I also say 7 because I don't want this season to end. It's been so fun to watch.

I'm the founding (and only) member of the Joe Buck fan club, but I like his baseball announcing far less than his football announcing
What’s wrong with Smoltz?
Nothing wrong with Smoltz. Or Buck. Or Cora. Or any Sox player. And the umps are mostly okay. But that will not stop the venom. It will be oozing like clearasil on prom night.
Smoltz was a great pitcher and he seems like a good guy. But his commentating style features some lingo that drives me a bit nuts. Before Game 6 of the NLCS he was giving his keys to victory, and he said for the Dodgers it was important that they 'control the scoreboard'. Control the scoreboard! Now there's some strategy, people. I can't believe no one else thought of it before.
Has Cora announce game 2 starter yet? It needs to be Eovaldi. You need these home games.
What's wrong with having Price go? I thought he left a pretty good taste in our mouths?
He won't commit to anyone beyond Sale starting Game 1.
Sox in 6.
The Sox haven't needed them.
Is membership still open for that group? I know I may be in the minority but I happen to like Joe Buck both as a football and a baseball announcer. Plus he does some great interviews on the Audience channel.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

He is very good at baseball and less good at football. Given his background, it is a safe bet that he likes baseball more - and it shows. His partners on FOX have consistently been not very good ... though Smoltz is the best one he has had.
I'm picking the Sox in 5 because if they can win it before midnight they'll have done it on my birthday. They missed it in 2004 by winning the WS ~20 minutes too early. :-(

I think diminished Chris Sale loses the opener to Kershaw. The Sox get Ryu out early in game 2 and beat the Dodgers pen. The Sox do the same against Hill in game 3. They tattoo Buehler as the Sox demolish fastball pitchers without impeccable command. They lose game 5 against Keyshawn again. They take the title home vs Ryu in Boston
