Re:
If the rockies don't show anything more tonight, they are done.
It reminds me of '04, when the Cards were hyped up to be nasty...sure, when compared to the NL. They hit the SOX, who were hot at the time and had better pitching than the NL, and fell on their faces.
Some pointers to tonight's game...
1) Jiminez is a rookie. It will be tough, even if he can throw gas.
2) He isn't good against lefties. Drew, Ortiz, and Ellsbury.
3) The sox NON power players are hot.
4) COL had 8 days off. The All Star break can kill player's streaks, I think the same to be true here.
5) BOS has more players through and through that can and will hit.
6) Schilling is money in post-season and can shut down COL. I like Holliday and Helton, and Tulowitzki is a bright star, but I don't think they can do it, and it won't be tight games.
7) That was a demoralizing loss. Let's see how COL bounces back.
8) If all Jimenez does is throw gas, he'll get blasted, well, by everyone except Lugo and Drew.
I think the SOX do it in 4 games, IF they take tonight. If they don't, it's 5.

Hope game three they really pick it up...
