Red Sox in 5

10/22/2007 12:12:50 AM

i can't imagine the rockies win this.

10/22/2007 12:35:25 AM

Yeah a team that has only won 21 out of their last 22 games. They have no chance.

LOL I remember last year when some fool on this board who's name I won't say said Tigers in 3.

10/22/2007 12:37:28 AM

to this series

10/22/2007 1:06:41 AM

in reality, there's no way the red sox lose this series

but who in their right mind could bet against the rockies right now?

the only thing i see working against them is the long layoff

10/22/2007 1:16:49 AM

Man if you like baseball how could you not like this series?

These two teams couldn't be much hotter. One team has won 21 out of 22 games. The other just came back from 3-1 down to win 3 in a row to win. Both have exciting big hitters like Papi, Manny, Holiday, and Helton. Not to mention the lineups around those guys are really good too.

^I worry about the layoff too and how these young guys will handle Fenway and the big stage. Anyhow I will be rooting for them all the way. Go Rockies!

Rockies won 2 of 3 at Fenway this year.
Rockies outscored the Red Sox, 20-5, in the series.
Rockies were one of just two teams to beat the Red Sox's top two pitchers, Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling.

I have tickets for game 4 here in Denver

And I'll be looking for more tickets tomorrow

jesus christ, are you in third grade?

10/22/2007 8:56:17 AM

I've always wondered why don't baseball teams on long layoffs find another team to play one exhibition against, just to stay sharp.

10/22/2007 8:58:24 AM

This long lay off can't do anything but hurt the Rockies.....but GO Rockies !!!

10/22/2007 9:01:41 AM

from what I've heard for the most part people in Colorado couldn't give a shit about baseball/the rockies.

would a world series win make them become band wagoners and actually care?

10/22/2007 9:26:29 AM

it sure worked for the hurricanes.

10/22/2007 10:25:43 AM

go sox!

you're right, they're even hotter now!

fan comparison isn't even fair, the rockies have only been a team for 14 years, of which only made it to the playoffs once and lost in division series. they also have only had 2 season of which they had 50 wins and barely make it over .500 each season. red sox has been around for what, 106 years? have 12 pennants and 6 world series titles?

you're out of your mind if you think that the rockies would have a huge national fan base like the sox, and you're kidding yourself if you think the red sox don't have one of the biggest bandwagon's in the nation, because they do.

Denver is a pretty good sports town. From what I read they sold out the LCS in like 10 minutes...

10/22/2007 11:38:03 AM

Yeah. This is as close as the Broncos will ever get to not being Top Dog.

10/22/2007 11:54:58 AM

I'm torn as to who I want to win this

I dont really care about the Rockies much eitherway, but after they got into the playoffs on a questionable call, I almost want them to lose out of principle

I should pull for the Red Sox because they are in the AL and the Indians pushed them to the brink of elimination, but I just cant stand the majority of the cocky Sawks fans and their damn accents. Not to mention the fact that I hate almost all of the players on the team, especially Manny, Beckett, Lugo (the bizarro Prince), and Pedroia's pig nose.

10/22/2007 12:05:18 PM

I hate pulling against the AL, but no fucking way I root for the Sox.

Of course, I probably won't watch the series at all.

10/22/2007 1:48:34 PM

rockies in 1

10/22/2007 1:52:54 PM

Matt Holliday is the son of current NC State Baseball Team Associate Head Coach Tom Holliday

thats reason enough to pull for the Rockies


GO ROCKIES!

10/23/2007 2:29:53 PM

10/23/2007 2:32:21 PM

is anybody trying to get tickets right now? i'm in denver, will buy from you

oh yeah, and GO ROCKIES

[Edited on October 23, 2007 at 2:53 PM. Reason : asdf]

10/23/2007 2:43:58 PM

It's about game time!

GO ROCKIES Win this shit and shut up all the bandwagon fuckers.

I love the people who say I like the Sox because I hate the Yankees.

10/24/2007 8:16:13 PM

Thats why I like them



of course, thats why I've liked them for 23 years, but thats still the reason why

10/24/2007 8:19:23 PM

RED!

go rockies

10/24/2007 8:22:14 PM

I love Beckett dont get me wrong, the guy is nasty

but I hope the Rockies can beat him, if they beat him...they can beat anyone in the game this year thats for sure.

i just love the underdogs in any sport.

10/24/2007 8:27:18 PM

was it just me...or did that pre-game broadcast group SUCK BALLS..

Go Sox!

[Edited on October 24, 2007 at 8:28 PM. Reason : yea]

10/24/2007 8:28:08 PM

glad I got home in time for the "8 pm" start time, this gets more ridiculous every year

10/24/2007 8:29:05 PM

Being a yanks fan I have to root for the rockies...that being said the rockies won't beat beckett. Rockies in 7

10/24/2007 8:30:53 PM

did joe buck ever say jub jub during the lcs?

10/24/2007 8:32:45 PM

meh, I dont care who wins this series.. Im just watching out of obligation.

10/24/2007 8:33:21 PM

I'm watching b/c I love baseball...anybody who regularly follows a team in my opinion should watch the world series...its the pinnacle of baseball. I may not like the teams in it, but I know I'm gonna be watching some damn good baseball.


Anyways thanks for whoever posted that link about Matt Holliday's dad that was a great read kinda cool to have a ncsu connection there

10/24/2007 8:46:40 PM

theres 1... just need one more and then Beckett can shut them down

10/24/2007 8:47:52 PM

that didn't take long

10/24/2007 8:48:03 PM

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ortiz bunting was fucking funny as shit... he still knocked the shit out of it haha

10/24/2007 8:50:17 PM

damn....i hate boston, but they can ball

10/24/2007 8:50:35 PM

holy shit, that was one ridiculous double

10/24/2007 9:08:36 PM

Francis sucks

10/24/2007 10:12:40 PM

Ehh there was more pressure for Boston to win this game IMO because of Beckett. After Beckett you don't know what you get especially with Wakefield out. Of course the Rockies rotation isn't the greatest. I think this game can mostly be chalked up to the long layoff. If Colorado can just sneak 1 win away in Boston they are in great shape.

He was on Conan last week and was telling a story about how people will bet him he can't fit certain random words into the broadcast, and the more obscure the word is, the higher the bet. Conan told him about how he'd been obsessed with the word "jub-jub" for a while (he's the one who named Selma's pet iguana Jub-Jub while he was still a writer for the Simpsons) and told Joe he'd give $1,000 to a charity of his choice if he could fit jub-jub somewhere in a world series broadcast

10/24/2007 10:20:01 PM

glad they called that balk.

10/24/2007 10:35:57 PM

40.50 ERA right now for morales

THIS GUY HAS ELECTRIC STUFF!!!!
