The chances of this team getting crushed in a 7 game set by "anybody" are nil, empty set, nada, zip, -0-, IMO, just not going to happen.
I believe my statement still stands. That said, i'd rather face the Red Sox in the W.S. IMO, the Rockies would roll on them bad. Yea they got a great 3-4 but that and their #1 pitcher are where any possible advantage would end. The Rock's are a much more complete team.
When looking to a Indians matchup, i think these are two much the same kind of teams. This would be a great series for those that believe in hard work, good management, and teamwork pays off in the long run. I still like the Rox, but in 6 or 7 games.
More than anything, i'll be glad if the Boston crew gets sent packing. Between the fans of both of the New York teams and Bostons, aside from a few on this site, their "we're better than you because we are" attitude, needed a reality check. I'm more than happy to see a series without any of those 3 teams, bigtime biased game anouncers, and their fans involved.
