Coming off of Wednesday's 7-3 win, Detroit should be due for a let down here in game 5. They were able to get to Peavy early on thanks to 3 walks in an inning and a costly miscue by Pedroia. Well, that and the fact that Peavy is terrible. It will be a completely different story Thursday against Lackey. Lackey has been nothing short of amazing this postseason. He has posted a 1.93 ERA and a .93 whip in 14 innings thus far. He should be able to keep Detroit's hitters off balance enough to get the win. On the other side, Anibal Sanchez will get the start for the Tigers. He pitched incredible in his first outing of the series, going 6 no hit innings with 12 K's. However, I would not expect the same result this next time out. Boston hitters seem to be figuring it out, and it is only a matter of time before they explode. Also, lets not overlook the fact that Sanchez failed to even make it 5 innings against Oakland, giving up 5 runs in the effort and drawing the loss. All considered, Boston should be able to get the win here in game 5.
Prediction: Bos, 5 at Detroit, 3

I don't know what your saying? Do you know what a let down is? It is what a team has after a big win. Following up a big win with another big win is tough to do.

I think everyone knows what a let down is. I just done see any kind of letdown by either of these teams. I mean it is 2-2 in the ALCS and I think there is ZERO chance of a letdown. Every win is a big win!
I also agree that the reverse will happen (as Shrimp stated). Detroit will be feeling pretty good about themselves (offensively) as opposed to a "let down".
Let's face it, tonight will be another grind out game with 2 aces on the mound. I'm not picking a side, I like the UNDER

This forum has produced some absolute gems during this postseason and this statement of his might take the cake. A let down in game 5 of a 2-2 League Championship Series. Priceless.

only reason I'll be on tigers tonight is I know they don't want to go to boston for 2 games and down a game.....that would almost be a death notice for them

First of all, peavy is no Lester. Lester isn't going to walk three in one inning and surrender a 5 spot. I would agree they will probably feel pretty good about themselves offensively. But if your expecting the same results against Lester, you are out of your mind
