It's Time to Admit it

The Red Sox are back in the World Series. It's disgusting. Plain and simple. The only good news is that their NL opponent is a team we can root for. Lot of good that did in 2004. But no Mets, no Diamondbacks.

The Red Sox should win this in 6, despite the incredible hot streak the Rockies have been on. For one thing, having the home field advantage will help the Red Sox out (you couldn't have lost the All-Star game, AL?).

The Rockies haven't played a game since sewing up the NLCS last Monday. And there are still 2 more days until game 1 of the NLCS. They'll send Jeff Francis and Ubaldo Jiminez to the mound for the first 2 in Fenway. The Sox counter with Josh Beckett and the old "to be determined". You have to figure it will probably by Curt Schilling. The Red Sox would rather use him at home than in Colorado. Really what is the other option? Tim Wakefield's back is still balky and Dice-K just threw last night.

Spring Training can't come fast enough.
