The Boston Red Sox will play the Cleveland Indians beginning Friday Night for the right to play in the World Series against either Colorado or Arizona. The barnstorming Yankees (who still suck) blew their load just getting to the post season and didn't have enough pitching to force another Yanks/Sox showdown.
The key to victory over the Indians will be whether Josh Beckett, Curt Schilling and Dice-K Matsusaka can out pitch Sabathia and Carmona. I wanted the Yankees to push the series to 5 games so Sabathia would be tired versus the Sox.
The hitters will have to hit too. Big Papi and Manny Ramirez are ON FIRE, let's hope they stay that way! It's about people playing big on the big stage-and there's no hitting duo bigger and badder than Manny and Papi.
I hate this long layoff between the ALDS and the ALCS. I'm too filled with anticipation. Once the series starts, I'll settle into a rhythm. A good baseball rhythm. In the meantime, I'll read up on the stats, the players and I'll take another look at the match ups from this season.
Friday can't get here soon enough.
Red Sox March to Playoffs!
