Red Sox vs Indians

Dice-K vs Westbrook

8:23PM on Fox

Right now in the top of the 10th as Jon Papelbon is blowing away Johnny Peralta on strikes, Tim McCarver is talking non-stop Indians.

Why is Fox so anti-Red Sox?

EDIT: Bottom of the 10th…David Ortiz not running hard?  What are you looking at Tim McCarver?  Hes not a fast guy!  He came close to beating out the shift on that ground ball!

EDIT 2:  So i guess Im live blogging now, Gagne in, Casey Blake strikes out swinging, 1 out, Grady Sizemore singles to right, McCarver loves the Indians, Gagne walks some guy named As-something Cabrara, old friend Trot Nixon pinch hitting, men on 1st and 2nd.  Javier Lopez replaces Eric Gagne, Trot Nixon singles to center, Sizemore scores, 7-6 Indians, Lopez blows it!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Passed ball, Cabarera scores, Indians take a 2 run lead 8-6.  Jason Micheals pinch running for Trot at 2nd.  Victor Martinez is intentionally walked, Ryan Garko singles to center, Micheals scores, up 9-6.  Lopez getting pulled.  Damn, Damn, Damn, 393 pitches thrown, wow, Jon Lester in, his first appearance in the post-season.  Peralta doubles down the LF line, 10-6 Indians.  runners on 2nd and 3rd, Kenny Lofton up.  Awesome, F Gutierrez homers to LF, 13-6 Cleveland.  Sox are down 7,  I’m going to assume we are tied 1-1 and hit the sack.

Well back again for another installment of my MLB playoff predictions, so without further ado, MY PICKS

NLCS - Rockies vs Diamondbacks

Winner - Diamondbacks in 6

The Rockies wild ride comes to an end, albeit a slow ending. I think the Diamondbacks pitching is to strong, and as a team, I feel this is a team that can win it all. The Rockies do come in the hottest team in baseball, but I think the Diamonbacks are too good to be swept up in it

ALCS - Red Sox vs Indians

Winner - Red Sox in 5 (no not because I am homer)

I think the Sox depth at pitching will win them the series. I don’t think Westbrook can beat the Sox, and I don’t think Carmona can either. Sabbitha is a beast, both as a pitcher, and a man, but the Sox have Josh Beckett, who seems to love pitching in the Playoffs, which will cancel out the Sabbitha issue. I also think the Red Sox can hit better than any other team left in the playoffs, so yeah, this one won’t be very close.

Next Week, we will have my World Series Predictions.

I’m in class so here’s a brief prediction of this years first round of MLB playoffs.

Yankees over Indians in 3 - Yanks swept the regular season series, so why would the post-season be any different.

Red Sox over the Angels in 5 - Didn’t this happen in 2004?

Cubs over Arizona in 5 - Bartman cant ruin it this time

Phillies over Colorado in 5 - Baseballs 2 hottest teams clash, somebody has to lose.

Ok so I figured I would give my rundown of each series, and how its going to play out (Well at least how I think its going to play out). Today we will start with the AL, tomorrow Morning will be the NL Divisional Series. Then the Championship series and World series will be addressed later this week. So without further ado, my predictions.
