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....
