Who do you think will win the World Series?

ALICIA COOK STAFF WRITER ARC725@CABRINI EDU

The Colorado Rockies and the Boston Red Sox are off to the World Series. The first game of a best-of-seven-game series started at Fenway Park on Wednesday, Oct. 24.

In the second round of the playoffs we saw a sweep in the National League. The Colorado Rockies continued their unbeaten streak and swept the Diamondbacks effortlessly four games to none to win a best of seven game series. In the American League the games stayed strong, alternating a heated battle between the Red Sox and the Indians.

The Red Sox got a great start again by their ace, Josh Beckett, while Cleveland has had solid pitching from Carmona and Paul Byrd, and has come up with clutch hitting, thanks to Kenny Loften and Grady Sizemore.

On Sunday, Oct. 7, the stats were tied between the Red Sox and the Indians 3 to 3, going into game seven.

Once the bottom of the seventh came, the crowd was wild as the Sox continued in the lead. It started with a bobbled grounder to third, followed by Dustin Pedroia’s two-run homer right into left-center. The Sox were now 5-2.

Red Sox’s Jonathan Papelbon secured the American League pennant for the Sox, when he sent down three in a row. This will be the 12th World Series for the Red Sox, and a chance to win their second World Series in the past four seasons.

“I think the Red Sox will win because I like them more. They are a stronger team and have it all together. With Jonathan Papelbon hitting homers like they did last game, they will be unbeatable.”

“I think the Red Sox because I have heard of their success and they seem like a strong team.”

“I think that the Rockies will win. Their pitching staff is well rested and will be extremely strong.”

“I think the Red Sox will win. I am a huge Mets fan and having the Yankees as our rival, I am routing for the Red Sox because they have beaten the Yankees. Anyone who can beat the Yankees I am rooting for!”
