Boring Baseball Playoffs?

Say it ain't so? I read in the local paper recently that a certain columnist wasn't excited about the baseball playoffs and the potential Colorado-Cleveland World Series. That was before last night's spanking by Josh Beckett and the BoSox. It's alright to celebrate the Sox winning in 2004 for the first time since 1918, but not the Indians for getting to the Series since 1948? How about celebrating an organization working and getting it's ship righted? Cleveland is doing things well andbuilding from within instead of buying a good team. That is real baseball.

And the Rockies have finally learned that hitting homeruns and waiting for that lightning to strike doesn't always pay off. Nothing wrong with bunting and catching and throwing and good pitching is there? If these two teams get to the Series, it will be about playing baseball as it was intended. Though for me, I'd like to see a Colorado-Boston series.
