Rockies keep rolling on the contrary
October 23, 2007My television partner Johnny Burns calls me a contrarian -- as in "one who refuses to accept consensus conclusions" -- and I must admit that he's right.
I don't like the status quo. Never have, never will.
So, it would be easy to say that the Boston Red Sox should roll over the obviously inferior Colorado Rockies in the World Series, but I don't see it that way.
Three years ago, the Red Sox were the Rockies -- a loosey-goosey team just happy to be in the playoffs. Their team mascot could have easily been Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman in a Red Sox hat and no one would have noticed.
But now the goofy look is on the other face and it's been worth an unprecedented 21 wins in the past 22 games.
So, I'm thinking Rockies in six games. But, remember, I'm a contrarian.
