As well as they have been playing..I doubt it.

8 days is alot for any team.......to be able to come out and pick right up where they left off would be amazing.......i just cant see it

**burton2019** · October 24th, 2007, 01:08 PM

Thats a pretty big layover.....kills momentum, imo.

**sup-rbeast** · October 24th, 2007, 01:09 PM

I'll stand by my thoughts on that tho...I think the Rockies will open some eyes.

**BlueWahooChambordDevil** · October 24th, 2007, 01:11 PM

id like to see the rox win it......i just dont think its possible to be off that long and come out the same way they left off

I will stand by the Rockies pick too. I think they are awfully mentally tough, and because of that they will be able to pick up very close to where they left off. Plus, during the regualar season they took 2 of 3 from Boston at Fenway, with the wins coming against Beckett and Schilling. They pretty much dominated the Sox to combined score in those 3 games of 21-4.

there is one thing that i just though of

sox defense at coors

they wont take papis bat out of the lineup menaing he plays first base........youk is hot as hell right now......so they need to keep him on the field.......does that mean he plays RF which could further weaken their defense or do they choose to sit papi and sacrifice offense in favor of defense

**1inStripes** · October 24th, 2007, 01:31 PM

Exactly. Thats why I will be a little surprised if the Sox win a game in Colorado.

Everything is in Boston's favor. They have the better team, manager, best postseason pitcher in the game, momentum, and the Rockies have been sitting for 8 days. If Boston doesn't win this in 5 something is wrong. I'm pulling for the Rockies though.

Everyone talks about the layoff, but only 2 teams who have had a 6+ day layoff between the LCS and the WS has lost the WS. The 06 Tigers, and the 46 Red Sox. The only advantages when you look at it that the Sox have would be their pitching, but if you look past Beckett and Schilling, the Sox don't have that, and Schilling is questionable anymore as well. The Rockies have a better bullpen, and can counter the lefties much better than Boston can out of the pen.
