Are the Indians going to choke?

Up against Boston 3 games to 1.

Folks thought Sabathia could pull it off in Game 5, but he was not that perfect. He still kept it close, better than Game 1, but reliever Perez could not stop 5 runs coming across the plate.

Carmona was also thought to snatch the win for the Tribe. Game 2 was a fluke as well, but it was pretty much the same in Game 6. He only last 2 innings and couldn't finish the third. Even reliever Perez could not end the 3rd inning either, and both pitchers gave Boston a 10-1 lead.

Your two best pitchers were not the best. It makes Westbrook and Byrd look so good in comparison.

Now it's Game 7, the winner faces the Colorado Rockies.

Westbrook will pitch for the Indians, and perhaps Byrd in backup. Boston has Matsuzaka who gave up 4 runs in Game 3. But the Red Sox can also use Beckett in reserve.

If the Indians fall in a deep hole again, Francona will use Beckett if the Indians try to get back in.

So will the Tribe follow the Yankees in letting Boston win from a 3-0 and 3-1 deficit? I seriously hope not.

Everyone in New York would like to see Boston lose. If the Indians cannot do it, then we have to root for the Rockies.
