Boston knows how to end a curse and forget it ever existed. Take note Cub nation. I was talking to Bonnix following game 5 victory and he stated he knew the Red Sox were going to win. Amazingly, this is how much Boston has changed its image. Formerly, you would never have thought they could come back down 3-1.
Their ALCS against the Yankees during their series run can no longer be considered lucky. They've done it again and have an incredible amount of confidence. Boston came back and crushed the Cleveland. The 1-2 combo of BIG Poppy, and Manny is as impressive as I've seen in the last ten years. Beckett is an unstoppable force who will start against the Rockies because they didn't even need him down the stretch.
The Red Sox seem to have now written the book on how to lift a curse (i.e. stop being shitty). They have premier ownership, management, players, fans and stadium, but most importantly, they are still hungry. Its that hunger that gets them through these tight series. Many teams have the talant, but not the desire.
Under normal circumstances, I'd give this World Series to the Sox in 5, but the Rockies are smoldering. Winning 23-24 in baseball is almost unthinkable. Colorado may be intimidated, but they have already overachieved to an unrealistic degree. I'll go with Rockies in 6.
