World Series: Red Sox vs. Rockies - Will the Cinderella Story Have a Happy Ending?
Game one of the World Series is tonight with the Colorado Rockies taking on the Boston Red Sox in Boston. This is shaping up to be a championship series that you won’t want to miss!
The Colorado Rockies are playing in their first World Series in franchise history. After entering the playoffs as a wildcard team, the Rockies surprised everyone by sweeping their first two series. After a long layoff, they will finally get their chance to play for the title.
The Boston Red Sox came back from being down 3-1 to the Cleveland Indians and are now pursuing their second championship in four years. Despite the brief scare in the Indians series, I don’t think anyone is surprised that the team with the league’s best 96 wins has found themselves playing in the World Series once again.
Although the Red Sox are the clear favorites, the Rockies just may have what it takes to cause a major upset. After all, they are the team that handed Josh Beckett his first loss in 2007. If they continue to play outstanding defense and can find a way to score more runs playing on the road, this Cinderella team may get the glass slipper in the end.
I am always one who loves to cheer for the underdog, so I’ll definitely be rooting for the Colorado Rockies tonight. I’m going to say Clint Hurdle and his Rockies will win the series in six games.
