I think they’ve got a pretty good chance. I support that statement with actual facts in my latest offering at Hardball Times.

J.C. Bradbury is holding a contest over at Sabernomics. Let him know how much you think Alex Rodriguez will sign for as a free agent, and you could win J.C.’s book, The Baseball Economist (aff link). Using the sophisticated WAG system, I went with 8 years, $259.1 million.
Good luck…

Somehow I’d missed this earlier. Colorado’s Todd Helton and Boston’s Kevin Youkilis have blogs that they’ve been updating throughout the postseason.
From a recent post by Helton:
I’m told that my teammates appreciate what I’ve contributed, and I hope so. I try not to be overbearing. I try to play as hard as I can, do my […]

The Red Sox are back in the World Series. They rolled over Cleveland on Sunday night, 11-2. They outscored the Indians, 30-5, over the final three games of the ALCS, which is as good a definition of “domination” as I can find.
Ladies and gentleman, prepare for the insufferable. Ben Affleck has just become vaguely relevant […]
Uh-oh. The Red Sox aren’t going away.
You had to figure the Indians were hosed when the series returned to Fenway. On the one hand, they’ve never lost a postseason series to a team from Boston — they swept the Red Sox in three games in ‘95 and beat the Braves in six in the ‘48 […]
The ALCS heads back to Boston. While the Rockies do whatever it is teams do while they’re waiting for their opponent to be determined, the Indians and Red Sox hook up for Game 6 on Saturday night (first pitch: 5 p.m. PT).
This is a rematch of last week’s Fausto Carmona/Curt Schilling showdown. The Indians won […]
Yeah, I’m getting in late on this, but the Yankees are pretty low on my radar. It’s not like there’s a shortage of people in the world who are willing to tell you what happened and give you their opinion on it.
That said, long-time Yankees manager Joe Torre has stepped down. He was presented with […]
Remember that thing I said yesterday about Josh Beckett? I believe my exact words were, “time for Beckett to pitch the game of his life.”
Heh. I suppose 11 strikeouts over eight innings qualifies.
Now we have a day off (on a Friday, so I can watch Stargate Atlantis in real time) before the series returns to […]
