I think the Sox will win in … 5 or 6. I still haven’t made up my mind, but I am working on it. The Sox pitching is way to much for the Rockies, I just don’t think their bats will overcome it. I think the Sox also have two other major advantages, both of which are intertwined. Experience and Home Field advantage. I am sure the Rockies fans are rabid, insane, and the worlds greatest (Don’t we hear this every year about the small market teams) but are you going to sit there and tell me, that they are any worse the Yankees fans, I think not. In 2004, we heard all about the St Louis fans, how they are the greatest fans, blah blah blah. Now imagine yourself a Rockies player coming into Fenway, ask the Indians how that worked out.
Now to the experience, the Sox have, the Rockies don’t, well except for greatness himself Wily Taveras. Of course I peruse message boards, and see what the common man is thinking, and everyone points to the Sox, losing 2 out of 3 to the Rockies in the regular season. REGULAR SEASON, this is playoff time, ask any baseball guy they will tell you all bets are off in the playoffs. Looking at the game, we did lose to them, the Schilling loss to the Rockies, you know the 12-2 game, well Schilling went on the DL 10 days later.
So say what you will, the Sox will take the Series, and you better bleive I will be at the parade this time.
