As you know, I was stuck in work limbo last night and all day today, therefore couldn't give any real analysis as to why the Tribe lost. All I know is that everything i've had the chance to read are pieces blowing Josh Beckett and ripping C.C. Sabathia; rightfully so on both sides. What happened to the C.C. we saw all season who challenged hitters and through nothing but strikes? And what has happened to Travis Hafner's bat? He is looking like the mid-July, early August Pronk who looked completely lost at the plate. Not a great time to lose his confidence. Are you worried yet Tribe fans? I believe we will see the real Fausto Carmona tomorrow night. To quote one of my closest adversaries, "I believe our #2 starter may have bigger stones than our #1 starter." Regardless, tomorrow night should be interesting. I know nobody wants to see a Game Seven. Especially me. The fact still remains the Red Sox have yet to win a game this series that wasn't started by Josh Beckett.Enjoy these takes:
