Everyone should bet the Rockies.

Doesn't mean they're not way worse than any AL team that made the playoffs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, way worse

Too bad the series isn't a best of 21 so variance doesn't have as big of a chance to ruin what should happen

[/ QUOTE ]

The variance is why they can win. The Rockies are probably better than last year's "champion" Cardinals.

[NT!]

lol, john donovan gives the rockies the edge in CF because of taveras' speed and defense. is he aware the ellsbury is the fastest human being alive?

he also gives the rockies the bullpen edge, lolololololol

lol at 'the only thing the red sox have on the rockies is experience.' if by 'experience' you mean 'the experience of having better hitters at the majority of positions, a better rotation and a better bullpen,' then i guess you are right.

for BP readers, Nate's breakdown of the series is up.

great stuff as usual

web page

he touches on something I said above - Rockies pitchers used to dabbling outside the strike zone with meh stuff are going to have an awfully tough time with the Sox lineup. I'm seeing lots of walks, lots of contact, and not a lot of K's for the Red Sox

[NT!]

this is a lot like when we faced the cards in 04, they had a bunch of guys who were sorta nibblers, didn't have a really good out pitch, and we hammered them LDO

the way things are running, esp. in the postseason, i'd say Ramirez >= Holliday, but it's pretty close (from an offensive standpoint)
