Who cares, the Yankees are out
I now have no real rooting interest (for or against) in either CS, other than maybe cheering on Boston because it would make it that much worse for the damnyankees.

Go Indians.
Boston
Rockies/Indians WS.
Go Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indians in 6.
I can't wait to see more people become "Red Sox fans" I thought 2004 was bad, te bandwagon is going to be packed this year. Like I said before, nobody outside of Boston gave a about the Red Sox till 2004.
Boston will win series. It will be a good series, but I thinh their team is the healthiest it has been in months and they are playing like they did in April, May and June again.
I think there are only about 5 Boston fans in this forum, so I do not get your statement at all. It is not like we had 20 fans come in here in 04.

Tribe in 6. Becket and Schilling get their wins, thats it.
I'm saying Red Sox "Nation" is a bunch of front runners since this Nation didn't appear when they had mediorce playoff teams in the 90's. Nobody gave 2 craps about the Sox back then. Now all of a sudden everyone is infatuated with them. I wasn't talking about this board, I'm talking about how everyone in this country is Red Sox fans now that they won a World Series. It's just become a way to show others that you hate the Yankees.
I hope this is a great one. Sabathia and Carmona vs. Beckett and Schilling. Possibly the best two one-two punch pitcher tandems in the league. I want the Indians to win, but it's going to be a toss up to see who get's beaten down by the Rockies in the WS.![]()
This will be a fantastic series, great pitching and hitting vs great pitching and hitting.
The rightfull teams made it no question.
that being said, Im ROOTING for the Cleveland Indians.
The fans really deserve a ring after all these years.
cleveland only chance at ring is basebball not basketball or football
Not much of a baseball fan, but I'm going for the Red Sox since my grandpa has been a huge Sox fan since the Ted Williams days.
Carmona is going to OWN the bosox.
He already has a complete game shutout this year against them. CC lost a 1-0 game the night before.
Carmona will be tough on the Sox because they have alot of right handed bats. You should have seen Manny's ABs against him in July...some of the worst swings I've ever seen. Manny at one point just looked at Carmona and started laughing. Like Torri Hunter said: right handers don't stand a chance against that sinker of his.
I beg to differ. The Sox fans (like myself) have been some of the best fans in baseball for decades. They always sell out games at Fenway, their season tickets have been the hardest tickets to procure anywhere in sports. Also, their away games have been full of their fans for as long as I can remember. I went to some Ranger-Sox games back at the old Arlington Stadium in the 80s and also at The Ball Park the last 15 years or so and every time I go, 25-35% of the those in attendence were Red Sox fans like myself.
First, I won't argue anything saying that Sox fans are not good fans. They are good fans. The people I have a problem with are people that just jumped on the bandwagon. Obviously I'm not talking about fans in Boston. I'm talking about going to an Indians game and being cursed at by Red Sox fans that came from Akron. These fans didn't exsist in the 90's because being a die hard Red Sox fan wasn't cool back then. I once had a guy tell me he was a Red Sox fan for 2 reasons 1) he liked the hat and 2) he hated the Yankees. I mean there ARE people like this, and this is why the Red Sox Nation is a crock. It's the same as how all of a sudden the Colts are the second most popular team in the NFL. Everyone likes rooting for a winner. But back in 1995, when nobody expected anything out of Boston, the fans didn't travel to the games, they didn't lead SportCenter off with late breaking Red Sox news, the Yanks/Sox were not on TV 18 times a year....nobody cared. Now everyone not only cares, but they are "Red Sox Fans"
But the reason Fenway is always sold out isn't all about having good fans. For one, its the smallest stadium in the MLB and second, it's the oldest so they get tons of out of towners that don't even care about the team that go.
But I'm not personally attacking you or any others, but I'm just saying that there are people in this world that are:Red Sox, Spurs, Colts/Patriots/ and USC fans that have no other reason for liking them other than they are good. See Lebron James.
I lived in Boston back in '83 and I had no trouble getting into Fenway. Their sellouts are a relatively recent phenomenon in my opinion.
I think Boston will win this series because they have home-field advantage. It should go 7 games.
CC gets pounded. sox take game 1
up next, carmona vs schilling
david and manny are like 29-36
if they do not cool off they will win it all
what playoff performers
