They, and every other major media outlet not based in Denver, are discounting the Rockies way way WAY too much again.
They lie and say the 8-day layoff will affect the Rockies, but if you ask me it'll just give the power hitters (Helton, Atkins, Holliday) time to re-find their swings, Helton especially. Helton said this was true and said he was very glad to have 8 days to get out of his funk.
They ignore the fact that when the CoRox faced the BoSux back in June, that the CoRox absolutely outscored them 20 to 5 and that 19 of those runs were against their 'all-star' Beckett and Schilling duo, while only 1 run was against knuckball-man Wakefield and that he's injured now and won't be on the World Series roster at all. They especially ignore the fact that this BoSux-pounding happened at Fenway.
They instead talk up how the BoSux have decimated the American League and then remind us "the American League is the one with the better-hitting".
Anyhow, I'm just waiting for the sports columnist/anchor/commentator to say that the entire Rockies team, not just Josh Fogg, are 'dragon slayers' because they took down Beckett, Schilling, Webb, Peavy, Valverde, Smoltz, Hoffman, Mussina, Clemens, Pettitte. Any behavioral statistician (if such things exist) could pretty easily look at the Rockies' stats in 'must-win' games and against big-name pitching aces and in 2-out at-bat situations and easily decipher that the Rockies are a team who do amazing under things pressure.
My advice to BoSux fans at Fenway tonight? "Be quiet, you fools, you'll anger the beast!"
