Colorado owner Charlie Monfort insisted after Game 4 of the World Series that the Rockies are a better team than the Boston Red Sox, a team that outscored them 29-10 in a four-game Series sweep. "These guys did amazing things," Monfort said. "I think this team is a better team than Boston. It would have been nice to have another two, three, four days. We'll wake up tomorrow and go, 'There's no baseball game to go to,' but what a deal they did. It's an amazing thing they accomplished just to get here." They were amazing, all right. But better than the Red Sox? "I think so," said Monfort. "How did we win 21 out of 22? We got the breaks. And I think they got the breaks. Are they a better team? I don't think so. You give us 10 games against them, we'll beat them six." --

Great column by King Kaufman at Salon today (which refutes everything Monfort claims):

Boston outscored Colorado 29-10 in the four games. Red Sox starters had a 1.54 earned run average, Rockies starters had an 8.83. The Red Sox hit .333, the Rockies .218. The Red Sox had a .407 on-base percentage and slugged .525 for an OPS of .932. The Rockies had a .273 on-base percentage and slugged .346 for an OPS of .619.
