None of you are very familiar with the manner in which Cleveland sports teams typically fail in the playoffs, are you? Being inches close to achieving the prize and then having it yanked right out from under their noses at the last possible moment is a hallmark of Cleveland sports franchises. Never count their opponent out. NEEEEEEEEEVERRRRRRRRR.

It's all about Game 6. Carmona has to get them to swing at his sinker and put the ball in play, and the Indians' bats have to get to Old Man Schilling again. If there's a Game 7, it's over. Sox win. The Red Sox will NOT let Dice-K get out of hand, and Beckett will pitch them to a victory if he falters. Nothing the Indians have done has indicated they have the ability to string together a decent inning against him. The closest they came was in the first inning last night (right after Beckett's former gf sang the national anthem - hmm - they should make her their traveling bat girl), and Travis Hafner made sure that didn't go anywhere.
