7 Reasons Why The Red Sox Won't Win The ALCS

It's not officially over yet (if Beckett wins tomorrow and Daisuke can pitch like he should on Saturday, you never know what could happen Sunday...) but the 2007 Red Sox seem to be taking their last breaths. Here is a list of seven reasons why the Cleveland Indians will be taking on the Colorado Rockies in the World Series: 7. The Red Sox starting pitching -- other than Beckett -- has been a complete disaster. Did anyone tell Curt Schilling, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Tim Wakefield that ALCS games last all nine innings? 6. Coco Crisp is an automatic out. As Jacoby Ellsbury sits and watches. 5. Eric Gagne is doing his best Byung-Hung Kim impersanation. Not one that will be seen on Frank TV any time in the near future. 4. Dustin Pedroia looks more like the overwhelmed rookie we saw in April than the hit machine we saw from May through the ALDS. And really, who saw that coming? 3. Big Papi's knee is killing him. Ortiz is still hitting but imagine if he were 100%. 2. Terry Francona has been way too loyal. Come on Tito, put Bobby Kielty and Ellsbury in tomorrow night and leave them there until the season ends. 1. J.D. Drew sucks. Do you think he even cares? I don't. Hopefully he decides to earn that $70-million over the next four years. Maybe next year. That is, unless Beckett wins tonight and Daisuke figures it out Saturday and Schilling is Schill on Sunday...
