How Sweep It Is! Rockies Win NLCS!

I won't erase the image of Helton going ape shit as Byrnes lay there head down, motionless.

One of the best plays for Byrnes in the series was when Holliday hit the home run in the third game and Byrnes ran straight into the wall full speed.

Not quite as impressive as Boston's 8 straight wins on the way to a title in 2004.

I will celebrate the "first day I see an AF not post something about how the Red Sox are amazing or refer to '04" every year. That is, if I see the day...

Considering Boston won the first four of those games while facing elimination, I have to agree that their streak was more impressive.

I thought we were using the eff@ck.yes system now? Or am I way off eff@cking.base?

A well placed "Fuck" always is appreciated, sometimes it may be medically neccessary! But as to not ruffle the groin feathers the Irritably Peevish, why not take our good friend, Creativity out for a spin?

Chances are, it will be dumb but at least we can't laugh at you if it isn't funny (and still know you meant "fuck")

We know you mean fuque, we read phuk in our heads, but you don't gotta say phuck! It's just fhuching overkill, for fxuck's sake! (it has an ephing silent x)

Now you try it, deahkcuf!

That's a terrible comparison! George Mason was a mid-major NCAA team that lacked the talent to beat most of the teams they did in the tournament. Furthermore, George Mason stands literally no chance of making the Final Four in the next decade.

The Rockies are a professional team, just like the rest of the teams in MLB, and if you paid attention to the Rockies lineup this year, it really shouldn't be a surprise that they can outhit just about any other team in the National League. Based on the age of the players (Todd Helton excepted), this team could be a perennial power in the National League for the next couple years.

The only real comparison is that they both were lucky to make the playoffs/tournament and ended up winning a bunch of games when they got there.

There is no crying in baseball.

Red Sox have to get to the World Series first...

Bombers quote, said by a former Red Sox player, Pedro Martinez. Like Falcon said, the Red Sox need to get to the world series first.

I tell you what, after last night, the Sox are in big trouble. They looked straight awful.

Yeah, tell me about it. If Jason Varitek is the only player to get at least 1 RBI, I guess we're screwed. We can't hit of friggin Jake Westbrook. HOW SAD!

Romi - Bombers quote/as you call it "Pedro's quote" comes from Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own

I'd prefer Matt Holliday. But then again, who wouldn't?

If the Indians win, there will be snowouts in hell!

Ever?

Sorry, that looks goofy with the link in the middle, I'd never used a link in a comment before and didn't realize it wouldn't work. Here's a clean version: First of all, congratulations to the Rockies for making it this far. But let's be honest Colorado: did you even know you had a team before a couple weeks ago? You had the 19th best attendance in the league at 28,978 and were 24th in percent capacity at a pathetic 57.4%. You couldn't even sell out the one-game playoff against the Padres (95.9% capacity)! I'm not from Colorado, but I'd speculate if you had to rank your teams, it'd go: Broncos, CU football, Avs, Nuggets, then finally (maybe) Rockies. You guys really don't deserve to win a championship; the Cubs did (97.7% capacity, last championship 1908); the Phillies did (88.2% capacity, last championship 1980); even the "Mistake by Lake" with a sad 65.6% capacity has gone through enough pain since their last championship in 1948 to deserve a championship. I'm sure that the day after this whole baseball playoffs fad in Colorado is over, the local talk show hosts aren't going to be talking about the World Series, but instead why a high-expectations Broncos team in underachieving.
