Three Down...

Three down and one win to go for the Tribe to clinch their birth in the 2007 MLB World Series! Tribe Time Now!!! Game four was a roller coaster of emotion at best and I will be the first to admit that it was worrisome when the Bo-Sox hit three homers in a row. Here is what ESPN page 2 had to say about Manny's:

"When Manny went deep, my first thought was, 'Quit posing, Manny, we're still down 7-3.' Then it dawned on me that Manny probably had no idea what the score was. In fact, he probably isn't aware that baseball games are determined by which team scores more runs. Manny's only point of differentiation comes when, after hitting a home run, he sees his teammates waiting for him at home plate -- it's at that point he knows it's time to go to the strip club."

Hilarious I know! However, after those three homers the Tribe's bullpen once again came through in winning fashion to cling to there 7-3 lead, which would turn into a 3-1 series lead.

Tomorrow the Tribe will look to C.C. Sabathia to not only win the series for them but to also throw what would be considered his best start of the playoffs against Boston's ace Beckett. I truly believe that C.C. will rise to the occasion and throw a gem tomorrow night, as the old saying goes, "Winning is contagious," look for C.C. to continue the winning ways his teammates and fellow pitchers have begun.

However, I also believe that C.C. needs this start to be one of the best and biggest of his career if he has any chance of securing the A.L. Cy Young Award. I know this award is supposed to be presented based solely on regular season stats and performance, but lets be honest it would be hard for anyone to ignore a gem thrown in game 5 of the ALCS, that would earn his team a birth in the World Series! So, remember as the clock strikes 8:00PM tomorrow evening to drop everything and turn on the television because it is Tribe Time Now!
