I would like to congratulate the Red Sox on their amazing comeback. Sure, it wasn't 2004, but coming back from 3-1 is still a feat. The past 3 games everybody but Manny and Papi have been hitting and the pitching has been great.
But don't get to excited Boston, least you forgot that the Rockies have won 21 of 22. In the post season they have a team ERA of 2.08. 3 out of there 4 starters have an ERA under 2.13 in the post season, including Ubaldo Jimenez (2 starts, 1.59 ERA, and I can't wait to hear McCarver attempt to pronounce his name). Manny Corpas, their post season closer, has an ERA of 1.13.
As for the bats, Matt Holliday leads the NL in playoff home runs, and the top 3 post season RBI men are all from the Rockies. (Kaz Matsui, Yorvit Torrealba, Holliday)
But the real X-factor in this series in Coors Field. You think Ortiz looks tried when he get a double in Fenway, imagine him running to first a mile above sea level. If he hits a triple in Denver they might need to bring out the oxygen.
