When the Boston Red Sox fought long & hard to earn their way into the World Series, I along with who knows how many other folks sensed that Colorado's fabled run to the Main Event would also come to an early end. And we all came to a similar conclusion - that the Red Sox would sweep this thing right off the Rockies' feet (though I did have my doubts a la the 2007 NBA Finals).
And that's what Boston did to Colorado, getting that much anticipated sweep which we were all predicting would occur.
The amazing thing about this whole Series is that the Rockies didn't really put much of a fight & against a team whose offensive & defensive (particularly in the pitching dep't.) firepower is just too strong, how could they? Well, for games 2 & 4, you can't accuse them of not trying; far from it. It's just that Boston has been in this situation before, having won a World Series themselves a short while back. The Red Sox knew the routine. And though the upstarts hung around, the BoSox didn't fold & stepped their game up a notch.
But we shouldn't overlook Colorado next season, should they play like they played during the tail end of the regular season as well as the NL playoffs...if they're lucky enough to have lifted the hype off their backs by then. Until then, we'll just keep waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
