Can the Rockies Defeat One More Stat?

Sunday, October 28, 2007

Game four of the World Series is tonight with the Red Sox leading the series 3-0. If the Red Sox win tonight, they win it all.

The Red Sox have beaten the Rockies 2-1, 13-1, 10-5. Clearly, the Red Sox offense is beating, almost humiliating, the Rockies pitching.

Have the Rockies made it to the World Series by luck? Did they just somehow win the right amount of games at the end of the season and slip in the World Series?

Twenty-two teams have taken 3-0 leads in the World Series and all have gone to win the championship. Only three teams have avoided the sweep by winning game 4, but all ended up losing.

The Red Sox aren’t celebrating yet and the Rockies aren’t giving up yet.

So, can Colorado, the team that won 21 of their last 22 games and the team that swept their opponents in the first two postseason series, come back and win this series or has it just been luck?

They have overcome quite a lot this season, especially October, but is it enough to push them towards the championship?

What does everyone else think?

Come on Rockies, be the first to come back and win the World Series while losing 3-0.

The Rockies did not show us that they could be a record breaker! Too much rest and not playing caused them to cool off and lose momentum. Baseball is a momentum game-your mind has to be in the game!

I agree, that long rest may have caused them the series.
