thefiestygoat Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I never would have thought that these two teams would be competing for the NL title and a chance at the World Series. My pick is the Diamondbacks to win this. The Rockies have been so hot for so long, they are bound to run out of luck. Baseball is a streaky sport and I just don't see there streak going too much further. Nonetheless it is an interesting matchup and should be fun to watch.

Baseball is a streaky sport and I just don't see there streak going too much further. Nonetheless it is an interesting matchup and should be fun to watch. I have family near Denver so I became a defacto Rockies sympathizer when they came into the league. I also have family near Phoenix so I also became a defacto Diamondbacks sympathizer when THEY came into the league. So yeah, I'm cool with this series. I think it'll be a fun one to watch. Everyone seems to be picking D-Backs but I think I'm going to stay with the Rockies. I think they have one more series in them in this streak, before they fall in the World Series.

SatansDevils Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 GO ROCKIES!!! Bye bye Philly. What a waste of time with that team. Mets would have done a better showing that the Phillies. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I hate all things Colorado. I'm rooting for the Indians to win it all mainly cause I don't like Boston or Arizona either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleton_devil Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Name a sports franchise that does not gain more fans when they are playing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmadd Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to point out here. It is better not to support your local team when they are playing well? Well, whatever your point may be, I can tell you that everybody here is now crazy for the Rockies. The vast majority may be bandwagoniers but that is fine with me. It's good to see everybody excited about the Rockies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Rockies in 6 games. They are the hottest team coming into the playoffs and the way they just shut down Philly they are the team to beat this playoffs in the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRASHER Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Can I nominate a POD? Coz this one totally is it. You could if I hadn't beaten the gimmick to death seems you can only be the Dallas Cowboys and survive (and I do mean SURVIVE ) the SD-Hex-Smackdown!

Satans Hockey Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Well the Rockies are up 2-0 in the series so the SD curse hasn't affected their streak yet either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Maybe SD will actually be right about something. Great game last night if anyone stayed up and watched.

Derek21 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm really glad I was totally wrong about this series. Colorado is on an amazing run. I hope they win the whole thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmadd Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm really looking forward to the World Series. I don't think that they layoff will affect the Rockies. Frankly, I hope the other series goes 7 games and the remainder of the games are all extra innings. I certainly wouldn't mind a tired out AL team coming here. As for which AL team, I'm pulling for the Indians. There are just too many Red Sox fans all over the place. I went to the game when they came here a couple of years ago and it was ridiculous! The vast majority were Sox fans. Of course, I hope this would be different in the World Series, but there are still bound to be too many Sox fans there. Tickets go on sale next Monday. I'll be taking a very early lunch to attempt to get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
