Wow! I went to bed last night with the Padres beating the Rockies in the top of the 13th, 8-6. I was shocked to wake up this morning to find out the Rockies scored 3 in the bottom of the inning off none other than Trevor Hoffman. I might have to change my predictions. The Rockies beat the Phillies in 5, Dbacks win in 4 over the Cubs. Rockies beat the Dbacks in 6....but all these heroics are for not. Because even though the Rockies are the team to beat right now and they handed the Yankees a cold plate of humiliation during the regular season, the Yanks are going to take them down int he World Series in 6.
Had Peavy won that game yesterday he would be the shoe in for Cy Young, well actually I still think he'll get it. Jimmy Rollins wins a close race for MVP over Prince Fielder. And I don't know enough about the rookie of the year for the NL, do you guys?
I was looking through sports headlines and saw something about the Rockies and 'Rockie Horror Picture Show.' Sports writers think they're so clever, I do enjoy it though.

baseball is perhaps the hardest sport to predict because it is so streaky. the team that wins is not always the best, they just happen to be the team that hits a hot streak at the right time. the teams are much like individual players, if you look at just a 2 week span of a player's year it could read .457 ba 19 rbi 8 hr well this could be the best 2 weeks of that player's career and not very reflective of the overall ability of the player. the same is true for the teams. whatever team gets hot will take it all, and trying to predict that is nearly impossible.
Not so my friend. I agree with your statement to a degree but with a best of 5 and 7 series this should help eliminate the chances of the better team losing. Not always though. Certainly the Yankees performance against the Tigers last year showed how a good team can go streaky, or was it demonstrating a good pitching staff over powering a potent offense? I think the Tigers were the better team because of pitching and it showed. If you want streaky just check your underwear.
