LeBron James knows better than any of us: There is no way the Cleveland Indians can overcome the dynastic onslaught of the New York Yankees. I mean, even if we win all of the games they're still moving on in the playoffs, and everyone in Cleveland will have to go back to watching Drew Carey and dying in the burning river or whatever it is we do here.
I, for one, support our new ant overlords. More after the jump.

Last night in game one of the AL Divisional Playoffs, the Cleveland Indians scored 12 runs on 14 hits to defeat the New York Yankees by 9. Does this mean the Yankees lost game one?
|
 |
DontFireEric: Absolutely not. /talks over some highlights
The New York Yankees have played consistently great baseball all year and are always a force, I just don't think that they'd have a game where they lost by 9 runs.
|
 |
DontFireEric: Impact players like A-Rod and Jeter are set to come alive, and I think when they actually play game one for real you'll see a different outcome. |
 |
LandPhill: Y'know you're absolutely right, this year Chien-Ming Wang had 19 wins and an ERA of 3.70, I could sit here and list off statistics for this guy all day! And I will. WHIP 1.29, 0 saves, 350 strikeouts, 22 complete games, 430 strikeouts... |
 |
LandPhill: C.C. Sabathia on the otherhand is an overweight, unattractive man, and you know, I just don't think he's going to bring his A-game |
 |
DontFireEric: y'know you're absolutely right, there's nyoooo way Cleveland has the firepower to stop Wang, Joba Chamberlain, and Mariano Rivera Steve. |
 |
LandPhill: y'know you're absolutely right
|
 |
DontFireEric: y'know
|
 |
LandPhill: I can't believe we're in agreement here, a huh! huh! Heyah! Huh! Clearly those highlights don't show the whole picture and y'know guys, 12-3 means nothing, wait until game one starts and talking point talking point talking point, guys.
|
|
**Online Host Karl Ravech** Said outfielder Johnny Damon, "Three losses and we're heading home. It would be too tough to overcome a deficit of 2-0 against this team." Your thoughts on this?
|
 |
DontFireEric: Johnny Damon is a smart guy and one of the best hitters in the history of baseball, but he clearly don't understand how math works
|
 |
LandPhill: y'know I agree with you there, I mean, what's this guy talking about! A 2-0 deficit? Three losses and they're heading home? What do these words mean!
|
 |
DontFireEric: I don't know, when I don't know what words mean I just put in words like "gutsy performance" or "really focused on"
|
 |
LandPhill: what Johnny Damon is saying here is that he's really getting focused on winning the World Series for the Bronx Bombers this year, and after his gutsy performance in completing a paragraph full of sentences, he just might be right
|
 |
DontFireEric: It's just too late for the Cleveland Indians to make an impression
|
|
LandPhill: lol oh my god i know, I've been saying that since August
|

|
 |
KrukThePolice: thanks, I had to stand way back
|
|
**Online Host Karl Ravech** In the National League Divisional Series the Colorado Rockies are up two games to none on the Philadelphia Phillies. What do you think the chances are of the Phillies regrouping and coming back with a victory in game three?
|
 |
KrukThePolice: y'know, I played for the Yankees for six years and I know how the organization works from the inside out, and y'know I just don't think they've enough of a chance to make an impression
|
 |
KrukThePolice: i'm gonna say the boston red sox take it in three, karl |
