Injuns, Injuns, Injuns..
No one is talking about them....they finished strong and faced the best pitching division in baseball.

NYY
I'm very concerned about the starting pitching. Wang is a different pitcher on the road. Do you start him in game 1 in Cleveland, against Sabbatia? What is Clemens' status. I'm not ready to believe that Moose is back to old form. Yanks catching a little break in playing Tribe instead of Angels. Just hope pitching shows up. Can't believe there was talk about Torre's future after this year.

I'd rate the Yankees at about a 25 percent chance to reach the World Series, same as Cleveland, Boston, and the Angels. Yankees have the worst starting pitching of the 4, but the best offense. Cleveland has the worst offense of the 4 but the 2 best starting pitchers, the best set up men and the worst closer. Boston has Beckett, a good offense comparable to NY with Manny back and struggling relief pitchers. LA, might be the most solid top to bottom of the 4 with all aspects of the game included. I'll go with Cleveland as a Cleveland team has to completely succeed all the way through at some point don't they??

Say what u want about the guy. Talk about his playoff history all u want. But he's currently at .314, 54 homers, 156 rbi and 143 runs scored. Throw in 24 steals for good measure. Truly one of the outstanding seasons in the history of the game.
In the history of baseball, here are the seasons for guys with 50 homers, 140 rbi and 140 runs: Sosa, 2001..........64 hr, 160 rbi, 146 runs Ruth, 1927...........60, 164, 158 Ruth, 1921..........59, 171, 177 Foxx, 1932...........58, 169, 151 Greenberg, 1938.....58, 146, 144 Wilson, 1930.........56, 191, 146 Ruth, 1928............54, 142, 163 Rodriguez, 2007......54, 156, 143 So there have only been six guys and eight performances. He's only the third guy in the last 70 years. He's one of only four guys to hit 50+ homers in three different seasons, along with Ruth, Sosa and McGwire.

Cleveland is a dangerous team that looks a lot like the Tigers of last year. Have a strong lineup, good defense, especially in the outfield when Sizemore and Lofton are playing together, dangerous power guy in the middle of the lineup in Hafner and a really clutch catcher in Martinez (though he is not a good defensive catcher and has been hurt). They have two very good starters and a pretty good bullpen with a shaky closer.
LA seems to banged up (Vlad especially) to make a strong run. They do have very strong top of the rotation in Lackey, Escobar and Weaver. If they can move Saunders to the bullpen that would help them quite a bit as they have been struggling with the exception of Krod. But they struggle to score and without a healthy Vlad the struggle will not be any easier. NYY have been winning with the big lineup. Arod has been unbelievable and most of the lineup has been playing well including Cano and Posada. The starters stilll are shaky and they need Wang to come through. Pettite has always been a tough pitcher but Clemens and Mussina are really shaky and Hughes has not been sharp. The bullpen has been much better since the elimination of Proctor and emergence of Joba. Interesting to see if they adjust the Joba rules in an important spot. Mariano is clutch as always though he is not nearly as untouchable as he once was. BoSox have playoff tested pitching staff and top closer. Okjima being hurt does not help and they need big innings from Gagne. If Ortiz and Ramirez are healthy enough to play everyday, the lineup will be just fine. If JD Drew ever wakes up out of his decade long slumber, the Sox will be tough to beat. Cannon Shell picks BoSox over LA 3-1 Cleveland over Yankees 3-2 BoSox over Cleveland 4-2
