Last-second World Series predictions

The long layoff is over for Colorado. The brief one finished for Boston.

In 4 1/2 hours, the 2007 World Series begins at Fenway Park.

And, after going 2-for-2 in league championship series predictions, I'm going to take aim at picking the World Series winner.

So after trying to separate my fandom from my professionalism, I'll go with Boston in 6.

I think the Red Sox are going to outpitch the Rockies, however slightly, and the Boston bats will take care of the rest.

We'll see over the next eight days if my recent hot streak (4-for-6) continues, or if I'm back to my loathsome 2006 form (0-for-the postseason).
