Um...yeah. The Rockies have won 21 out of their 22 last games. Their defense is the best in major league baseball right now - they should not be discounted. They're playing some good ball.

yeah, they are. i'm confident in my boys but not cocky ... we still have at least 2 more games to play before we can even start projecting what's going to happen with the rockies. 21 out of 22 games ... that's just nuts.

Oh yeah - I'm not cocky at all....but confident (while also nervous). But ya know - when you just play good ball it can go either way.

For now I actually am hoping the Indians make it to the series - I think a Rockies/Indians series could be really exciting! And I'm sick of hearing about the Sox

Well, The Red Sox backs are against the wall now for sure down 3 games to 1. But we have our best pitcher Josh Beckett going and I'll take my chances. Plus we were down 3 games to 0 against the Yankees just 3 years ago and came back. So we'el see what happens. But it's not looking good for my boys at the moment.

That 7 run inning by the Indians sucked. Then the three in a row Sox homers were awesome. That was it for the score, only runs in 2 innings yet we managed to lose. Rest up tonite Sox because tomorrow you gotta WIN! GO SOX!!!

Another Case of Manny Being Manny?
By HOWARD ULMAN,AP Sports
Posted: 2007-10-18 15:18:50
Filed Under: MLB
CLEVELAND (Oct. 18) - Manny Ramirez is the man in the middle of the Red Sox's fading drive toward the World Series.

Manny Ramirez, who already had a reputation of being a flake, didn't help his cause when he said it's not the "end of the world" if the Red Sox lose to Cleveland.

Boston's quirky cleanup hitter stands at the plate to admire a mammoth homer. He keeps getting on base. He chats pleasantly for nine minutes, a filibuster for a slugger who prefers silence to speaking with reporters.

Ramirez was in the center again Wednesday, surrounded at his locker by writers whose pens sped up when he made a casual remark with the Red Sox trailing the Cleveland Indians 3-1 in the AL championship series that resumes Thursday night.

"We're not going to give up," Ramirez said. "It doesn't happen, so who cares? There's always next year. It's not like it's the end of the world."

Wow.

That's not what Boston's passionate fans want to hear when their team is one loss away from elimination after losing three straight games.

But Ramirez does care.

Why else would he show up at the ballpark many mornings long before night games to lift weights, do drills and hit balls? Why would he say his career records for most homers in the postseason and the LCS pale in significance to a return to the World Series.

"If I would have known that I was going to be in the World Series and not have those records, I would have traded in a heartbeat," Ramirez said on Wednesday's workout day between Games 4 and 5. "Who cares about the records, man? We just want to go have fun and win."

Those words again: Who cares.

The Red Sox need more than Ramirez and the middle of their lineup to help postseason star Josh Beckett extend their season when he faces C.C. Sabathia in a rematch of Cy Young favorites who faced each other in the series opener.

They need the last four hitters in the batting order and leadoff man Dustin Pedroia to improve on their 16-for-77 showing with just six runs and six RBIs in the series.

Ramirez is confident that will change.

"It's going to happen," he said. "We've got a lot of confidence in our teammates. They've been good all year 'round."

If the Red Sox win, they'll return home for Game 6 on Saturday with Curt Schilling, an outstanding postseason pitcher who failed in Game 2, opposing Fausto Carmona. If the managers stick to their rotations, Westbrook would face Daisuke Matsuzaka if a seventh game is played.

"We can believe all we want," Boston's Mike Lowell said, "but we have to get hits off Sabathia and hold them down."

Ramirez is confident the Red Sox will prolong the series.

"Hey," he said, "anything's possible."

But if they lose, don't expect him to sulk in his seat more than an hour after the game, staring into his locker the way Matsuzaka did when he lasted just 4 2-3 innings in Cleveland's 4-2 win in Game 3.

"We're always relaxed," Ramirez said. "If a guy goes over there and gives me 100 percent and things don't happen the way he wanted to, what is there to ask?"

Thumbs up

Can't wait for the Cleveland/Colorado World Series. I love seeing the city of Boston lose at everything possible, especially nowadays.

manny just upped his d-bag status. it's irresponsible to his team to strut down to first base without making sure it was a home run. ortiz got home from first on that hit and manny could only make it to first base? chriiiist.

You are right...and the announcers blasted him for it. Back to USF-Rutgers football.
