OFFICIAL WORLD SERIES! - Boston Redsox vs Colorado Rockies

[NT!]

based on matchups and past performance, matsuzaka might actually be a bigger favorite over cook or fogg or whoever than beckett is over francis. francis has been legit this year and he matches up pretty well with the sox.

Wow. My wife just scored two club level seats for game 5. At face value, from one of her students.

talked to my GF's cousins who live in Denver. they have a close friend with Club Level seats that normally sell for $300. he sold 4 for $18,000. no joke.

4 for ONE game?!?!?

That's sick. We usually sit club level 2-for-1 via Wells Fargo. Regular season, those are $45 tickets. Face for the WS was $250. You're talking $4500 per ticket.

yankees ballwasher jon heyman picks the rockies in seven, saying that jeff francis is very calm (we know how they like calmness in new york... particular in the ocular region).

also, he claims the rockies' lineup 'may actually be better.'

heyman thinks it's crazy that the rockies are a 2.5 to 1 dog on a lot of betting sites right now, claiming oddsmakers are crazy to lay that kind of line. fundamental lack of understanding how betting lines are established FTW.

Ya, that last point is dumb. It would be perfectly reasonable argument to say due to the line the smart money is on the Rockies. But to question the line as if Vegas is making some huge error from a public figure is pretty funny.

that's nothing for heyman, guy is a hack

he probably knows and just assumes his average reader doesn't. (which they don't)

You're right. He sucks. He should have had the cohones to pick the Rockies in six. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

how confident are the hardcore Red Sox fans?

i.e. what kind of odds will you give me?

[NT!]

confidence-wise, i just feel like we can't lose. but we also haven't lost a world series since i was a little kid.

betting wise, i would guess that the sox are about -150, but i am not particularly knowledgeable.
