Colorado Rockies' Kazuo Matsui, right, is sprayed with champagne by pitcher Franklin Morales after the Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of a National League Division Series playoff baseball game on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2007 at Coors Field in Denver. The Rockies sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies advanced them to the National League Championship. (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)Unbelievable. The Rockies have lost like one game in the last two and a half weeks.
Although it's interesting to see new blood in the League Championship series, you gotta assume that the brass at TBS will be looking at some seriously poor ratings as the D-backs and Rockies, expansion teams from the 90's, fight it out to decide who represents the NL in the World Series. They had to have been praying for a Phillies/Cubs match up that would draw on large established fan bases.
As for this afternoon's Red Sox/Angels game, it would be nice if the Angels won one game, but I doubt it.
As for the Yankees, I don't care if we win or lose. I dreamt that we got blown out early and lost by the same score that the Mets lost by last week -- 8-1. If we win, I'll be ecstatic of course, but we don't deserve to win. Torre is incapable of thinking outside the box in the playoffs. It's not his nature. He did it last year when he stuck Sheffield and Matsui, both coming off of hand surgeries, in the postseason lineup and killed the chemistry established by Melky. He's done it again in this series by starting ailing Matsui at DH for two games when we have a healthy Shelly Duncan and a healthy Jason Giambi on the bench. Both of those players came off the bench and got hits and Matsui hasn't sniffed one yet.
I don't want to hear anything about A-Rod. He's not the problem. He's hitless, but so are Posada and Matsui. Jeter, Cano and Melky are all hitting under .200. The only one doing anything is Bobby Abreu! He may have saved his job here.

Well, that picture is a good indicator of how often we win big games. All of the other teams had goggles to protect the eyes, but not the Rockies :)
I think they'll burn their eyes with champagne at least one more time this year...
Absolutely right miss Michelle. The Rockies basically rode in with a head of steam and even though it's Colorado and Arizona, I think this will be a good series.
As for the Yankees, you are a true fan and you know your stuff luv. I couldn't agree with you more. Except the part about not caring if they win or lose..;)
Baseball can be painful to watch sometimes, especially when you team is underachieving. You know what I'm saying. ;)
