3-0 over Philly early. The momentum continues and nobody can stop it.

rockies should get to ws
hope the yankees can get that far so they can lose to the other expansion team in the ws
they already lost to the diamondbacks
1 down. 2 to go and the Philly loser streak continues!
3 home runs so far today thru 4
Kaz knocking a GS really helps things out. If they get this one on the road they'll close out at home in probably 4, maybe 3. These guys have been raking for weeks now just to get in the playoffs and they aren't stopping now.
they should walk rollins!
Colorado 10, Philadelphia 4 thru 6
Just read that the Rockies are going to donate their playoff share to the Coolbaugh Family Fund.

Too bad they're losing to Arizona in the NLCS.

i was at the game last night, the D-Backs look frickin' good.
Arizona's about to get raped.
Just heard that Mike's boys are going to toss out the first pitches on Saturday.
What wonderful efforts at remembrance by the Rockies! I have no problem jumping on that bandwagon -- none.
Go Rockies.
I'm praying for a Rockies/Yankees WS
I have tickets to the NLDS games 3 and 4.
NLCS games 4 and 5.
So I hope they clinch in both series.
The City of Denver would go nuts.
Rockies to share postseason payout with Coolbaugh's widow

Rockies to share postseason payout with Coolbaugh's widow

Besides their surprising 14-1 finish to the season, the Colorado Rockies are giving baseball fans another reason to cheer for them this postseason.
The widow of Rockies minor league coach Mike Coolbaugh, who died after getting hit by a line drive this season, will be granted a full share of the team's playoff winnings after a team vote.
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said the gesture spoke volumes about the quality of the character in their locker room.
"I was passed on the information that they voted Amanda Coolbaugh a share, a full share, which I found speaks to their awareness, speaks to their passion, speaks to every good thing about them," Hurdle said.
Coolbaugh, who is 32 and pregnant, won't attend Saturday's Game 3 of the NLDS between the Phillies and Rockies at Coors Field. But her two sons, Joseph, 5, and Jacob, 3, will be in attendance and will throw out the first pitch.
"When I heard about what the players did, I almost cried," Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said. "This was the players' idea. I think it's remarkable."
Mike Coolbaugh was a first base coach for the Tulsa Drillers. The former major leaguer was killed July 22.
Shaken by Coolbaugh's death, Rockies first base coach Glenallen Hill now wears a helmet.
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said awarding the family a share was the right thing to do.
"We're obviously happy with the decision,'' Tulowitzki said on Thursday. "I hope they are, too, and I'm sure they will be.''

...And the Marlins
I'll root for the Rockies now. That is a great gesture by them!
oh I forgot about the fish
Game 1 win in Arizona. They're coming for 'ya DBacks!!
Check. Mate.
Who called it?
Enjoy the feeling.
The play of throwing the ball to first to clinch and then the pile up at the middle of the infield is a feeling you never want to go away.
Congrats Rockies
Helton looked like Michael Finley with the awe struck demeanor. Good to see him making the most of his 11 year coming 1st postseason appearance.
