After incorrectly predicting that Ottawa will win the Stanley Cup against Anaheim,the Jets,Bengals,Eagles,Saints and Rams would be playoff teams and that the Indians would face the Diamondbacks in the fall classic , here is my pick for the World Series.
For the third year in a row it will be a short one and I believe the Red Sox will sweep the Rockies.
The only decent starter that the Rockies have is Canadian Jeff Francis and unfortunately he is facing Josh Beckett in game one at Fenway.
The hottest team in baseball has not faced live pitching in 8 days and it will show in game one.
Meanwhile Dustin Pedroia seems out of his slump and JD Drew finally got a clutch hit so that is not good news for Colorado pitchers.
With Youkilis,Ortiz,Manny,Lowell,Varitek and rookie Jacoby Ellsbury , the only automatic out is number nine guy Julio Lugo.
By the way it should be interesting to watch Manny in left field at Coors field and I wouldn't be surprise to see Big Papi on the bench in the Mile High city because of his bad knee and the bat and defense of Youkilis at first base.
Yes Red Sox nation your team will win the World Series for the second time in 4 years.Wow!!!

In the NFL there are the Pats and the Colts and everybody else.
Everyone talks about Tom Brady,Randy Moss,Wes Welker,Peyton Manning,Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison but the number one reason these two teams are undefeated is the O-line.
The Pats and Colts have the two best offensive lines in football.
Look at how much time Brady and Manning have to find their receivers and how effectively these two teams run the football.
For people who don't know these big guys (who does ?) here are these unsung heroes :
PATS : Matt Light-Logan Mankins-Dan Koppen-Stephen Neal and Nick Kaczur
COLTS : Tony Ugoh-Ryan Lilja-Jeff Saturday-Jake Scott and Ryan Diem.
Ask Anthony Calvillo how important a good o-line is!!!
