LCS Sets up for History Making

This year in both the ALCS and the NLCS, all four teams carry unusual stories, and one will have their miracle season after all. Lets start with the Boston Red Sox. After the most unbelievable championship droughts in all of sports, the Red Sox could head to the World Series for the second time in five years, the new superpower in MLB. The Cleveland Indians were previously one of the most struggling teams in baseball, but have used their pitching rotation to win the AL Central title in 2007. The Colorado Rockies have been the bandwagon team for undecided fans across the United States, following their amazing 1- game playoff comeback in extra innings, to the sweep of the soaring Phillies, to their first NLCS appearance in history. More impressive, is that they only have 4 postseason wins in their franchise's span. The Arizona Diamondbacks turned it around, leading the turnaround from the laughing stock of the National League, all the way up to legitamate pennant winners and World Series champs. All these teams have MVP type players, and the impatience of youth scattered through their roster. But, like they say, there is only one October, and their will be only one World Champion.
