October 7, 200818 yr Does anybody else think that the ALCS this year between the Red Sox and Rays is going to be the 3rd best of this decade? (I can't just past 20 years or so, only became a baseball fan in early early '03.) Don't think you can top the 2003/2004 ALCS of the Sox/Yanks (cause of the excitement of the '03 one going back and forth, with the brawl in game 3 or 4, and the comeback in '04), but I think this would be ranked as the 3rd best ALCS of this decade. My thoughts why: Both teams have good pitching and defense, meaning the games should most likely be close. Two different styles of offense which can lead to back and forth games. While the Red Sox have an offense that can pounce on you and score a lot of runs, the Rays will get you with speed and small ball, with the main core of power in the middle, which also leads to usually a decent amount of scoring. Anyone else have any thoughts for or against this?
October 7, 200818 yr I give the series to the Rays. They have the better pitching. The offenses should equalize since the Rays are playing at home.
October 7, 200818 yr Author Question was whether you think it was going to be #3 (if not top 5) ALCS series of this decade.
October 7, 200818 yr I dont think it will be better than the 03 or 04. I think one team probably wins in 6 or 5. ITs going to be hard to match the sox and yanks cause of the rivalry they have had for so long.
October 7, 200818 yr world series: Red Sox vs Dodgers "Manny goes back to Boston" we were talking about that today, that would be so awesome. Hard for me to root against the Rays this series though...
October 7, 200818 yr I'd rather see Dodgers/Rays because that would mean I'd get to hear a whole offseason of Sox fans saying they would have made the WS if they had Manny... oh and I don't like the Sox but do like the Rays... so that's that
October 7, 200818 yr It could be. honestly, i dont care about this series. I just wanna see them go at it and get into a couple of brawls.
