The World Series gets under way tonight when the Colorado Rockies meet the Boston Red Sox. Although it's been hard to watch the post season this year (painful memories of the Mets collapse), I'm trying to figure out whom I should be rooting for:

Colorado Rockies

1. I've always been a National League fan.
2. The Rockies have never been to the World Series before.
3. The amazing Rockies streak is a great underdog story.

Boston Red Sox

1. A Red Sox championship would really piss off Yankee fans for a whole year.

I guess I'll root for the Rockies (which will now jinx them) but I don't know how good it looks for them. Sure the Rockies have won an amazing 20 of their last 21 games, but they've won zero in the last week while waiting at home. Meanwhile the Red Sox are now hot, coming back to win their last three in a row to beat the Indians. History is always on the side of the hotter team and the hotter team right now are the Sox.
