A World Series Preview Sans Predictions
Mets vs. Indians- That didn't work out.
Jake Peavy for NL Cy Young- Not bat Sip
Rich Harden for AL Cy Young- Yikes
Grady Sizemore and Jose Reyes MVPS- Maybe if MVP stood for most valuable P...
My point here is that I'm not that great with predictions.
This World Series could go either way and I wouldn't be surprised.
The Red Sox getting 2 games out of Beckett is huge. But you guys have no idea what a home field advantage is until you go to Corrs Field.
Ortiz, Manny, Lowell vs. Holliday, Helton, Atkins.
Pedroia/Youkilis v Taveras/Matsui (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)
The difference in this series is clearly the rotations. After Jeff Francis the Rockies throw 3 pitchers that would not make any other playoff team in baseball. These pitchers snuck by the Phils and were able to overmatch a very NL DBacks lineup. But this time its the Boston Red Sox. 1-9 they are going to hit and its hard to see Josh Fogg and Ubaldo Jimenez getting through these lineups.
The Red Sox are the better team in this series. But the Rockies have lost 1 game in the last month.
Game 1 is as important a Game 1 as I can remember. Are the Rockies invincible or were they simply invincible a week ago against inferior teams. Is Josh Beckett really this good in the post season? We're talking about a Mariano Rivera level that no other pitcher in our lifetime has touched.
What happens when you put a pitcher that can't lose vs. a team that can't lose?
You get theater at its best.
Ok. So you want my prediction. I'll give you my prediction: Mets in 6
Enjoy Game 1.
Vaya,

I'm hit or miss with predictions, sometimes I'm shockingly right, and otherwise not. or it could just be random.
I picked the Mets over the Red Sox in 6. Maybe a bit of a homer pick there, but I knew the Red Sox were good.
I also picked the Mets over the Cubs in five. at least the Cubs made the playoffs..
