Baseball Post

So this has actually turned into a great October of baseball for me. I claim the Red Sox as my favorite team in baseball, and they swept the Angles in their opening round playoff series. They start the American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians in a few days. But it would be lie if I said I wasn't also following the Rockies. What an amazing streak they are on, winning 17 out of 18 games and in the process sweeping the Phillies out of the first round playoff series. I even read stories in the paper that when the Broncos fell pathetically behind Chargers on Sunday the fans started to yell "Go Rockies"....What? Could this be? Has there been a cataclysmic shift in Denver sports allegiance? I think the Mile High City is pumped to see the Rockies having an impact in October for the first time since 1995. I also think the Arizona Diamondbacks should be very afraid of the Rockies right now. I don't think there will be a sweep in this series, but I really think the Rockies have a shot....that is if they play Rockies baseball of the last 18 games and not Rockies base pall of the prior 15 seasons!

Boston looks like the team to beat.

I saw vegas odds today and Boston was at 7 to 1 while the Rockies were in last place at 75 to 1. Arizona was 60 to 1, so the odds makers are at least seeing that as a close series.
