The Cleveland Indians will win the World Series this year.

[devilandthelord]

Mark it down.

Discuss, debate if you like.
But it's going to happen.
:monkey

[justinandimcool]

They're my horse, but I'm not sure of it at all. I'm just rooting for great games and long series like every year. And for the Cubs/Yanks to lose.

[SoRight24]

Whatever you say, guy. ;)

[dmb41nancies34]

Agree. Nobody expects them to. Despite their recod.

[RiverRat]

Tell me more, stranger...

[DMB0715]

No way. Won't happen. Feel free to bring this back later if it does happen.

[DMBtheStoned]

nope

I didn't say the Sox were guaranteed to win it, I just don't think Cleveland will.

Wasn't aimed at you, just Ants in general. You know I love you.

:lol :lol

Right back at ya.

[SatelliteEyes]

I hope you are right, anyone but the Cubs. But I was at the game this April that was moved from Cleveland to Milwaukee and I had a great time rooting for the Tribe. They are definitely my team this fall.

[JaJunk]

The Brewers will win. oh, wait a minute. Go Cubbies :hump

[devilandthelord]

1 win down. 10 more to go.

[SatelliteEyes]

I like the RedMan. Redman will take down Yankee.

[TheMakerDMB17]

Oh shush Indians fan....(I'm still embarassed about the Reds season :lorraine )

[tommyskid]

indians winning the world series...........AMEN to that brother! they looked awesome last night. if only they can keep the momentum going....i'm crossing my fingers, toes and eyes! :)

[thom hudson]

yeah 1 win against the yanks = world series victory.
you should write for the sporting news.

[rickyh24]

:lol at this thread

[thom hudson]

this just in: the New York Rangers will win the Cup this year, due to the fact that they won their home opener last night. :rolleyes

[Ascf33]

nope

it only makes sense :rolleyes

[devilandthelord]

Don't get mad Yanks fans. You are up against something greater than yourself or your team.
Oh, and Thom, I made this thread before the series started.

there's nothing greater than me.

[Hudak-Budak]

I believe.

i guess we will have to see what happens without your ace on the mound huh?

[Sutmaster6]

I would love to see the Cubs win since the Tigers are out. What history to witness.

[devilandthelord]

Now do you believe?

If all those bugs coming out and making Joba Chamberlain lose his stuff and throw two wild pitches to tie up the game I don't know what is.

[crashintome202]

nope, they're the tigers of 07

[dmb41nancies34]

What a win. Terrible offense all game, but they never gave up and our pitching was stellar.

[SatelliteEyes]

nope, they're the tigers of 07

What the hell does that even mean? Are you actually predicting they'll make it to the WS and then their pitchers will forget how to field ground balls and throw them to first?

[devilandthelord]

The pitching was fierce.

[devilandthelord]

nope, they're the tigers of 07

And the Yankees are....

... the Yankees of every year since 2001.

[PipeandaCrepe]

anyone notice the AL central has put out the surprise winning teams the past few years? indians will go to the WS this year. and next year the twins will do it

[crashintome202]

you can thank the playoff format for that

The Indians weren't much of a surprise. They played well below their Pythagorean expectation last year. In 2006 their record was 74-88, but their pythagorean expectation was 89-73.

[Patsfan39]

The Indians are an excellent team. if the sox lose to them in the ALCS i will not be too upset. they have three legitimate top of the rotation pitchers with Sabathia, Carmona and Westbrook. the back of their bullpen has been good with borowski and their offense has a bunch of good hitters. any team will have a hard time with them.

[SatelliteEyes]

The playoff format is responsible for the White Sox, Tigers and Indians having the best regular season records the in 2005, 2006 and 2007? (Or almost the best in the case of the Tigers)

Do tell how you figure that.

i've been drikning and this means nothing to me

[SatelliteEyes]

Translation - I saw it coming, so did a lot of others. The Indians are very good.

tigers looked like shit at the end of the season and outside of the twins their divison sucked

let this be my official call for the twins next year then. Twins WS... or at least winning the division. then after that.... the royals get theirs

Um, incorrect.

[SatelliteEyes]

Well the Indians dont exactly look like shit, and their division was better was pretty good, too.

[devilandthelord]

Yeah, the division is pretty good, and the Indians tore it up down the stretch this year.

[bbwaverider91]

not a chance

[PipeandaCrepe]

when did writing "um" before sentences become a trend?

i know its been going on a while but who started it? $10 to the person who finds the earliest post prefaced with "um"

[rcarlsn612]

Just got back from the game, AMAZING!!! Fausto pitched a gem, the energy was incredible, and I really think we demoralized the Yanks tonight.
C.C. for the Cy Young And Carmona should be in the top 5 in voting. Trade for Lofton was a GREAT move

p.s. Rafael Bentencourt and Joe Bo havn't even had to pitch yet, things are looking great

[Tomato42]

hhah

[devilandthelord]

hhah

Hey it almost happened.
If they (read C.C.) hadn't completely choked against the Red Sox in the last 3 games of the series, they definitely would have beaten the Rockies and won it all.

Do you still consider yourself a Tribe fan?

Just curious....

Topped for curiosity.
