Well folks:
Who would have thought it just three weeks ago.
With the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians battling it out to see who will represent the American League in the World Series, their opponent will be waiting and well-rested. The opponents -- the Colorado Rockies.
The Colorado Rockies?
This almost seems like one of those Twilight Zone moments, when Rod Serling (yes, I'm too young to actually have seen him or the series) comes out and it's only a dream.
But make no mistake, the Rockies are for real.
By winning 21 of their last 22 games (you read that correctly) Colorado is sitting pretty waiting for the survivor of the Red Sox-Indians battle, which could go at least 6 games.
On paper, who ever comes out of the ALCS, is seemingly -- on paper -- the better team.
But recent playoff history has proven it's not always the best team on paper that wins. Last year's St. Louis Cardinals are the perfect example of that.
It should make for an interesting Series.
Stay tuned.
Until next time, take care and God bless.
