NLDS Game 2 Live Blog: Phillies Vs. Rockies
You can't expect the Phillies' top stars to go hitless again, but it's clear that they're in some serious trouble if they lose this game. It's Franklin Morales for the Rockies and Kyle Kendrick for the Phillies, and if that doesn't scream Playoff Baseball, we don't know what does....
Some Quiet, Bewildered Phillies Fans
We'll be doing short wrapup posts about each of yesterday's games, by the way. In case you're wondering....

Clint Hurdle Has Always Been A Romantic
We are all in the midst of Rockies Fever — oh, and Phillies Fever; we're in the midst of that too — so we take a time out to remember manager Clint Hurdle's finest moment: The time he was arrested for trying to bring a little love to the planet....
Where My Team Stands: Colorado Rockies
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....
Playoff Pants Party: Phillies Vs. Rockies
The best part about the playoffs is that every team can, legitimately, be considered a "team of destiny." The only team last year that probably didn't have a claim as a "team of destiny" going into the playoffs was the team who won the World Series....

What they're saying out there in the ether about Colorado's 9-8 win over San Diego in the NL tiebreaker ......
Not Safe At Home, But, Please, Don't Give Us Instant Replay
We're still all a-twitter about that amazing Rockies win over the Padres last night; it's rather difficult to be more dramatic than a three-run comeback in the bottom of the 13th inning with the whole season on the line. Oh, and there's controversy too!...
He Didn't Touch The Plate, But Hey: Thus, It Goes
We are not sure if that was a home run in the early innings or not — we think it probably was — but we know that he was not safe at home plate. At a certain level, we can't help but think it was a back-up-I-don't-want-any-trouble call from the home plate umpire, Tim McClellan. He knew the runner did...
Rockies-Padres, For A Trip To Philadelphia!
It is not often the eyes of baseball fans are focused on Coors Field in Colorado, but in about 20 minutes, that's exactly where they'll be. We couldn't be more excited....
Rocky Mountain High (In Colorado)
As Tuco said when he got the drop on Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, "There are two kinds of spurs, my friend. Those that come in by the door [crosses himself], and those that come in by the window." The Rockies came in the latter way, beating the Diamondbacks 4-3 on Sunday to forc...
Phillies Just Sank Mets' Jengajam
As most of you have already seen, Tom Glavine's outing today didn't last too long — maybe he was double parked? — as the Florida Marlins lit up Mr. 300 with seven runs in the first inning en-route to an 8-1 win. With that, they needed Philadelphia to lose and force a tie. They've been counting on Ph...
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....
Taste The Rockies, Losers! Taste Them!
The Colorado Rockies need a theme song! After beating the Dodgers on Thursday for their 11th straight win — the longest winning streak in the majors this season — they are on the verge of making the playoffs for only the second time in their history. The Rockies are one game out in the wild-card rac...
All Aboard The Rockies Freight Train
We don't know about the rest of you, but as the National League makes its mad scramble to the finish, with still no playoff spots secured, the team we're developing an emotional attachment to are the Colorado Rockies....
Ow! My Playoff Chances!
Has a major league player ever before been injured after he was ejected from a game? Come on Elias Sports Bureau, make yourselves useful for once! Milton Bradley may be headed to the DL because of an umpire, he says. It was manager Bud Black who grabbed Bradley and spun him to the ground, preventing...
We're Back From The Snack Bar; What'd We Miss?
We here at Deadspin are proud to announce our first unassisted triple play. We're so proud. Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki worked the magic against the Braves in the seventh inning of a tie game on Sunday. With runners on first and second, Tulowitzki caught Chipper Jones' line drive, then steppe...
Your NL West "Preview"
Whew, last one. We'd like to point out a couple of the pictures above. First, we enjoyed choosing a picture of Tony Clark for the D-Backs one, considering he's the opposite of a Diamondback this year. Second: Steve Finley is on the Rockies? Wow!...
Baseball Season Preview: Colorado Rockies
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
