Unbelievable?...Not To Indians Fans!

Trot Nixon delivers the game-winner in the top of the 11th inning!

OK, OK, OK, I was one night off with my prediction!

The Indians evened the ALCS with the Red Sox by beating Boston in 11 innings, 13-6!

Fausto Carmona struggled early against the potent Boston offense.

For the first 6 innings, the lead went back and forth.

Jhonny Peralta hit a 3-run home run in the 4th inning to put the Indians ahead, 4-3.

Back roared Boston and Fausto and Raphael Perez got lit up.

With the score tied 6-6, the Indians brought in Jensen Lewis, Raphael Betancourt, Tom Mastney, and Joe Borowski who were all superb! They held the Sox scoreless for the last 6 innings of the game while the Indians' offense got on track.

Incredible 11th!

Now the series comes to Cleveland. All of a sudden, with the series tied 1-1, the Indians are in control, hosting the next 3 games!

Best case scenario; the Indians win the series in 3 games at home!

2nd best scenario; the Indians win 2 of 3 and go back to Boston needing 1 game of the remaining 2.

Aiming for the best case scenario is the right way to approach this.

If you do not yet believe the Cleveland Indians will win this series, you probably have been too busy watching the leaves turn colors.

Cleveland is going to the 2007 World Series...Believe it!
