The fact is the National Leauge is behind in baseball just like the National Conference is behind in football.
Boston
Cleveland
Angels
Yankees
Everyone of these teams are better than any team the National League has. Everyone of these teams would have beat the Rockies in the WS. The Rockies had to beat who to get to WS? Can you even remember? Could the Rockies have beaten the Mariners in the WS?
They had a great run to get there. They were the NL champs. They should be proud of that. But the AL is so far ahead of the NL right now its ridiculous. Who would be the favorite if the Indians and Rockies played a WS right now? Who would be the favorite if the Yankees and Rockies played or the Angels and Rockies played?
They dont have the pitching people. They dont have the kind of offense to get past the kind of pitching that the dominant AL teams have. They have the defense. But if you can not score and you can not shut down the others teams offense it doesnt matter. Great season Rockies. Now you better go find some pitching. And you better find a couple of more legit sticks. Or it will be at least another 25 years or so before you make it back to the WS. And then you will probaly get swept again.
It kind of sounds like the NFL doesnt it? Patriots , Colts , Chargers are better than anyone in the NFC. The Super Bowl will be played when the Pats and Colts meet in the playoffs. Then they will have the consolation game called the Super Bowl.
