I had a conversation with J on Friday about why I thought the Red Sox would win games 6 & 7- because many of them seem to not be human in the way they handle pressure. Much like the group that found a way to fight back versus the Yankees a few seasons back, this Red Sox team is just odd the way they approach pressure situations.
During game 5, there was a camera shot of the Red Sox dugout that showed a few players having what looked like a sesame seed shell-spitting contest. Alright, you're down 3-1, whattya do? Act like a 10-year old playing a little league game. I don't think the Indians really acted like they were feeling pressure until game 7...understandably so. Some will say pitching killed the Indians, I'd argue that the Sox bats and demeanor killed the Indians. If one guy got cold another seemed to step up each time almost seemlessly.
So onto the World Series we go. I predict the Red Sox in 6.

Does "we" mean "we, the citizens of the United States who happen to watch baseball" or does it mean "we, the Red Sox"?
I'd argue that you identify yourself as a Red Sox fan, even though you clearly state that you don't like baseball. The primary reason for identifying yourself that way being that you hate the Yankees.
I can understand that, but I don't think it's fair to call yourself a fan of the team when you dislike the sport they play.
When they were saying "Its Tribe Time Now", they must have meant that very moment, because their time seemed to run out on 10/26.
I agree with you Ryan, I think the BoSox will win, mostly because Colorado has been sitting around making snow angels.
Fair point Tim...It's really fair to say I'm not a real fan. I don't really claim to be one either. I think baseball is one of the worst sports to watch on TV EXCEPT during the post-season. I love watching baseball in person...and really enjoyed watching the Red Sox in Fenway when I lived in the Boston area. Like I've always said, I'm not a baseball fan, but I root for the Red Sox...and I hate the Yankees.
"We" means all of mankind.
