We had a long run with a young team. I am extremely proud of this team and no matter what happens will always be an Indians fan.

There's the post deserving of a GPA.

As disappointed as I am right now, I still love this team, and I'm still proud to be a Cleveland fan. I cannot label a team "pathetic" that finishes the regular season tied for the best record in the majors and takes the ALCS to game 7. No matter how this season ended, it was still a good one, and it leaves a lot of optimism for the next several years.

I appreciate the opptimism ,but tell that story to the World Series champions last year and the Detroit Tigers

It's not even close to a given this team reaches the post-season next year

We had a team down 3-1 in the ALCS........we blew it big-time....nice season yes, but who knows when this opportunity represnts itself

We certainly learned a lot, such things as you must throw strikes to get outs, so hopefully we make next years post season to show our new gained wisdom

Plus, it is possible to score from 3rd if the left-fielder hasn't picked the ball up yet

This series started going downhill for the Tribe when we allowed Manny to admire his solo shot in Cleveland and never drilled him or anyone else. Yet, Boston throws right at Guitirez's head and we still do nothing. It was like we played aggresive and won 3 straight, then played scared. Not just the pitchers, but the batters even had the deer in the lights look on their face when they came to bat. How in the world does Hafner come up with all thise runners on and whif every at bat? Skinner blew any chance the Tribe had of winning this game when he held up Lofton and then all the air came out of the sails when Blake grounded into the double play. Sabathia and Hafner stunk it up the whole post season. Another difficult collapse for the city of Cleveland. I did become a Rockies fan after the lst out, becasue no matter how much we screed this series up those kids played with class, unlike the Red Sox.

nope. Casey Blake ended the series with two errors and a swing at the first pitch with runners at the corners and one out and grounding into a DP. he single handedly killed any rally the Tribe had going, and let Boston gain momentum by giving them base runners instead of outs.

the game was over after 7 innings. the only question was the margin... i turned it off in the eighth. i've seen that movie before.

Game 7 flukes not the problem; outscored 30-5 is Tribe has 3 chances but fails to close out series
Published on Monday, Oct 22, 2007
BOSTON: Forget the decision to hold Kenny Lofton at third base in the seventh inning.
Forget that Lofton was called out at second on a drive off the wall when replays showed he was safe.
Forget a lot of that stuff.

Indians suffer Monster letdown

Posted by Paul Hoynes October 22, 2007 01:16AM

Categories: Indians in the Playoffs
Boston -- The postseason is hypnotic. The push and pull of it entraps and snares and refuses to let go.
Pitch by pitch, game by game, night by night, it goes and goes and goes.
It ended for the Indians on Sunday night at Fenway Park in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. The coils that held the Indians in place for 21 days in October snapped under the tension of a bad seventh inning as Boston won its third straight elimination game to advance to the World Series with an 11-2 victory.

Indians in the Playoffs: Mark Gillispie's On the Scene


Boston police out in full force for Game 7

Posted by Mark Gillispie October 21, 2007 20:16PM

The feeling around Fenway Park before Sunday night's Game 7 of the American League Championship Series had a decidedly different feel than before the previous three games.
People on the streets around Fenway seemed almost subdued. Maybe it's because it's Sunday. Perhaps the import of this seventh and deciding game against the Indians.
"They are serene," said a Boston police sergeant. "I've been in and out of the bars and nobody's drunk yet."

Base-running decisions put stop on Cleveland Indians


Monday, October 22, 2007Joe Maxse
Plain Dealer Reporter
Boston- To run or not to run.
Kenny Lofton found himself faced with that dilemma more than once on Sunday night. And both times the situations did not work out in favor of the Indians in their 11-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox in the deciding game of the American League Championship Series.
The play that will go under the microscope took place in the seventh before matters got out of hand. With one out and the Tribe down, 3-2, Boston shortstop Julio Lugo dropped Lofton's pop fly down the third-base line to put him at second.

Boston Red Sox say doubt never entered minds of players after trailing Cleveland Indians


Monday, October 22, 2007Mary Schmitt Boyer
Plain Dealer Reporter
Boston- As the final out nestled into Coco Crisp's glove at the wall in center field, the Boston Red Sox burst out of the dugout as one, congregating near home plate in an undulating mass that moved across the mound and settled near second base.
Finally, the players broke apart to don American League Championship hats and T-shirts and headed to the clubhouse for bottles of champagne and cans of beer in the traditional victory party after their decisive 11-2 victory over the Indians in Game 7 on Sunday night in Fenway Park.

Cleveland Indians first baseman Ryan Garko's quote taken out of context


Monday, October 22, 2007Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
Boston -- On the locker-room door to Boston's clubhouse before Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday was a story quoting Indians first baseman Ryan Garko saying, "Champagne tastes just as good on the road as it does at home."
Boston then went out and pounded the Indians, 12-2, to force Sunday night's seventh and final game. Garko says it's the right quote about the wrong series.
"When I said that, I was talking about the Yankee series," said Garko before Game 7. "It had nothing to do with the Boston series. Hey, you live and you learn."

Waiting continues for Cleveland Indians and their fans, Bud Shaw says


Monday, October 22, 2007Bud Shaw
Plain Dealer Columnist
Boston
- With their best pitchers soiling the best memories of the season, the Indians tried to run the Boston Marathon with a refrigerator on their back.
As decisively as they threw away a 3-1 series lead and then the series itself, what happened is still shocking, unbelievable. What a fold.
