sides
Alright…enough of the experts on ESPN, FOX, TBS, and EIEIO.
Time for the G sides nation to predict.
Boston has outstanding pitching, clutch hitters, a big green nasty wall, a fantastic venue to play in, wonderful history, and a cool looking logo - the ever simple but dignified “B”.
Colorado has pitiful owners, great venue, outstanding defense, solid batters, a relaxed “tell it like it is” manager, and about 14 different uni combinations to choose from (but most of the state loves the black).
[As an aside - the purple tops are okay but the total pinstripe look is not good. The purple on the pins isn't the same purple on the cap...if they wear that cap...they could wear the all black cap. See? Way to many options.]
The team with the best record versus the hottest team on the hottest streak in MLB history.
What will give?
The Rox will bring it home…..
in 4.
A sweep.
And if they don’t…then they’ll win in 5 or 6 or 7.

You might still win the series and that’s all that matters but I would have bet you my house they would have never swept the Sox.

Nice prediction…

Besides that, pinstripes are evil. Maybe that’s why Jesus Hates the Yankees. Don’t be evil.

Did the Sox post your predictions on the clubhouse bulletin board?

Sweep? OH STINK!! Oh, sorry G, milk just came shooting out of my nose. I was kinda laughing real hard.

greg for the kings

When I saw this I had to comment. I hate Boston, but you’re probably right.
BTW. Love the new look, this is the first time I’ve clicked over in a while (usually I read it in Google Reader).
Keep up the good work,
-Jeff-

They’ve just put out an Amber Alert for the Rockies.
We’ll know more by 6pm tonight.
10 jeremy // Oct 25, 2007 at 10:19 am
i’ll be surprised if the rockies score 4 runs this series, let alone win 4 games.
i love you, but your pick is borderline insane.

see, the thing some people dont realize is that josh beckett cant pitch every game. dice k and schilling can be hit and scored on. also, dont forget the rocks havent played real baseball in 8 eight days prior to this game. it will be different the next two games.
12 Turner // Oct 25, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Still it’s tough to compete when they can put up 13 runs on you, whether or not Beckett is on the mound. It’ll probably go 5 games.
13 Zack Sanders // Oct 25, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Can I just say, before Grant moved to Colorado he really didn’t care about baseball…….haha. Sox will win, I agree with Turner 5 games.
14 Grant // Oct 25, 2007 at 4:51 pm
There - you’ve said it now shut up and let me pull for my Rox.
I’m reliving my childhood.
We’ll know more after tonight if last night was a fluke or not. I’m guessing not.

You could still be right if “Rox” is short for “Red Sox”
16 kurt // Oct 25, 2007 at 7:05 pm
1-1 mid fifth. If the Rox lose a close one, I think it will be time to stick the proverbial fork in them. Tough to come back from a squashing, then lose a nail-biter.
17 MikeS // Oct 25, 2007 at 8:18 pm
It might be a lot closer if Rox pitchers would stop walking batters.
But then again, they could always blame it on the layoff.

I’m actually interested in this baseball rant since you’re talking about fashion! I can’t believe ya’ll are weighing in on the uniforms! Love it!
19 Grant // Oct 26, 2007 at 9:14 am
Fashion…Rox wore pinstripes in Game 2. I’m not digging the look.
Still like the black…
20 Len’s Pushing Through | the G sides // Feb 8, 2008 at 11:40 am
[...] Len is one of my closest friends whom I’ve never seen face to face. I’m dead serious. We’ve been emailing and posting and calling for I don’t know how long but we’ve never been able to hook up. But every time we talk, it gets to the “real place” in about 10 seconds. How’s your soul? What’s been the most encouraging thing in your life over the last couple of weeks? The most discouraging? The only major character flaw about Len that isn’t going to get fixed is his love of the Red Sox. It about pushed our relationship to the brink this past fall. [...]
