Furthermore, who gives a ing ? It's typical san antonio jealousy. They wish they had more then one sport so they knock all other cities.
Game time was early es, get over it.
Go Rockies. Ducks blows.
Again... what part of 5:30 p.m. start time do people refuse to understand?

That was a tough game to lose, in more way than one. Now the Diamondbacks are going to have to take two of three just to get back home. That's rough. To tie the game in the 9th, then blow it in the 11th sucks... Give credit where credit is due. Rockies out-D'backed the D'backs last night.
I actually like the rockies
I want it to go 5-6 games
I want the games to be close
I have went to rockies games
used to live 4 hours from them 10 years ago
I want either the rockies or diamondbacks to win it all
What I do not like is the fact everyone is underestimating the diamondbacks
they are a very solid club
and ofcourse I do not like nuggets because I like the spurs
and ofcourse I do not like bronco's because I like the chargers!
yes because the rockies have proven so much in the postseason
atleast the diamondbacks won it all!
Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports is from San Antonio?

atleast the diamondbacks won it all!yea but this year its the Rockies year.
I love how people count them out all the time.
Coors field will be Rocking on Sunday Night.
If you want to see a real crowd then watch the games on Sunday and Monday.
None of this like it is in Arizona.
how are the rockies counted out 9 out of 10 espn experts picked the rockies to win the series

Yea but a bunch of fans and media people dont think so. It seems like every series people say they wont win. I'd love to see them just coast to a World Series le.
And Only like half of baseball tonight picked them.
I think 2 said Rockies and 2 said D-backs, You ing Jewish !
25 out of thier last 26 games.
That would be the greatest streak in the history pretty much.
They just dont know how to lose.
and IMO the Phillies are much better then the D-backs so I expected this series to be easy. I thought the Phillies series would be tough.
If they get by the D-backs we will see how much they have left vs an AL team.
It should be exciting.:
Well, that should increase the level of discourse around here . . . . .
What I don't get is how people offering an honest opinion about how the series will turn out is a sign of disrespect for the Rockies -- that is the point you're suggesting here, isn't it?
One team has to win the series and one team has to lose. The Diamondbacks had a better record than the Rockies did this season and, IMO, beat a better team than the Phillies in the LDS. It doesn't strike me as unreasonable, given the better record and the argument that the D'Backs beat a better first playoff opponent, for someone to conclude before this series began that the D'Backs might actually have a chance to win.
When did we reach the point that people picking against a team are disrespecting it?
People saying a team sucks are disrespecting that team; people saying that they're not going to win a particular playoff series aren't saying that team sucks -- they're saying that they think the other team is better. Someone HAS TO BE better in every series and it can't be that everytime a prognosticator chooses, he or she is disrespecting the team not chosen to win.
Our notions of respect and disrespect have no relationship to the meaning of those words . . . .
I don't know if the Cubs are better than the Phillies. With the 100 year choke factor I'd definitely give the edge to the Phillies.
What a grab by Ojeda!
After reading this thread, I really wish I had been made aware that whichever team I picked need not actually play the games to win the series.
Man, I could have saved a lot of airfare expenses.
Damn nice swing from Torrealba.
That was a fun game to be at. That Ojeda catch was right in front of me. Un-freaking-believable. One of the better snags I've seen in a while. Great Juggling act.
Hopefully the Rockies take care of business at home on Monday.
No, that wasn't the point I was suggesting............now all that typing seems like a waste doesn't it?
i think it's a mistake starting Owings over Webb.
if you pitched Webb tonight you could start him again for game 7.
Webb's been cruches by the Rockies on full rest. Why pitch him on short rest? Owings is young and may be stupid enough to not know how big this game is ... Though, Owings hasn't pitched in like two weeks. Maybe that's TOO rested? Still, I think you need to give your youngster a taste of postseason play. You can't waste an entire postseason and not pitch a healthy starter who may be your #2 pitcher the following season...
what a dumb statement that is... how could he not know if he does bad his team is going home. there is no tomorrow for the D'backs
The Rockies own Webb. They've beaten him something like 8 of the last 11 times they've faced him. Throwing him at the Rockies on short rest would be suicide.
His point was valid. A young pitcher is more likely to just go out and throw regardless of the situation. Just like John Lackey in game 7 of the WS for the Angels. It's not preferred to having a tested veteran, but it can be an advantage for a young guy as long as he has great stuff.
iv'e heard it many times... i just don't believe in it.
Why is a young player more likely to just go out there and throw with no pressure? He hasn't grown up knowing that you lose 4 games and your done? I'll take my Cy Young winner over a young guy that doesn't "know any better".
This thing could get really interesting if the D'Backs are able to find a way to win tonight. With Webb looming in Game 5 and Games 6 & 7 in Phoenix, the D'Backs aren't out of this quite yet.
That's incorrect. Since 2005, Webb has made 14 starts against the Rockies. He's 5-4 in those starts and the D'Backs are 3-2 in games in which Webb hasn't figured in the decision, so he couldn't have lost 8 of 11 -- he's won 5 of 9 and his team has won 8 of 14.
Webb's career record against the Rockies is 8-7 in 21 starts with a 3.89 ERA.
What an insane run by the Rockies.
