BOSTON -- When the Rockies polished off the Red Sox, 7-1, on June 14 in the rubber game of a three-game series at Fenway Park, rookie shortstop Troy Tulowitzki had a prediction for his teammates.
''After the series I actually said, 'We're going to come back here and play in the World Series.' '' Tulowitzki said Tuesday afternoon.
''The guys on the team looked at me like I was crazy,'' he said. ''But here we are.''
Maybe Tulowitzki should become a fortune teller when his baseball-playing days are behind him. At the time of his prediction, the Rockies were hardly a lock to win the National League wild card, let alone find their way into the World Series. The June 14 victory boosted their record to just 33-33, leaving them fourth in the N.L. West.
