100 Reasons the Indians won't win the World Series:
1-100) The Boston Red Sox
Somewhere in the middle you can scatter around:
Manny Ramirez - He's gone from 4th to 6th gear in the playoffs and I believe that his walk-off from the other night is still flying. I've had a man crush on Manny for several years and it looks like it won't end for awhile.
Josh Beckett - 3 shutouts in 6 career postseason starts. Now that is titties.
Papelbon - An animal. Lights out.
Big Papi - Clutch, and got better as the year progressed. Ortiz/Ramirez possibly the best 3/4 combo in the history of baseball.
Curt Schilling - Curt Schilling....and 9-2 in the postseason.
Dice-K - Gyro ball
The Indians have a great 1, 2 in CC and Carmona but I'll put my money on the Red Sox hitters over Cleveland's hitters. While I'm at it, I'll take Boston's pitchers over Cleveland's pitchers and I'll give Borowski at 7.00 ERA for the Series.
Ivan, I got five on it.
In other news, I watched Rocky Balboa a few nights ago. I really had my doubts about the movie in the beginning. But as the movie progressed, I got into it. In fact, in my opinion, Rocky Balboa holds its own with the classic Rocky movies. I think Sly Stallone tied the whole story together very well and it was a great movie to end the series on. The fight scenes (however few there are) are pretty impressive and look much different than the Rockies of old. Antonio Tarver certainly didn't look like he was in fight shape, and could use some work on those acting skills, but I think he helped in making the fight scenes look a little more believable.....even though Sly is some 60 years old. The movie critic in me says it's a good watch. Netflix it.
The NBA season is almost upon us. I will have my Fantasy Hoops (the only game I'm consistently good at) sleeper picks later and I don't have much to say about the season yet. But I will say that I greased up the ball-bearings and filled the tank with premium unleaded on the Phoenix Suns bandwagon-0-rama. Another year of me expressing my love for the Suns, Steve Nash, and Shawn Marion (yes, my love doesn't falter even when the Matrix acts like a little baby). If you love good basketball, it is your responsibility to watch as many Suns games as possible. It is fun basketball at its pinnacle. As long as there are no shenanigans like last year, this should be Phoenix's year to win the Finals. Throw in a little down-to-earth Grant Hill, and I say it's a must.
Finally, my fantasy football squad is 4-1 this year. It's just another sign that the stars are again aligned as they should be.

Not so fast Oil Can...
You are master of the obvious with Beckett & Manny so you get an A for that.
Papelbon is not Rivera
One should eat a Gyro not throw it. Gyros in Cleveland are big and fat just like what Dice-K throws. He should go back to food of his own nationality.
Ketchup sock Schilling is at tail end and applying for a job, I over heard his promo the other day ... Now back to Rush Limbaugh and Curt Schilling the 2 most holier than thou people in the world.
As they say, that is why they play the games, hence the reason your fantasy football team is 4 -1.
Go Tribe
