Really. How weak is that?

Actually its was a 8 DAY layoff!!!!! They swept the Diamondbacks in game
4 on Monday October 15th, 2007. They then had 8 straight days off
without playing a game, and then played their first game 9 DAYS later,
which was game #1 of the World Series on Wednesday October 24th.

I think that ANY team in Baseball that goes 8 days without playing is in
trouble, because you lose your timing, your hitting, and your pitching
among other things. Plus, there is no such thing as a 8 to 9 day layoff
in Baseball, it just doesn't happen! Out of all the 4 major sports (
MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL ), the only one that comes close to a layoff that
big, would be NFL Football, when the teams have their bye weeks.

So yes, the Rockies were on a huge roll and had all the momentum to win
the World Series, but going 8-9 days without playing a meaningful game,
took that all away from them, and hurt the team.

Do the RedSox fans really thing that their team would play this good
after a 9 day layoff???

Come on, gimme a break!!!!!

I don't think the Red Sox would play as well. But the Rockies still
would not have a chance against Beckett, layoff or not. In fact a
layoff probably means Beckett gets a complete game shutout like he did
against the Angels (which was after a 7 day layoff). He's a power
pitcher, and they are normally helped by a layoff.

Now what is your excuse against Schilling? One run against somebody's
grandpa who has no fastball any more?

Or how about the fact that the Rockies hit 0.225 vs. the Diamondbacks
which is about how they are doing against the Red Sox?

Why don't you just grow up and realize that the Red Sox are the better
team. Look at the pitching stats for the season. They predict exactly
what is happening on the field.

I don't know...I DO know, we Red Sox fans wouldn't be throwing in the towel
this easily. Two games...on the road...against two of the best post season
pitchers in history...one of whom is a likely Cy Young winner (at least
he'll get close)...and did I mention...on the road...in BOSTON? You do
realize it's a best of seven don't you...I'm sure you're kinda new to this.

What a bunch of pussies!

Not a joke: I posted this elsewhere in this NG:

Rooting for the Rockies. Not doing much good since the NLCS games against
the snakes. I think part of the problem is that the Rockies were just
"hangin' out" for a week before the World Series.

Do the rules of Major League Baseball permit a team to play games on days
when they're otherwise idle? I mean, instead of being idle and doing
nothing, could the Rockies have played games -- maybe against one of their
AAA affiliates -- just to stay sharp?

I think it would have made sense, but I'd hate for the commish to say, "Off
with your head!" to the Rockies management.
