The question now is how many games the Sox win before the series is over....I give them one.

It was a real question if they'd win the one.

I get that he wasn't popular, but this move apparently disproves the adage that "winning solves everything"

I thought they were a shoo in to make the WS when the season started. They had dominating pitching on paper but it didn't come through for them so the manager pays.
If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Chuck Norris says its beef, then it's beef.

He wasn't a great manager, but firing him is not going to solve that team's problems.

The Red Sox mystify me. They're a pretty good team on paper, though sporting pitching depth is iffy, but they should do damage. Yet two years in a row they've gotten their asses kicked in the ALDS.

And of course the Indians lost. Luckily, I've picked enough teams to cheer for who consistently fall apart in the playoffs (Penguins being the exception) that I'm used to collapses by now.  :buck2:

Suck it.

I will suck deep from delicious victory. Tastes like the sublime tears of Yankee fans.

How'd that sucking work out for ya'?

I forget if it's five or six, but, Cleveland has lost the closeout game of a series that many times in a row.  That's almost Red Sux-ian of them!
