If I hadn’t been a Sox fan for the last 36 years I, too, would be rooting for the Rockies. They’re the scrappy, talented underdogs. As my buddy and Spokesmate Tim Susman put it: They’re what the Sox were before the Sox became the Yankees.
Also, the Rockies have frickin’ amazing hitting and far fewer holes when batting than My Team. We’ve got more experienced pitching and some of it is better. Additionally, the Rockies have fate and the fact that they’re too young too know any better on their side.
Go Sox, but I’m expecting the Rockies.
PS: never, ever use fate or destiny as a deciding factor when picking a winner. As a Sox fan I speak with experience on this.
Collateral Damage 
The Rockies’ players also have much better bodies than the Red Sox players. I’m still cheering for the Sox, though. GO LUGO!
