Boston came home and blew the Indians away, and it’s not looking good for the boys from Cleveland:
BOSTON — They have a knack, these Red Sox do. It’s impossible to deny now. The Sox have a knack for comebacks.
OK, OK, so it’s true, too, that the Indians have done their part in helping the Sox with their latest up-from-the-dead act. Truth be told, in this American League Championship Series, it’s sometimes hard to figure out who’s pulling off the biggest comeback — the Sox, pushing off elimination to make it a series with two straight wins, or the Indians, who have clearly come back down to earth.
Whatever the case, the ALCS is even now at three games apiece, necessitating a deciding Game 7 Sunday night at Fenway Park with a ride to the World Series going to the winner. Not surprisingly, the Indians are a little down in the mouth at the whole prospect of letting the Sox back in this thing. Chief Wahoo is definitely not wa-hooing at the moment.
Tonight it’s Jake Westbrook vs. Dice-K. Not a good matchup if you’re an Indians fan.
Even worse for Cleveland is today’s news that Paul Byrd bought $25K worth of HGH and syringes.
