mondo, what i was trying to say (rather clumsily) is that recent experiences have left me very confident once we get out of the ALCS. if i was simply going by the 'number of world series won since i was a kid' model, we'd be a mortal lock [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

basically i am saying, viscerally we feel one way, logically we know different. or at least some of us do.

Agreed -- just yanking your chain a bit.

I fully realize the Red Sox are a "better" team, even if the extent of that is debatable. I also fully believe the Rockies will win the series, but really, it's only because I don't think the Sox are *that* much better, and that some of their advantages will be neutralized or countered by certain disadvantages they'll face in the Coors Field games. And that it won't be luck for the Rockies to win, because it's not that much more than a coin flip.

Is that kinda visceral? I guess so. But no matter how many computer simulations are run, in the end, it's 25 real people on each team playing up to 7 real games. I kinda shudder at the idea of Fogg starting a Game 7, though. I like him, but eeshk.
