Championship Series Quick Picks

I already made my bed and picked a Red Sox vs. Rockies World Series so I'm sticking to those picks. Anyway here's 5 quick reasons why the series will wind up in the favors of the Rocks and the Sox.

Rockies vs. Diamondbacks

1. Doug Davis and Livan are going to get hammered eventually.
2. Kaz Matsui needs to play in the World Series.
3. +102 to -20 are the respective Run Differentials during the regular season.
4. Rockies have home fans that care, Diamondbacks can't even sell out the game.
5. Remember the whole Team of Jesus Theme.

Red Sox vs. Indians

1. The Red Sox will not start JD Drew in game 1. Advantage Sox.
2. Tim Wakefield & Dice K > Paul Byrd and Jake Westbrook
3. Manny and Papi are unstoppable come post season.
4. Josh Beckett = Best Modern Postseason Starter.
5. I want them to lose, hence they won't.

And if you're forgetful, the Red Sox lost their series this June to the Rockies 2 games to 1, which included Beckett picking up his first loss of the season.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
