Even if they lose this series, I won’t be disappointed.I think I’d be a little disappointed if they lost to Cleveland because I truly believe the Sox have the better team. But I agree anything from this point forward is just the cherry on top of the most unpredictable season in history

2 hours ago2 hr I feel like I felt after the 2008 regular season. Winning the division from the Twins was so rewarding I didn't really feel much when they lost to Tampa in the ALDS. That said this series is much more winnable than that one, Tampa in 2008 was a juggernaut. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Green Line

But Cleveland? I am going to go with my man Jo Noah on this one.

Hopefully all of you believers put up and made a lot of money, because it was free money for those who believed all along. Just remember Gage and Soxtalk with those millions.
2 hours ago2 hr Sorry I have zero sympathy for Cleveland fans. They get to watch mostly very good baseball’s for 30 straight years, many hall of famers. Boo hoo you don’t get second contracts.Losers.

Doesn’t mean the Sox can’t win, but regular season head to head stats mean nothing now. Just ask the Astros.

Just ask the Astros.Well obviously, but there is nothing there that tells us the Sox can’t compete/win this series. 2 very evenly matched teams that may ultimately come down to who doesn’t make the mental mistakes and can play clean baseball

Boo hoo you don’t get second contracts.Losers.It's still amazing to me those 90s Cleveland teams didn't win at least one world series. Yeah they had the New York juggernaut starting in 1998 but '95-'97 were right there for them.

1 hour ago1 hr Series prediction: Guardians in 5These teams played each other awfully close in the regular season. The White Sox won seven of 13 games, and the aggregate score was 58-57 in Chicago's favor, with seven of the contests decided by one run and four ending in walk-off fashion. Those narrow margins suggest this series could go the distance, which makes me inclined to tilt slightly toward the team with home-field advantage and more experience navigating high-stakes October games. Chicago is fully capable of pulling the upset here, and based on how the season series played out, it arguably wouldn't be much of an upset. But I'll lean toward the Guardians here on account of that elevated experience and their advantage on the mound. — Shustermanyahoo.com/sports

We probably won't see much of Antonacci, Braden, but Grichuk should be playing pretty much 90% of every gameMy under the radar dude who I think is going to make a name for himself and surprise a lot of people this series is Brenton Doyle.
