ALCS Thread: Boston vs Cleveland

[Jimcs50]

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?

Relax

Boston> Colorado

The best team will win.

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.

'04, because it's the only time in baseball history that someone blew a 3-0 series lead.

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.

Thank you for agreeing with me.

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

Eh. I will say they pull a Cardinals and do the same.

Yeah didn't they lose game 3 like 12-3 or somethin like that?

I remember the Cardinals were up 2-0 in the series and I said "Man Cardinals Yankees replay of the 64 WS"

Then BAM.

Cardinals played and got smoked by the second hottest team in baseball history.

[T Park]

Eh. I will say they pull a Cardinals and do the same.

Ah you see they can't cause they didn't win the World Series.

Small details my friend.

Small details my friend.

But small details also say that Cleveland didn't make the World Series.

Getting into the playoffs from the AL Central is a major accomplishment in of itself. Ignoring the 2007 White Sox for the moment, there is only one weak sister in the division. Fans of AL Central teams also know that the Royals only win games against divisional opponents. Seriously, look at the splits from the last two seasons; it's sick.

Anyway, my point is that the Indians play in the overall toughest division, and getting back to this point will not be easy.

It's not even out of the question for the White Sox to win 85 games next year and win the division. The Twins have 3-4 All Stars (if Hunter stays), Liriano will be back. The Tigers have an awesome team that was plauged by injuries, the Royals have great young talent (a pitcher that will be a stud for many years in Brian Bannister) and the White Sox have one of the biggest wallets in the league. So yeah it's a tough division to say the least.

Props to the Sox, big ol' BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! to the Tribe.

That series almost looked like the choke job Detroit performed in the WS last year.

Almost.
