he said they should have finished it.

i consider it a huge choke job!

They weren't gonna win cause of the way the pitching matched up.

Beckett Schilling, then the 100 million dollar man in game 7.

The odds were stacked against the Indians. Period.

Am I not mistaken in that another Cy Young pitcher was facing him.

when said other pitcher got blown out in game 1 and didn't have the postseason history that other said Cy Younger has my point is still valid.

[Hank the Tank]

.....well GO COLORADO!!!


....and wow... of a catch.

[T Park]

1 out more.

[T Park]

Celebrate Boston.

[Jimcs50]

Great play by Crisp

[T Park]

Thank the Cardinals for developing him Jim

[Jimcs50]

Thank the Cardinals for developing him Jim

I do.




I like him a lot, he just needs to get his bat going.

[Jimcs50]

Feel bad for the Cleveland players, they are a great group of guys, but they are young, they can get back and have another chance.

[T Park]

yeah that chuck Finley trade doesn't look too good now

[T Park]

I predict they pull a Tigers and don't make the postseason next year.

[Erect as a Bull]

Well I knew they would come back from 3-1
ing Cleveland.
Always runner up somehow.
Funny .

Go Rockies though :

I will take that bet

[Jimcs50]

Go Rockies though :

Colorado is being touted in here a lot...I hate to break the bad news, but they have ZERO chance of winning the World Series.

Boston is by far the best team that they have faced in the last month, and even though they beat Boston in Fenway this year, they can not beat them in a 7 game series....that is a lead pipe lock.

[T Park]

Ok Tim Donaghey

[Melmart1]

Jim, your predictions are KILLING ME! You better not jinx them! I will find you and hunt you down! How many dentists can there possibly be in College Station whose name is Jim?

Nice job you jinxed your own team.

Now just think back to last year when the Cardinals went up against the hot juggernaut that was the Tigers and how it was all "Tigers in 3"

The Rockies have an equal lineup top to bottom, some spots better.

Definately better hitting at the shortstop position.

Heres the other thing, they have been an underdog since the playoff game.

They've got zippo to lose, they are Susan Lucci with the happy to be there.

I will give them a 40% chance to win. Boston should win in 6.

I'd like to see 6, if Boston wins, to see them win it in front of their fans.

Something they missed out on in 04.

[resistanze]

I walked into a 's Sporting Goods and was shocked to see Indians World Series T-shirts on sale... There are also reports Wal-Mart is selling them too....Ohhh that sinking feeling has returned...

Even funnier now.

[T Park]

He will be like Louie Devo and fake his death on an airliner.

[T Park]

If thats true, boo on Cleveland..

Man they go to the Finals and the ALCS and they think they are in championship central.

I will add on, thats also a stupid thing to do.


Now you just look like a city thats never been there before, when you actually HAVE been in 97.

[T Park]

Ok if this was a choke.

Im not saying it is, I'll agree to disagree.

Wich is bigger.

This year, or the 04 Yankees.

[Jimcs50]

Not a choke

Baseball teams win and lose 3 straight all the damn time...it all depends on what pitcher gets hot at a given time. These teams were the best teams in baseball and it was destined to be an even seies...Boston got hot late, Cleveland early and only one game separated them.
