Red Sox win big. When it gets down to a seventh game, anything can happen.
Dice-K vs. Westbrook.
No postseason success thus far for Dice-K... Westbrook's sinker kept the BoSox in check in game 3 (4-2 win for the Indians in Cleveland.)
I'm leaning with the Indians. Doesn't matter, though... Rox beat whoever the AL throws at them in 4.

I feel for the Cleveland fans should the Sox pull it out...but Fox will be happy. I agree about the Rockies, the way they are playing a sweep could happen. Which would not make Fox happy.
Interesting note will be how will the Rox react to a loss it hasn't happened since Sept 29th.
Well Dice K did better than I thought he would. He completed the 5th inning this time and only gave up 2 runs. Still not the dominating performance you keep expecting from him.
This one's up for grabs. Could be a fantastic finish. Westbrook is getting better with each inning.
Its a great game, GO SOX!!
Westbrook gets into a groove, strikes out 4 in the last 2 innings, and he gets pulled?????
It's getting intense. Folks are starting to grip just a bit. Lugo drops a pop fly. Cleveland's 3rd base coach has a brain fart. Blake botches a hard groundball. Who's going to be the goat in this game?

I think that's going to come back and bite Cleveland. It just did! Pedroia a HR!
Cleveland coach Wedge is my goat of the game. Pulling Westbrook after he catches fire in innings 5 and 6.

Yep. That was a stupid move. He was getting stronger the last two innings.
Down 6-3 with 6 outs left. Cleveland's up against. Bosox have Papelbon and Becket if they need him.

If it all stays the same the Sox are going to go into the WS with some pretty strong momentum, after this comeback.
Pamperbon is a stud!
GO SOX!

6-3...5-2...4-1...three runs is three runs, no?
If it all stays the same the Sox are going to go into the WS with some pretty strong momentum, after this comeback. I totally agree. If the Sox win this tonight I think the will win the WS. Co's hot but Sox have done this exact thing before!
Not too many more of those sh*t-eating grins from Shapiro, the Cleveland GM. 5 days ago he was up 3 games to 1, he had this beautiful blonde babe of a wife at his side. The world was his oyster. He and his wife were just grinning from ear to ear and everybody was slapping him on the back. Dude was a genius. Now when the camera goes to him, his body language is far different. Even the wife isn't smiling anymore. But he'll get one last chance to smile, just a hunch. These Indians aren't going away. 2 on, nobody out in the 8th. They'll get a shot at Papelbon now.

Interesting thought, and it's spilled milk to speak, but if Lofton scores I think Westbrook is left in the game...

Hafner is a stud, big chance to do something huge in October...
Pedroia and Lugo both have trouble getting the ball out of their glove? Something strange going on tonight.

Roob is right, pressure is on players are gripping some, should have been the end of the inning with that missed double play.

Hafner still 0 for the series. Sox should have turned the DP. I don't know if these guys are tightening up or what.

Papelbon gets them out of the inning. Three outs left for the Indians.
Garko gave 'em something to think about with that long flyball out. I'm calling it. Sox win this game, unless Cleveland comes back.

Good call, especially the way you phrased it..
I stand by my prediction. No sense in backing down now, especially the way I phrased it.

Lowell with a solid double. Roob is looking like a prophet tonight. Or he at least knows how to turn a phrase.
Roob could be the next Autumn on this board, if the Sox win of course.

BALL GAME, I Call it Sox will win.

Roob could be the next Autumn on this board, if the Sox win of course.
Or if the Indians come back. 6-2 now after the single by Drew. Six RBIs in the last two games.
JD Drew is the next Mr October? Dude was like batting 200 now he has 6 ribbies in 2 games?

Autumn just hit me up on my cell and made a few noises that nobody could mistake! She said Sox will win tonight and there wont be a 8th game. Genius!
Joel Skinner, 3rd base coach was rumored to be a strong candidate for the Pittsburg Pirate vacant manager's job. I wonder how the Pirates fans feel about picking him as their GM right about now?
Can you imagine the articles in Cleveland newspaper tomorrow? They're going to have a field day blaming this loss on the coaches.

I love Vaaaratk!!
Is that a Hungarian dish? Or the guy that just hit the bloop that the Indians muffed?
Ground rule Double!! Autumn called it!!

Where have I heard it before?
BTW, the Skins won today! Yeah!
Roob could be the next Autumn on this board, if the Sox win of course.
:Afun):Afun) I said it was 6-3, a couple of innings ago, but Rick corrected me and told me it was 5-2 at the time. Oopsie, Blake makes another mental error by running into Jhonny (no that's not a typo) on that popup down the right field line. Another boneheaded play that results in a gift double.

I have a feeling Daddy is going to be listening very closely to Autumn before he puts down any money.

Yes they did, real tough one next week, out on a limb here, Skins will be the first team to beat NE, unless they lose.
Autumn just hit me up on my cell and made a few noises that nobody could mistake! She said Sox will win tonight and there wont be a 8th game. Genius!
You've gotten her a cell phone already?? She'll be texting in the stroller in no time. Like father like daughter.

Pedroia again. Double that clears the bases. OK, what do Roob and Autumn say about the MVP of the series?

Bluetooth already? Is that a genetic thing?
Beckett's my MVP. He's been money every time he takes the mound in the postseason - an automatic W. I presume Autumn agrees.
Autumn just text me, funny you ask. I'll copy and paste it
bo BA do Justin Pedroia MVP boo bo do po PA hue

Rox in 6. Beckett wins games 1 and 5. Rox win all other games.

This thread is mistitled. Game 7 is not tomorrow. Gonna be hard for Chief Wahoo's crew to come back from this deficit.
Anybody think Coco Crisp sees the playing field again in this post-season??? Sox have been on fire with Ellsbury in the lineup. I'll be surprised if Coco is even with the Red Sox next year. He just became expendable. And what's up with Ortiz? Certainly he must be hurt - he's looked horrible in the past few games.

It was tomorrow when I started it yesterday, but since yesterday it is now today so it's not tomorrow anymore. It was titled tomorrow yesterday, which was correct but is not today.

The rooks are doing it for Sox. Great catch by Ellsbery.

Baseballs gods are smart a$$es. Coco Crisp comes into the game as a defensive replacment for Manny (he then switches positions with Ellsbury as he moves to CF). Looks like I should have been more precise. "Anybody think Coco Crisp is in the starting lineup again in this post-season?".
BTW, the Tomorrow or Tonight thread debate is now moot.

Don't really like Boston, but is there any better place to be a professional sports fan right now.
The Pats look like one of the best teams ever, Box Sox with a chance to the WS title, and the Celtics (hate them) are looking like a potential contender in the East.

Lets be honest, after game 4 and the Sox won did anyone really think that the Indians would win the series? I didnt, you just felt like, ut ohhh, someone told this team to turn the switch!

Indians had a Cinderella season and I hurt for them. That has got to be tough. I rejoiced three years ago when the Sox came from three down to beat the Yanks. But I don't dislike the Indians and wouldn't have been disappointed if they had won. Sports can hurt so bad sometimes or feel so good. And in such a short period of time.

You know it's getting bad when Dick Chaney starts threatening you. I only use this bomb for peaceful pursuits - clean energy source. Not sure why Chaney's hassling me.
