Anyone else think the Sox bring back Beckett on short rest if it goes to game 7? [/ QUOTE ] thinking about this more, it depends on how dice-k pitches in game 3. the other thing to consider is that there are 3 off days in this series. either manager could flip-flop their #2 and #3 starters for games #6 and #7, and have them on 4 & 6 days of rest. but between 1 & 4 there are only 3 days of rest, so almost certainly both CC & Beckett will go game 5. and then from 5 to 7 either guy would have only 2 days of rest, so there is almost no chance either guy would start game 7. but they would both be available for an inning or so. |

should be a good series and hopefully it turns out that way...the indians will put up a fight, but meh, unless the indians can bring back sabathia/carmona on short rest, i don't see how the indians win after those 2 guys

From what I remember in the 2004 ALCS, if there is a postponed game due to rain, then the game is played on one of the days off. I would assume it would be played on Sunday in Fenway. craig |

How important are the manager's when factoring in edge? I was surprised that Wedge called for as many sac-bunts as he did. Granted Tito nor Wedge micro-manage like Scioscia and Torre, but it appears that Wedge makes more decisions throughout the game than Francona. Of course, BOS defense is better than NYY, and might make the bunt less likely of an option for CLE.

If I had to bet on this series, I'd say Boston in 7, but I think it's going to be an amazing series that could easily go either way. BP has us at 48.1%, which seems pretty fair to me.

I think the sox will win this in 6. I don't see how the Indians can keep up, then again, i thought the yankees would beat them for sure, lol.

Aside from Borowski, CLE has three lights out relievers. [/ QUOTE ] betancourt, perez and who's the 3rd? why don't they start fausto carmona in game 1 then play him in 4 and 7 since he is the superior pitcher on the staff better than sabathia unless it's a tossup against beckett and why waste him ahhh nevermind |
