    If you fade the Indians in the WS.....................

    You are flushing money down the crapper.

    Doesn't matter if it's LA or Cubs, that pitching staff 1 through 10 is on a mission from God.
    Oh, by the way, that line up can rake too.

    Don't fight it, Cleveland is destiny's child.

    Define CInderella then, Cleveland has the second best record in the AL one game off of Texas and won the division in a sleep walk.

    Do what you want, I've been eating sleeping and shitting baseball my whole life.
    Indians are 1990 Reds all over again.
    Nasty boy Reds were +220 'dogs against Bash Brothers A's

    No way Reds were winning that series, right?
    Lucky to get one win, right?

    How'd that work out for Oakland (broom sweep)

    I interpretted "Cinderella" as underdog.
    KC were 'dogs in that series.

    Oh, there have been plenty of Cinderella's in World Series history.
    1990 Reds
    1996 Yanks, Braves were 2:1 favorites there
    1997 Fish
    2001 Snakes
    2003 Fish
    2008 Phils

    And on and on

    In 1954 Indians were 3:1 favorites over the Giants
    1954 Indians won 111 games (154 game season)
    They had Bob Feller and one of the greatest pitching staffs assembled.
    Giants as three to one dogs steamrolled them 4 games straight.

    The layoff will hurt them. The team with the longer layoff often loses the world series.

    Good points on some of them, Colorado wasn't winning in 2007 though whether it was one hour rest or one year rest.
    You would think Mets would have benefited from the layoff last year.

    Who is the best starting pitcher the Indians have faced in the postseason? Not saying they'll lose, but it'll definitely be tougher regardless of who advances
