cept they cant afford to bring cc back and wont be able to fill the huge holes at 3rd and lf and rf. the sox reload. teams like the tribe wait for that lucky season where young and veteran players mesh and max out their collective ability. and if they miss, there is no next year.

"great SS, check"

ugh, peralta is average overall. poor fielder. decent hitter for power, but strikes out too much. admittedly did much better this year than the last 2. will he regress to the mean.

"front line starter check x2 at least for one year"

cc is gonzo. sox better hope he doesnt go to ny.

also, they proly lose some bullpen arms.

forget it, yall cant understand a small market team.

thats all im gonna say about it. in the end im happy they did well and enjoyed watching them.

um, no hes not. hes a GOOD fielder, young and can hit.

you can cry woe is me, but your team is stacked.

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
 

its not really woe is me.

ive watched this team for 3 yrs. kinda surprised peralta gets so much national love bc we (local fans) always kinda thought he was underachieving.

he had a great postseason so i think hes being overrated but, well, look at his numbers over the last few yrs. sure, mebbe he "turned the corner" and i think he is capable and wouldnt want to give up on him.

fielding is too subjective but we think he is easily below average for his position. i watched 75% of the games this year and i would take most mlb ss ove him in terms of fielding. his bat makes up for it but not enough to put him in the upper echelon.

imo.

For all the complaining that Sawx fans were doing up until three years ago, it's pretty easy to forget that they're about to win their fifth and sixth championships of the decade. I'm not a "Cleveland" fan, just a guy who grew up with a Cleveland family that turned me on to the Indians from birth, but Boston fans have it made, as the last five years have been a non-stop party for you guys. Mets fans don't have it that bad either.

I can pretty much guarantee that I'm the most sports-cursed person on the planet after this loss (yes, even worse than "Cleveland" fans who root for the Indians, Cavs, and Browns).

Hi, my name is Tyler. I cheer for the sports franchises from the city of Philadelphia.

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
 

So nobody missed me and nobody cares that I stayed out of this thread because I felt a posting jinx when Sox were down 3-1. Fine, be that way.

But its hard not to post here, I didn't realize I was so addicted. But that's okay, attachments aren't "mine", if they were truly mine, they would obey my will and not be oppressive. So I cling not to the arising of attachments, nor to the thoughts of liberation from the same.

But dang it was hard when JD DREW hit that dinger. Like the dude said, "Where's your God now JD Drew haters!"

Cleveland. Remember, after all, the first Noble Truth is suffering. Sports championships are not the path leading to the cessation of suffering, but rather a hindrance. You are better off learning suffering and patience. Painful sensations and shrunken states of mind will pass.

I'm sorry, but you guys act like you used to suffer forever, please, you guys don't know suffering from sports....

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
 

ooh.. suffering debates.. these are interesting and fun. and lol @ brushing off philly.

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
 

well phillys last championship was 1983, compare that to 1964 for cleveland, and that barely gets acknowledged because it wasnt the famed 'super bowl' yet

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
 

Knowing suffering is a good thing, take the wisdom gained from sports suffering and apply it to every moment that arises. See that every moment arises and falls, there is no safe abode for your mind, everything you gain will fade away, old age, sickness and death await. All is impermanent, unsatisfying, and anatta.

But there is a solution. Letting go is the key. Your life is short, time is of the essence, spend your life learning to let go. Compassion and love will flow from the peace you obtain from letting go of everything. I am a jokerster and not extremely smart, but I am not joking here and quite wise in these matters, Dharma Magazine's 4-time Yogin of the Year (96-98, 04) sorry, couldn't resist. Good luck.

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
 

w/e u just said made my mind exsplode

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
 

kidcolin,

the reason we brush off philly fan in this debate is that philly fan brings it on himself.

remember when they were a small market team before citizens bank park opened? seriously? PHILADELPHIA was a small market team? and got money from revenue sharing?

also, yeah. boston fan has had something going for it for a while now. cleveland fan, not so much.

oh well, putting my hope and faith in the buckeyes for another year. (for the record, despite what my screen name is, i would rather the indians or browns win than OSU, by a factor of about a thousand. the cavs, not so much, but i'll take what i can get.)
