If Joey Chestnut can take out Kobayashi in hot dogs, then why the heck can't the Rockies take out Matsuzaka in baseball. Schilling is a good pitcher, but nothing like he was the last time the Bo Sox made it this far. No bloody sock or the filming of "Fever Pitch" this year to give the guys a little momentum. Beckett was handed his first loss that sent him to a 7-1 record on the year against the Rockies at Fenway. It's not like Colorado is coming in and going to be taken back from their surroundings in the greatest park in the big leagues. They've been there before so its no big thing in my mind. I also don't buy into that "they've never made it this far" stuff. If that was the case then the same teams would be repeating as champions every year. I'm not sure on the exact number but think the Rockies as a team have an ERA of a little below 3.0 during this post season and have been knocking the cover off the baseball, but so have the Red Sox. If the Rockies can swipe one of the two away at Fenway before heading to Denver then they will clinch it there.

God son, you're an idiot. Yeah how many years and tries did it take for Chestnut to finally take down Kobioshi.

As for the series, I just think the long layoff is gonna hurt em. Like Pupaw said, when you are on fire like Colorado is, you wanna be out on the field playin.
