Even though I wrote about how Boston was done for. They still managed to come back, probably just to spite me. Even though, I hate the Red Sox, they did a good job coming back from a 3-1 deficit. I cannot really say I did not expect this to happen, but I was hoping against it. I feel like the Red Sox were no where near being the best team in the AL. They were built to beat the Yankees, more than anything else. This was exposed for a lot of the season, they had trouble beating other teams, but very little trouble beating the Yanks. I think their GM focused on putting together a team to defeat their rivals, instead of a team to win a World Series.
A lot of analysts feel like the Red Sox made an amazing come back. It was definitely a great effort, but I feel like it was definitely predictable. After the Sox beat Sabathia in Game 5, I felt like the Series was over. They were going to be home for the last 2 games, and they had a huge edge in the pitching match ups. I am not saying the Indians were completely out of it, they definitely had some chances, but they did not come through on those opportunities.
With the way the Rockies are playing and the momentum they have, I do not see how they can be beat. However, the AL is a far superior league, and the Sox seem to be a far superior team on paper, but I guess that is why they play the game. The Rockies were the only team to have a winning record against the AL in interleague play, so be prepared for a great, competitive series.

Not to sound rude, but the Red Sox if they were built to beat the Yankees then they failed, because the Yankees this year out beat the Yankees in the regular season. It was actually a bad year for the Red Sox when it came to the Yankees.
And you should never count the Red Sox out. I mean last time they won the world series it was on a comeback from a 3-0 loss against the yankees.
