The World Series begins on Wednseday as the National League Champions the Colorado Rockies take on the American League champions the Boston Red Sox.

Here are my thoughts on this series.

World Series: Best of 7

Red Sox VS Rockies

The Rockies have won 21 of their last 22 games while the Red Sox fought back from a 3-1 deficit to win the ALCS in 7 games over the Indians. The Rockies have not play a game in 8 days heading into Wednesday. Everybody knows that the American League is better than the Natioanl League just like the AFC is better than the NFC in the NFL. But let's not ignore what the Rockies have don't. This team was 6 1/2 games back of the NL West and 4 1/2 games back of the Wild Card on Sept. 16, and look where they are now. The key to this series is will the lay off hurt the Rockies and can they make this a series and continue this hot streak. Game 1 is huge because if the Rockies can beat Josh Beckett, then they have a shot at winning this series. I think the Rockies have a little destiny in then and are riding a magic carpet ride right now. It will led them to a World Series title. Rockies in 6.

The Rockies are playing outstanding baseball right now and their defense is flawless. But I don't think they can keep it up. The Red Sox offense is one of the best in the league and thier pitching is solid. I just dont't think the Rockies pitching can match up against such a powerhouse of a batting order not to mention an 8- Day break is never a good thing. The Red Sox are rolling and they have the momentum. I have to stick my team the Red Sox and say they'll win it in 5.

The Rockies played three games this year in Fenway and took two of three, outscoring the Sox 20-5 in that series. Rockies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2008 WS Champs. Book it!!!!!!!!!!!
