want to make a lot of money?
rockies in 6, even after that 13-1 loss. I have numbers (well, theories) to back it up, but why ruin the fun? (alright, one quick one ... 3 teams in the history of major league baseball have lost game 1 by 10 runs or more, all 3 have won the series so long story short this one ain't over)

Hey James - your old homeroom teacher here! I ran across your blog while looking for info. on the series. I should let you know up front that I grew up in N.H. with the likes of Carl 'Yaz' Yastremski et. al. and am a member of the "Nation". I think that your pick to see the Rockies in 6 was legit. given the unbelieveable run at the end of the season. In the end, we can never be sure as there are no controlled tests in life, but I think that the 8 day layoff coupled with the enthusiastic, unfettered (by big salaries and expectations) play of the young guys - Pedroia, Ellsbury, Papelbon, etc. was just too much for them. Call me an idealist, but I don't think baseball (or any major sport) benefits as a pure endeavor by overpaid drama artists. Just look at the first three games - only one home run and that by the littlest guy in major league baseball! I like good, scrappy, chip-away-at-it play. That is true for baseball, basketball, etc. Enough with the hype!! And the embellishment of trivia by the media is a joke! Me - I prefer A and AA baseball in a small stadium with people just out to have a good time!!
Keep up the good work with the blog and perhaps we'll bump into one another some day.
