so much better than the NL that the Rockies would be lucky to get to a sixth game against any of the Indians, Sox, or Yankees and the same would be true of the Angels if they'd been healthy.

Who cares if the AL is 100 times better than the NL. The Rockies have been the hottest team in the playoffs and they have had a lot of days to rest, which historically is a huge advantage. The Rockies also took two out of three from the Sox this year.

Also, the yankee fans making the argument aout how many world series they have... who cares, the redsox are better than you right now. Both teams have a high payroll and both teams have the luxary of purchasing talent.

Pretty much agree w/what you wrote with the exception of implying that taking 2 out of 3 earlier this year is meaningful. It is not.

As a Red Sox fan, I can admit that we have luxury to purchase talent. Interestingly, our high-priced talent is not what has helped us nearly as much as our more covert pick-ups and organizationally developed players.
