August 10, 200421 yr :lol haha, yeah this is a spin off of that other thread. and YES it is Marlins related. i was just thinking back to that Indians line up, man that was a scary bunch. i looked up their stats for that year. Omar Vizquel 5 HR/.280 Tony Fernandez 11 HR/.286 Manny Ramirez 26 HR/.328 David Justice 33 HR/.329 Jim Thome 40 HR/.286 Matt Williams 32 HR/.263 Sandy Alomar Jr. 21 HR/.324 Brian Giles 17 HR/.268 Marquis Grissom 12 HR/.262 GOOD LORD! We beat those guys without our 3rd starter (Fernandez) and with our ace losing 2 games?!?!?! wow. Yanks had better pitching though, and it was sweeter beating them. so which is it?
August 10, 200421 yr I don't think some people appreciate how sick that Indians team was. Brain Giles was on there bench :plain
August 10, 200421 yr That '97 team was absolutely digusting, Indians were one hell of the a team in the mid to late 90s. Amazing they didn't win the series
August 10, 200421 yr Pitching - Yankees 504763[/snapback] The Indians pitching was pretty good as well
August 10, 200421 yr That '97 team was absolutely digusting, Indians were one hell of the a team in the mid to late 90s. Amazing they didn't win the series 504765[/snapback] god, that was one exciting world series
August 10, 200421 yr That '97 team was absolutely digusting, Indians were one hell of the a team in the mid to late 90s. Amazing they didn't win the series 504765[/snapback] One hell of a team indeed....I'd say the 97 Indians >>> 03 Yankees
August 10, 200421 yr Didn't 97 go seven games, extra innings? Sounds like it was a tougher team to beat...
August 10, 200421 yr indians they had that sick lineup and had solid pitching, with nagy, ogea, and jaret wright. they came within 2 outs of winning the series (in our park) after being down 3-2, so they were definately tougher than the yanks
August 11, 200421 yr Indians regular season record was 86-75 03 Yankees was a better team (once you factor experience)
August 11, 200421 yr wasnt Sexson and Sean Casey apart of that 97 team too? 504773[/snapback] Yes they were. Sexson was the starting first baseman until Thome moved to 1st base.
August 11, 200421 yr btw, look at this team regular season pitching ERAs (starting rotation) Charles Nagy 4.28 Orel Hershiser 4.47 Chad Ogea 4.99 Bartolo Colon 5.65 Jaret Wright 4.38 all offense, weak pitching
