What This Means For Us: Colorado Rockies
It's a long road to the World Series, and perhaps only the diehards truly understand how far their team had to come. We've asked two writers who lust for their favorite teams to describe what it means to be here, in the World Series. First up: The Colorado Rockies. Your author is Mark T.R. Donohue....
The Rockies Could Make Some Folks Some Cash
We kick off our World Series coverage in the first place many of you will be looking: The arena of gambling. We tend to think this series as rather tight, hardly some obvious mismatch ... but it appears Vegas disagrees....
The Rockies Are Gonna Try This Ticket Thing Again
As some had predicted, the Rockies had all kinds of issues selling their World Series tickets online yesterday. That's a problem, because, you know, they have a game at Coors on Saturday....
Take That, Papi
Because we wouldn't be Deadspin if we didn't post some disturbing, pseudo-bukkake-esque celebration photos, we give you your 2007 American League Champion Boston Red Sox version. We are still giggling that Ortiz had his goggles on in the dugout with two outs left to go....

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.

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....

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,...
