Do you think the Tribe can stick it to Josh Beckett and the Red Sox tonight in Cleveland?

To answer the first part of your question in a word, no. Considering Josh Beckett has pitched in more than one season ending game situation. And he has yet to fail. He could be in for a let down type of night but, I wouldn't bet on it. His press conference comments indicated he is relaxed and he will go out there and pitch how he's been pitching all season. I don't see Josh Beckett pitching more than 100 pitches and if he does shut the Indians bats down that should take him to the 8th inning if not all 9. If it comes to Papelbon closing the game for the save I will be willing to bet the series will go back to Fenway and a significant momentum shift to the Red Sox.
For the Indians to win they need to keep the momentum going and that depends on Sabathia's first 2 innings on the mound. If he comes out of those two innings without giving up a hit, it will ignite the Indians fans who have been so instrumental in helping their team stay fired up. After that he has to continue and shut the bats of Boston down. The Tribe has to hope Beckett is hittable tonight as well. They've had contribution from every bat in their lineup which is what October is all about. If they are to win, it's going to ultimately come down to Sabathia who has been less than stellar against the Red Sox bats.
Edit: Come on now! That analysis is something to take in. I'm going to predict that momentum shift is going to give the Red Sox a HUGE edge going into games 6 and 7. Mark my words Tripe fans (sorry, I have to get nasty given the vitriol of Indians fans on here), you'll be back NEXT YEAR.

some low-lighting fixtures- interest 2- Francona become stupid and placed Gagne in for Pap. If this did not happen, the Sox likely might want to have received. no longer to instruct the Sox had some opportunities to win it yet blew it. i imagine it become Youk up contained in the bottom of the 9th with Manny on 2d and he couldn't in basic terms hit the monster to force contained in the triumphing run. fortunate. interest 4- Wakefield lost it for an inning and the Indians were given fortunate. no individual on base for the starting up of the three living house run in a row rally both. If those did not happen, the Sox might want to be those who're up 3-a million.

No. Beckett is better then Sabathia.... I think he will outpitch Sabathia... I think Caurmona is better then Schilling so if anything they will win game 6 the Indians. If they don't win game 5 and game 6... then there goin to lose game 7... So they need to win tonight which I doubt and if not they should win game 6. If they lose 6... then it's goin to be another comeback by the Sox.

Definitely. C.C. is going to bring his "A" game tonight and show everyone why he is a Cy Young candidate. He will be much more in control in front of a home crowd.
Stephen, don't overanalyze the situation. You know Beckett is gonna take a "L" tonight.

Yes. Sabathia will pitch the game of his life and the Indians will get to Beckett.
