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....
NLCS Blogdome: Welcome To Whacking Day
Views of the NLCS Game 3 from around the Internets....
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....
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,...
NLCS Blogdome: Taste The Pennant
A quick look at what the Internets are saying about the Rockies' 3-2 win in over the Diamondbacks in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series ......
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....
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 ......
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 kn...
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 th...
The Playoffs Are Back On, Finally
The last couple of days without baseball just felt interminable, didn't they? Two days off, in the middle of October? Inconceivable!...
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....
Fans Love Their Arizona Diamondbacks
We thought we'd honor each of the four teams left with a roundup of the nicest things each team's best blogs could say about them. See? We're sweet! Right now: The Arizona Diamondbacks....
The NLDS ... After Dark!
It's difficult, even for a Cardinals fan, to find much joy in these late-night Diamondback shellackings of the Cubs. A team that was outscored for the season is dominating a fellow division champion. Fortunately, the games have been too late for any children to see the carnage....
Don't Panic Just Yet, Cubs Fans
Because we are committed to the month of October affording us as little sleep as possible, we stayed up and watched the whole Cubs-Diamondbacks game last night, and we don't quite understand all the fuss about Lou Piniella pulling Carlos Zambrano after the sixth inning....
D-Backs Fans Enjoy Hot Tub Night
After a day of somewhat uninspiring but still compelling — it is the playoffs, after all — baseball, we have a some cocky Red Sox, some typically fretting Phillies fans and a Cubs team that has discovered just how the Diamondbacks have been winning all season. We already can't wait for it to rev ba...
Come Out To Mesa And Cheer On The Cubs!
The Mesa Cubs are one of the Chicago Cubs' minor league teams, playing in Fitch Park, which is just south of HoHoKam Park in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix. The Cubs have trained in Mesa for the last 10 years, so they've got a ton of fans over there. Perhaps more than the Diamondbacks do....
Playoff Pants Party: Diamondbacks Vs. Cubs
We will confess, being who we are, we find ourselves cheering against the Cubs in this series. This is not because we hate the Cubs; we do not. It is because Cardinals fans have become accustomed to the natural order of matters, and that natural order requires the Cubs to have not won the World Ser...
Where My Team Stands: Arizona Diamondbacks
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom....
Your National League Clusterphooey
All due respect to the playoffs next week, but we can't fathom a much more exciting turkeyshoot than the National League this weekend. We're three days away from the end of the season, and not a single team has clinched, with seven still in the chase. It's insane....
