NBX: Stewart: Throwin Heat - Post-season Predictions

Scratching!...Scrapping!...Hungry!...Intensity!...Tenaciousness!  Cool, a retrospective of Tura Satana’s career! Ohh…it’s only the Colorado Rockies.

COL/PHI… I thought the Phillies would be tough before the season started, but I’m going with the Rockies. Nobody saw this team coming, but they’re not a secret anymore. Like Arizona, this team scratched and scraped their way here, but had an even tougher road. Colorado is filled with young, hungry players who are not only talented, but also have great intangibles. With some teams it’s helpful to have playoff experience. However, I don’t think this team’s lack of experience matters. The Rockies are playing great ball and their intensity and tenaciousness in that final game against the Padres was truly impressive. This team is gonna win it all.

These teams can't carry Stewart's jock.

The reasons given in the quote above are horrendous. The truth is that the Rockies might be the best team in the NL without all that stuff. They certainly aren't significantly worse than anyone else in the NL. They were my pre-playoff pick to go to the series.

I like how there's no real analysis anywhere in there. It's all about "feel", baby!

LAA/BOS... These are two excellent teams filled with great players and big bats. However, I like the Angels to come out of this one for no other reason than their pitching. It's a tough call because the Red Sox have a great pitching staff as well, but I simply have more confidence in the guys the Angels will be sending to the mound.
