Chapter 68.7: This Championship Season

A quick note before bed: Though the Rockies have taken the first game of their series with the Diamondbacks, I'll make my predictions about the NLCS and the ALCS.

Red Sox vs. Indians: Red Sox in 7 games -- tough series and it could be one for the ages. This may be the start of a long-term rivalry, especially if the Yankees start to disintegrate.

Diamondbacks vs. Rockies: Rockies in 6 -- this is also a tough series to predict, and I didn't expect the Rockies to defeat Brandon Webb. But I don't think they can continue to win with the regularity they've displayed, no matter how impressive it is.

Chapter 68.6: Philly Phlop!


Yes, the Mets could have done just as bad as this -- perhaps even worse. In fact, the way they ended the year, they did perform even worse. But I didn't expect the Rockies to sweep the Phillies. And with the Diamondbacks doing the same to the Cubs (any team can have a bad century!), we are facing baseball's first All-Mountain Time Zone championship series.

The Red Sox have just a couple outs to go before their sweep. And, God willing, we'll have a clean sweep after tonight.

Funny, I thought I wouldn't really enjoy this post-season.
