ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox

[tuq]

Dear Red Sox,

Please win.

XOXOXO

By the way, this NL/AL imbalance is a lollercoaster the likes of the Eastern and Western conferences in the NBA, or the AFC and NFC. Brutal. Curious to see how heavily the AL team is favored in the series.

I might be in the minority of Red Sox Nation when I say it but I'd rather have Lester out there than Wakefield. Here's my case...
- A lot of the Indians offensive threats (Sizemore, Hafner, Lofton) are lefties. Lefties are hitting .231 on Lester this year.
- Lester's ERA was 3.34 in September with 3 quality starts. We all knew it'd take Lester some time to get his bearings straight and he had some great starts in September.
- Meanwhile, Wakefield managed only 1 quality start in September with an ERA of 8.76 and 7 HR allowed in 24 2/3 innings. As inconsistent as Lester was this year, Wakefield was even moreso. And he didn't finish the season on the good side of that inconsistency, while Lester did.

I just feel more comfortable with Lester right now. Thoughts?

Aside from Borowski, CLE has three lights out relievers.

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
