Okay, one outta two isn’t bad.

I thought my previous prediction of the Colorado Rockies vs. the Cleveland Indians was looking pretty good, until the Red Sox decided to defy the odds once again.

I give this Boston team a ton of props. This team never feels like they are out of it and that makes them very dangerous - oh yeah, and so does Josh Beckett. This guy is ridiculous right now - shades of Bob Gibson in 1967.

The Sox also have the dangerous duo of Manny Ramirez and Big Papi Ortiz in the middle of that lineup. Curt Schilling is one of the best postseason pitchers in the history of baseball and even though he doesn’t throw as hard as he used to, he is still one of the best.

Dice-K had a nice Game 7 in the ALCS and might have proven his worth for the ridiculous contract he signed. But, I’m not sure how he will pitch in Colorado.

Colorado was one of the hottest teams I’ve ever seen. I say “was” because I’m not sure how the layoff will affect them. They have sat around and played catch in the snow for the last seven days. You would think that would slow them down a little.

Here is how I think the series will play out:

Game 1: Too much Beckett! Sox win 4-1.

Game 2: I love the way Jiminez brings it! I’ll take the Rockies 6-4 as they find a way to beat Schilling.

Game 3: I’m not a big Josh Fogg fan and I think this is the one guy that could be rocked early. I’ll take Dice-K and the Sox 8-4.

Game 4: Lester vs. Cook - flip a coin? Heads. I’ll take the Rockies in this one 7-6.

Game 5: That Beckett guy again, huh? Sox 3-2.

Game 6: Start the celebration! Schilling gets it done again.
