Go Rockies!

The Rockies being off for a week is starting to give me the same feeling that I had when I realized that 50-something days was too long between football games for my Buckeyes. But the Rocks should have been done back in September and yet here we are, waiting for Game 1 of the World Series.

Why they will win:

• The Offense. The Rockies have an amazing lineup that will only be enhanced by the AL mandated DH. They also know how to beat pitchers by working the count and patiently fouling off balls until they get something they can hit.
• The Bullpen. Clint Hurdle has been working the bullpen in do or die situations all year. He won't be afraid to send out the entire roster if necessary to win a game. The Red Sox on the other hand need their starters to pitch brilliantly for 6 or 7 innings.
• Defense. The Rockies are the best in baseball history and they know how to deal with Coors Field. They won't be intimidated by Fenway Park either.
• Familiarity. The Rocks won 2 of 3 back in June in Boston and beat both of the Red Sox's aces.
• Coors Field. It's big, the wind blows, the altitude is funky, it might snow. More importantly, it will affect the Red Sox pitchers who lack experience pitching in these sorts of conditions.
