I can see the newspaper headlines now... "The Sox Rock the Rox!"
I think Beckett will be the major factor/mvp of the World Series. Although I'm curious to see games 3,4 and possibly 5 in Colorado. I want to know what they will do with Big Papi and Youklis without a DH. I would also love to see Manny roaming the enormous outfield of Coors Field.
Over in the
MLB Playoffs Discussion thread Klydon mentioned this series might be a very high scoring series because it's at Fenway and Coors Field. However I haven't heard anyone mention the humidor and what it has done to legitimize baseball in Denver. I think most of the country still thinks games at Coors Field are an automatic slugfest, but for the last couple of years it hasn't been. I think that is
part of the reason why Colorado is in the World Series, plus a great farm system.
Regardless of who wins, I just hope the rest of the series isn't as lopsided as game 1. Ugh.
