GreatScott82 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 07:30 PM) I voted for the Red Sox. American League loyalty and karma. We won it the year after they did and will again next year. I was thinking the same thing... can their be a Red Sox- White Sox pattern? 1917 White Sox- 1918 Red Sox 2004 Red Sox- 2005 White Sox 2007 Red Sox?- 2008 White Sox? Hmmmm baseball sure is a sport based on unique patterns and trends.. it would be creepy as hell if this one happened. The Rockies story is a great one for baseball, but the Red Sox will absolutley kill these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I still don't buy that the Red Sox are absolutely that much better than the Rockies. The Red Sox have the obvious advantage at Fenway, but the Rockies also have an obvious advantage at Coors, not only because they are used to pitching in the thin air, but because the Red Sox are almost assured of losing either a .390 OBP, an .880 bat, Papi, who arguably had the best year of his career, or a huge amount of defense (I've seen people suggest putting Youkilis in the outfield, Lowell at SS, or Pedroia at SS with Youkilis at 2B). The Rockies are set in that regard. It also seems readily apparent to me that the Rockies are polar opposites in the field compared to Cleveland. There are two reasons why the Rockies cruised through the NL; one is because the NL is absolutely terrible, but the second is that they are a very good team. It should be an interesting series; I see Colorado stealing one in Boston, and then not letting it get back to Boston. However, I truly believe that if this series goes back to Boston for 6 and 7, Red Sox win, and thus, I'd be very surprised if the team that wins doesn't win it at home.

Kalapse Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 f*** the Red Sox, there's no team I hate more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggliopipe Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Rockies. It's completely unf'ingbearable living here in New England right now. Between the Red Sox, Pats, and now the Celtics (and worst of all, the fans themselves), I just can NOT take it. I've proudly hung up a Rockies sign outside my lab alongside my vandalized White Sox sign... can't wait to see what cleverness will befall it.

Kid Gleason Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I just really want to avoid any chance of seeing Papelbon doing that stupid ass dance ever again, so I have to pull for the mountain folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Rockies. Without a doubt. I always root for the underdog. And I'm tired of all this media BS for Red Sox. I just want them to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 i was at game 7 last night....go to fenway with an already mildly bitter taste for the red sox (especially to game like last night) and you will hate them even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chombi Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Rockies in 4 I hope. It'd be cool to see a young homegrown team go on the greatest run in professional sports history to win the WS. If Boston wins, does nothing really. Colorado winning would be something special and fun to witness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayitaintso Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The Rockies, because really, how can you root against them? They are the mirror image of us in '05 now.

WCSox Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 09:24 AM) Rockies, because Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious, annoying fans I've ever seen. +1 Most of them are also Patriots fans, and they're even worse.

Bubba Philips Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I Never gave the Rockies an outside chance until the end of the season when they beat San Diego. They have contiued making outside chances through the playoffs and now everyone must realize the Rockies are Real no matter how much Gammons and company sing the praises of the Bosox it will be Rockies taking home that ugly winning trophy to Colorado in 5.. Boston will beat themselves like all the rest of the Rockies opponents have.. You can't beat charmed. go rockies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'm rooting for the Rockies mainly because I hate the obnoxiousness of Red Sox fans. It really doesn't help that one of the guys I live with is from Boston, and I'll have to deal with all his bulls*** for the entire year with the Red Sox, Pats, and Celtics (okay, maybe not) all having a legit chance at winning championships.

BigEdWalsh Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 As much as I hate the Red Sox and especially their fandom, it's not to the same level of contempt that I have for the Yankees and the Flubs and their stupid fans. I have tried to pull for the Rockies but it just doesn't work. It's not real. I'm American League through and through and deep down, I'm glad to see the American League dominate.
