If Colorado's Game 1 loss to the Boston Red Sox was any indication as to how the entire World Series would play out, they can just spare everybody the boredom and hand Boston its title.

Josh Beckett was dominating, and Colorado's decision-making early on was questionable (infield in down 1-0 in the first?). However, all is not lost for these rusty Rockies because in baseball, there are no style points.

Lose 13-1 or 6-5 or 30-3 (like the Orioles did to Texas earlier this year), it still only counts as one loss. Unfortunately for the Rox, the domination didn't happen soon enough for Clint Hurdle's bunch not to use a big chunk of its bullpen.

Don't get me wrong. Boston was dominant from the start, but these Rockies pretty much believe they can comeback from anything. If history is any indication, this series is over given that the winner of Game 1 has won the last nine of 10 series.

On the other hand, Atlanta beat the New York Yankees by 12 in Game 1 of the 1996 series, and New York clobbered them four games to two.

Anything is possible. However, I'm not counting on it.

Boston's playoff savvy is too big a mountain for these Rocky Mountain youngsters to overcome just yet.

Then again, win Game 2, and we have a situation developing.
