World Series

I wish it lasted longer and had some better games. Last night was decent. Those days off really screwed the Rockies over. Every year after a team like Boston or New York wins, the issue comes up that baseball is unfair. But explain the Rockies? Sure, they got swept, but Boston was almost knocked out by Cleveland, remember. These aren't huge market teams.

I don't know. I know the A's had a great stretch there for awhile being a small market team and competing. Big market teams, like Boston, however, got smart and mimicked the A's strengths (developing prospects) and then also bought big name free agents. The A's never got over the hump and into the World Series, they kept losing to the Yankees and then finally the Tigers (another medium market team). This year, the A's got decimated by injuries and a small market team can't recover from that. But could Boston have survived without Beckett? I doubt it.

Smart money beats more money, but more smart money beats smart money.
