We're standing pat with the picks in the Division Series, save for one.
We see Boston & Houston advancing to the ALCS, and we see Los Angeles over Atlanta. That leaves.....
Colorado vs. Milwaukee: Should've remembered that Miller & Coors merged a long time ago, but nonetheless the suds will be pouring at Miller Park & Coors Field over the next week.
Be that as it may, the Brewers are looking to get back to the World Series for the first time since 1982, when they were an American League team (lost to St. Louis). The Rockies haven't waited as long, as they fell to Boston in 2007. Matt Holliday, a key component of the 2007 Colorado club, is back in Denver after signing a minor league contract earlier this year (finished last season with the Yankees), but there's every reason to believe this could be the last round-up for Holliday, though you just never know in this crazy business anymore.
I'm just begging Fox (FS1 is carrying the NLDS) to let Milwaukee radio voice and Hall of Famer Bob Uecker get some time in the TV booth. Give the guy his props already.
This is tough to call because both teams don't have the star power of, say for example, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, or the Yankees. Ryan Braun is on the downside of his career, and wouldn't mind finishing with the championship in hand. News flash. It ain't gonna happen.
Pick: Rockies in 5. Call them Destiny's Children.
Hey Hobby:
ReplyDeleteWas wondering if you're planning a post on the beginning of hockey season?
The Las Vegas Golden Knights are starting their secnd season on the ice and there's a great little video they put out this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOnDYmYVjwo
I haven't done season previews for hockey before, if but because I jump in after the World Series. I may do one this time. Stay tuned.
