Boston: Fear the Juggernaught

Yes, I realize the Rockies have to win two more games against the Diamondbacks to advance to the World Series. The Red Sox have to win three. But Red Sox fans are already looking ahead to what seems to be the likely WS matchup, so I thought I would too. I go to school in Boston. My dorm is literally right across the street from Fenway. I can hear the crowd react to plays before the TV shows me, so I think I can pretty accurately say that they’re fucking terrified of the Colorado Rockies.

Here’s how I know. Last week it was, “oh, cool, the Rockies, what a surprise, mid-market team winning, lolz, how cute.” This week, in the traditional Boston fashion, everyone is being a total asshole about the Rockies. But you know what, it’s cool. I understand. If there was a chance my team had to face the Rockies in the World Series, I’d be scared shitless too.
