  to is join C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona as 16-game winners in in Cleveland's rotation. Byrd's having the best year of his career, and he's won five of his last six starts. Against Detroit this season he's 2-0, but does have a 5.30 ERA. Kenny Rogers starts for the Tigers, and would like to prove that lefties make the best soft-tossers.

• How Much Will Yankees Miss Clemens?

  to choose. C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona could each pitch twice with Paul Byrd throwing Game Three. They would avoid using the inconsistent Jake Westbrook and would force the Yankees to choose between an ailing Clemens and the iffy Mussina as their third starter. They are probably leaning toward Mussina right now. Clemens has pitched once

Fall Down or Fall Classic looks at the reasons each playoff team could win it all -- or could become a mere footnote in 2007's MLB yearbook.

  them feel quite good with Fausto Carmona taking the hill. Carmona was a revelation this summer after flopping as a closer in 2006. He tied Sabathia for the team lead with 19 wins and closed the season with a dominating 1.78 ERA in September. Joe Torre's crew must do more with the chances that Carmona does give them. Last night they squandered

• Should Wedge Go Sabathia Over Byrd?

  Game 5, you can bring back Fausto Carmona, who was the hero in Game 2. Say it came down to Sabathia or Carmona in Game 5, I'm not so sure that the Indians wouldn't be wise to throw Carmona once again. For that reason, I would do everything to ensure Carmona gets a second start, which means bumping up Sabathia to pitch tonight. It's a really

  Filed under: Boston, Cleveland, Red Sox, Indians, AL East, AL Central, MLB Playoffs, Featured Stories, The WordA good point was made in the comments of my post about NLCS hyperbole; despite the fact that the Rockies and the D'Backs are probably the two best teams in the NL this year, most so-called experts didn't expect them to be good this year

  Lugo ended up striking out. Carmona then issued a base on balls to Pedroia. With Coco stuck on second, Youk ended up striking out as well for the second out of the inning. Big Papi lined a ball up the middle but Carmona got his glove on it and knocked it down keeping a run from scoring but loaded up the bases for the RBI machine that is Manny.

  (Boston Globe Staff Photo / Jim Davis) Twice the 2007 ALCS has produced a dream pitching match up between Josh Beckett and C.C. Sabathia and twice, Beckett has out pitched the Cleveland ace. Sabathia didn’t pitch bad, but Cleveland’s inability to consistently get out Boston’s potent 3-4-5 hitters is beginning to add major drama

  Schilling, and the young Fausto Carmona, ace #1B in the Indians rotation. Neither pitched well in Game 2, though both were awesome in their respective division series. Anyways, Fenway will be rocking tonight as the Red Sox try extend their season one more day and the Indians try to avoid the daunting task of playing at Game 7 at Fenway. This

  around. C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona may have gotten all the Cy Young talk, and Jake Westbrook may have gotten the contract extension, but without Byrd this season, the Indians wouldn't have won the AL Central. His 15 wins in 2007 made it pretty easy to pick up his $8 million option, and the Indians will have a strong rotation again next
