Eric Byrnes Does Not Rock

Rockies Fans Have Earned It, History Or Not


Of all the photos we came across from Coors Field last night, we think this one is our favorite. Not because it reminds us of a similar experience, but because we think it's the only appropriate reaction to what the Rockies have done over the last month. This guy has probably never been happier, though we doubt he knows that lady next to him. More »

Your National League Champion Colorado Rockies


It seems surreal just to type it, but it's true: The Colorado Rockies are heading to the World Series. We shouldn't try to explain it. We'll just say this: We think the Rockies could probably beat the Patriots right now.

Probably Time For The Rockies To Wrap This Up

The Colorado Rockies have a rather serious opportunity to clinch their first trip to the World Series in their history tonight — their "history" being what it is — and it should happen about 1:30 a.m. tomorrow morning. We cannot imagine how cold it's going to be, and we know playoff cold. More »

NLCS Blogdome: Welcome To Whacking Day

Views of the NLCS Game 3 from around the Internets.

This Just Plain Rox. The Colorado Rockies are one win away from a National League pennant. Eric Byrnes can call it luck. Rockies fans can call it destiny. Baseball analysts can try to explain the Rockies 20-1 run and yet fail to come up with the right word for it. Personally, I'll stick with absolutes. The Rox have a 3-0 lead on the Diamondbacks. They need one win for a pennant, five wins for a World Series championship. None of that seems out of the realm of possibility, despite the past 28 days seeming entirely beyond that realm.

Will They Even Bother Playing A Game 4?


Diamondbacks are now understanding what Cubs fans went through last week; they're experiencing a series where absolutely nothing goes right, and it's pretty much over before you had quite adjusted to the fact that it had started in the first place. More »

The Rockies Will Destroy All That You Hold Dear, Without Even Trying


You can go ahead and call this NLCS boring. The Colorado Rockies fans surely don't think so. It's a 3-0 lead, and the Rockies have now won a ridiculous 20 of their last 21 games. We don't understand anything anymore, not that anyone ever did.

Take Me Up To The Mile-High City

Now that was a solid sports weekend! Two playoff baseball games went to extra innings; Kentucky and Oregon State upset the top two teams in the nation; Midnight Madness kicked off; we've got the Pats and the 'Boys duking it out; there was probably a NASCAR crash in there somewhere ... action packed, folks. Action. Packed. And we're not even done yet! More »

Groundskeeper Willy To The Rescue

Did I stay up late to watch Willy Taveras' amazing game-saving catch? No. Red Bull tends to give me the runs, not wings. But have I already watched it a few hundred times on SportsCenter this morning? You betcha! God is good, Christopher Llyod is great. More »

NLCS Blogdome: Rockies Clear First Hurdle


What they're saying out there in the ether about the Rockies' 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series ...

• The Rockies sure looked good last night as they beat the D-backs pretty convincingly without getting a single extra-base hit. That means they've now won their last 43 road games in a row. This team is HOT! In all honesty though, the Rockies actually look like they can beat whoever wins the ALCS. The D-backs would have no chance against either Cleveland or Boston. Too little hitting, not enough pitching. But the Rockies resemble an AL team right now. Great pitching, great hitting, great chemistry. If they reach the World Series (they will), they'll have a better shot at winning it than most people will probably give them. [100 Percent Injury Rate]

Nobody Will Stop The Rampaging Monster That Is The Colorado Rockies

Whatever you think of the Diamondbacks' fan display last night — an embarrassment, an isolated incident, a roundabout way to recycle — we don't understand why anyone is considering it a response to a "controversial" play. It was not a controversial call; Justin Upton clearly brought up his arm to knock down Kaz Matsui, and that's illegal. Arizona manager Bob Melvin is obliged to come out and argue the call — it ended his team's last gasp rally — but no reasonable person can argue it was the wrong call. Not that it isn't still a good reason to throw stuff! More »

The Rockies Have Become Vaguely Ridiculous


We're not sure what the heck has happened to the Colorado Rockies in the last month, but they've now won 18 of 19 games. They dominated tonight, once again. It's probably God. We're not gonna question it: We're just gonna stand, jaw agape, and wonder, if they sweep the rest of the postseason, if they'll go 162-0 next year. Hey, look out: Here comes another bottle!

NLCS Pants Party: Diamondbacks Vs. Rockies

Obviously, no one would have predicted this matchup coming in, but that is, after all, the fun of all this. Plus, in a way, it's nice to have two franchises born in the '90s battling it out for the World Series. There's a certain modern nature to it; maybe they'll run the bases with jet packs. More »

Rockies Still Aware They're The Chosen Ones

So you remember how the Rockies talked about how they're a Christian clubhouse, and how it raised a big stink and they backed off and lowered their profile? Well, they're at it again, and they're legitimately claiming that their amazing late-season run is the result of God's will. More »

Fun With Extinct Clothing

We're sure this happens all the time, but it's still funny when Major League Baseball accidentally slips and posts it. Last night and up until early this morning, you could buy this sweatshirt from MLB.com, prominently featuring the upcoming World Series matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Mets.
