Game 1:

12

3

Game 2:

2

1 11 innings

Game 3:

4

8

Game 4:

6

4

Game 1-At Jacobs Field in Cleveland (Wang vs Sabathia)
Game 2-At Jacobs Field in Cleveland
Game 3-At Yankee Stadium in New York City
Game 4-At Yankee Stadium in New York City
Game 5-At Jacobs Field in Cleveland

Another fantastic series. The Indians have great hitting (Hafner, Sizemore, and Ryan Garko) and they have one of the best pitchers in the league C.C. Sabathia. The Yankees never faced Sabathia this year.
The Yankees have A-Rod, Jeter, Cano, and Matsui with great pitching from Wang in 2007.

The Yankees lost to the Tigers last year in the ALDS. The Indians last playoffs were in 2001 when they lost to the Seattle Mariners lost in the ALDS.

I'm going for the Yankee sweep. When it comes to October Baseball, the Yanks are amazing to watch.

You do realize the Yankees have lost in the DS the past 2 years, right? Nothing amazing about that.

That being said, I have Yankees in 4. I think the Indians win game 3 against Clemens.

Yankees in 5. Facing Sabathia and Carmona in the first two games is scary as hell.

I wish Cleveland would win but it's not going to happen.

Takes 4 games for the Yankees to put them out.

Yanks in 4

If we win game 1, could be a sweep. I have no concerns about Pettitte vs Carmona, and Sabathia has actually been pretty awful against the Yanks (although he hasn't pitched vs us since 2004, guys like ARod and Jeter have ridiculous numbers against him). And in a team like the Indians falls behind 2-0, they won't know what to do once they walk into Yankee Stadium with Clemens on the mound and will be swept.

If the Indians take game 1, the Yanks will win it in 4. I'm not expecting a Yankee win Thurs, it is just bonus if they pick up a win in game 1. Also, the Yankees are 8-2 in series under Joe Torre when they lose game 1, and one of the series they lost was the 2001 WS to the DBacks. So if they lose game 1, there is plenty of reason to believe the Yanks will be fine...especially with Pettitte on the mound in game 2 after a loss then Clemens vs Westbrook in Yankees Stadium in game 3. Depending on what happens in game 3, maybe Cleveland would bring Sabathia back on 3 days rest? If not, the Yanks will just feast on Byrd and end it in 4.

damn my boys are getting no love on this site...hopefully they can change throughout this series

Go Tribe!!!

I think the tribe will come out early and grab Game 1. Then the Yankees will go on to win games 2, 3, and 4.

Thanks.

Mets in...

Oh, sorry, I forgot.

I guess I haven't seen you troll as much so I figured something went terribly wrong.

Yanks in 5. Booya.

Indians in 5. I think Cleveland takes a 2-0 lead, and then they close it out in Game 5 with CC on the mound.

No, you're always lurking on the Yankees board after a loss. That's when you come out. Now that the Mets have sucked, of course you haven't been around.

Don't worry though, 'ya gotta believe.

I'm going to have to go Indians in 5, although it should be a great series and I could see the Yanks winning it in 5.

Way to show some class, the guy actually has something productive to say and you go do something like this so the thread can become a battle between the two of you.
