 Colorado Wins
The Colorado Rockies have been struggling to defend their National League title this season, but a few more games against the American League could help to turn things around. The Rockies will be trying for a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians when the teams meet at Coors Field on Thursday. Colorado (30-42) is in last place in the NL West after reaching the World Series last season. However, the Rockies have won 10 of 14 and clinched their fifth straight series victory with Wednesday’s 4-2 win over Cleveland (33-39). “Every time we start a series, that’s what’s brought up - try to win the series,” said Jeff Baker, who homered and scored three runs Wednesday. “That’s what we did last year toward the end and it worked out for us.” Included in their current run was a series win against the White Sox in Chicago. The Rockies, who took two of three in that set, are 6-2 in interleague play and have outscored their AL foes 36-20.

Red Sox and othersIt's interesting to watch a team go from the underdog to the team on top that everyone tries to knock down. I am a Bostonian and sat through what seemed like endless years of sub-par Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots teams that disappointed me annually. The poor Red Sox, people thought they had a curse that couldn't be lifted. But now the Sox are World Series winners twice in three years, something I never thought I'd say! All of a sudden, the Red Sox are the mighty that everyone will want to beat. They are the bad guys now, the ones everybody wants a piece of. And it's the same thing with the Patriots. They are now hated by lots of football fans. One commentator called every game against the Pats as that team's Super Bowl. I haven't seen the Patriots this year, but I went to the Angeles vs Red Sox game 3 in the playoffs and also Game 2 of the World Series. I bought game tickets from here. This year, I think I am going to forget about sports for a while and instead check out a show, maybe Young Frankenstein. But of course you can bet you'll see me at Fenway Park or Wrigley Field during this upcoming MLB season. |
