It looks as though there’s a new bully in town and they are the Boston Red Sox. The Sox manhandled a Rockies team which found trouble scoring runs. If you’ve watched the Rockies for most of the season as I have, if they don’t score runs, then they can’t do anything else.

That’s not a knock to the team, but apart from the offense and the bullpen, the Rockies would not have made the playoffs. Without either of those two in the postseason, a sweep was bound to happen. Unfortunately, it happened on the biggest stage of all. I said before that I thought the Rockies had JUST ENOUGH pitching to win the series. Well, the starting rotation of old decided to show up for the World Series instead of the rotation that led them to the postseason on a hot-streak.

As it also turned out, I was wrong about the other team making the playoffs. I thought the Indians would have gotten the job done, even before the ALCS started. But, they had to prove me incredibly wrong.  The Indians just could not put Boston away.

Last but not least, for once, could commentators shut up about the non-DH advantage for the NL team in the series? Boston didn’t need a DH in Colorado. In fact, Daisuke showed everybody up with his 2 RBI’s. So please, from now on SHUT UP about the DH affecting the AL team when they play by NL rules. That analysis I would expect from Joe Morgan, but not real commentators and journalists
