[OrangeShadow]

Yea she pretty much nailed it.


that one is to easy :wiggle:

[spdirty]

here we go!

[Sassy]

GO ROCKIES !!!

[Sassy]

Come on TULO!

[Sassy]

Well, that sucked.
GO HOLLIDAY!

[spdirty]

[OrangeShadow]

Nice Play Dice-k!!!

[Sassy]

That sucked even worse!
Let's Go Rockies!!!
GO HELTON!

[Schooner]

Nice arm Tulo!

[spdirty]

Tulo!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sassy]

That was a sweet play for the out by Tulo!

[OrangeShadow]

kids got a howitzer thats for sure

[OrangeShadow]

nice hit julio

[spdirty]

way to take 1 for the team Atkins!

[spdirty]

Jesus Christ Hawpe!

[Sassy]

Ugh!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

The Rox obviously brought their bats tonight, leadoff hitters on in both innings and they can't even advance them a single base.

Hawpe continues to completely embarass himself so far in the World Series.

[OrangeShadow]

god that kids got wheels!!

woohoo go pedroia!!


AND PAPI!! :notworthy

[OrangeShadow]

BS, manny touched the plate.

[spdirty]

hot dog screwed up

[OrangeShadow]

haha dice k's first career hit drives in 2 :D

[Rohirrim]

This Rockies team has no resemblance to the team that we watched play a couple of weeks ago. It's like a bunch of imposters.

[Sassy]

Nasty...you're right Ro!

[That One Guy]

It's no secret, taking long breaks breaks the rythm... rythem... rythym... whatever, you get the point.

[Rohirrim]

I've got that same feeling in the pit of my gut that I had watching the first half of the Broncos/Niners SB.

[Dagmar]

Never fun to watch a raping.

[lex]

Use what excuses you want. Schilling knows how to pitch, and he knows how to do it in big enviroment, due to his past accomplishment. Neither Webb, or Peavy had been through that pressure before.

Beckett shut down anyone right now.

PS - I think we keep posting to the thread to keep mojo moving in the right direction,


Well so much for your theory. I think its safe to say theyre rusty at this point.

[OrangeShadow]

Never fun to watch a raping.

I like close games,blowouts are boring.

you guys can believe me if you want but id rather see a pitchers duel than a blowout. but uh......... !Booya! !Booya! !Booya!

[broncos love]

That Broncos game on Monday Night is looking good in Denver.

[broncofan2438]

The game in Denver is going to be good

[MrPeepers]

this thread sucks.

[Sassy]

The Rockies are no longer taking over "Bronco Country" ;D

[OrangeShadow]

even JD is getting into the act

[Northman]

Baseball sucks period.

[gadlaw]

This is like watching the 1977 Super Bowl Three times in a row. I think Angelina Jolie's lips are the Oxygen channel and Black Hole is on TMC. Hurray beer.

[RhymesayersDU]

Well, it's been good. I need to order my NL Champs shirt now.


I really hope the Rockies win tomorrow for pride, but this series is over and I can officially watch the Broncos on MNF.

[Rohirrim]

Was that a Rockie crossing the plate? Or Sasquatch?

[Northman]

Was that a Rockie crossing the plate? Or Sasquatch?

Espn presents.... Messing with Sasquatch at Home Plate.

[spdirty]

everything going their way.

[24champ]

Well so much for your theory. I think its safe to say theyre rusty at this point.

Whatever makes you feel better about the Rockies losing.

[Rohirrim]

Herges just pitched a great inning.

[spdirty]

about f@cking time!!! Hit this son of a bitch out Matt!!!

[spdirty]

oh its this damn Okajima...shlt.

[spdirty]

wow

[Sassy]

Ok...so maybe the Broncos haven't quite got their sweetheart status back!
GO ROCKIES!!!

[eddie mac]

Holland brings the Rocks back in. 6-5 come on guys.

[RhymesayersDU]

Holy **** this is a game again!

[Rohirrim]

Finally! The Bats Wake Up!

[Sassy]

GO HELTON!!
Let's get a base!
We'll take an HR ;D

[Sassy]

Sweet!

[Sassy]

crap

[Sassy]

dang

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Damn

[eddie mac]

Slipping away in the 8th. 7-5, RS 2nd and 3rd

[eddie mac]

Game over. 9-5

[spdirty]

goddamnit I hate you Fuentes

[Sassy]

Do it again Matt!

[Rohirrim]

Last gasp.

[TailgateNut]

Do it again Matt!



That would help a tad!^5

[Sassy]

That wasn't it :(

[TailgateNut]

That wasn't it :(


Hilarious!

are you sure?;D

[Sassy]

yep! LOL!
The Broncos have regained their "country"...unless the Rockies can pull 4 straight ;D

[Rohirrim]

Guess sometimes you just have to face the facts. Boston has the better team.

[Breck Bronc]

Disappointing to say the least. Fogg lost the game when he gave up a two-run single to Matsuzaka with two out. It should have been 3-0 instead of 6-0.

Fuentes sealed the deal with his performance in the 8th.

What a nightmare. The Red Sox are going to win the World Series in Denver either Sunday or Monday. For me it's like the Raiders winning the Super Bowl in Denver (which obviously can't happen) or the Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup in Denver (which obviously can't happen).

[OrangeShadow]

that was fun :D

[go_broncos]

that was fun :D

Congrats..

You know what this is like? Having to play 4 Super Bowls against San Fransisco in 1990 and getting beat each time.

It's bad enough to go and get clobbered in a Championship once. It's another level of embarrassment and humiliation to have it done three times (and in all likelihood four times) in a row.

The World Series is torture for the loser. At least in the Super Bowl you either win or lose in one night. Ugh.

[elsid13]

that was fun :D

Freaking long, but well worth late hour involved.

I guess Tito can manage in NL park ( I would have left Dice K in) . I believe that 4 double switches.

[lazarus4444]

This has been excruciatingly painful. The Rockies i've always known and not really loved are back. I was wondering who those imposters were that won 21 of 22.

[phillybroncosnut]

I am just guessing that was a poke at Rox fans. If any Rockie fans were saying Tito couldn'nt coach in a national league game, it just proves how much that fan doesn't follow the game and is truely a Bandwagon jumper. Tito came up managing in the NL. He knows how to manage the game.

[phillybroncosnut]

Give your guys a break Laz. No NL team would have made this years world series a competitive one, no matter who the AL team was. Face facts, the AL is FAR surperior to the NL. It's not even close. It's pretty much on par with how the AFC is so much beeter then the NFC in football.
The Rox have nothing to be ashamed of. Even if they lose the 4th game 20-0, they turned alot of heads this season. If the Rockies front office does the right thing, they should be a foce for years to come.

[Dedhed]

Well so much for your theory. I think its safe to say theyre rusty at this point.

I think it's safe to say they're playing like a team that barely made the playoffs, against the best team in baseball. You can play the rust card all you want, but it won't change the fact that the Red Sox are the better club.

I take my hat off to the Rox for the run that they made, but the true colors of both teams has been evident in the Series.

[phillybroncosnut]

Rust? Wow, they are diggin deep in Rockie world. The Red Sox are better in almost, if not all, aspects of the game. Better starting pitching (not even close), better bull pen, better lineup offensively, better coaching, better base running, etc. I don't really know how many ways you can say it but, the Sox are a much better team then the Rox.

[defenseman]

Freaking long, but well worth late hour involved.

I guess Tito can manage in NL park ( I would have left Dice K in) . I believe that 4 double switches.

Yep, me too. He was a bit off for 2 batters or so, however, mentally he appeared pretty tough. I would have left him in...dman

[elsid13]

Well so much for your theory. I think its safe to say theyre rusty at this point.

I didn't see either Schilling or Beckett out on the mound last night, and don't think that change my statement. You can attempt to change the facts if you want but those two (Beckett and Schilling) are what stopped the Rockies bats the first two games. And Dice-K pretty much did same last night. Okie let up the home run, but came right back and strike out the side, and Paps was dominate once again. Face it the Sox are better team right now.

[Breck Bronc]

I am just guessing that was a poke at Rox fans. If any Rockie fans were saying Tito couldn'nt coach in a national league game, it just proves how much that fan doesn't follow the game and is truely a Bandwagon jumper. Tito came up managing in the NL. He knows how to manage the game.Because every baseball fan worth his salt should remember Tito's days managing those great Phillies teams of the late-'90's.

[phillybroncosnut]

Doesn't matter what the team he managed for in the NL did or didn't do. However, IF you follow baseball and aren't some fly by night bandwagon jumper, you would know he managed in the NL.

[Breck Bronc]

Doesn't matter what the team he managed for in the NL did or didn't do. However, IF you follow baseball and aren't some fly by night bandwagon jumper, you would know he managed in the NL.Good thing no Rockie fan said the Rockies had a managerial advantage because Francona couldn't manage NL-style ball.

There were, however, several mentions of an advantage in our NL ballpark due to better fielding and no DH, both of which turned out false. Cory Sullivan and Brad Hawpe cost the team runs by not being able to make diving catches in the outfield and Josh Fogg misplayed Pedroia's bunt in the fateful 3rd inning. Fogg also gave up the dagger-in-the-heart 2-rbi single to Dice-K Matsuzaka, who'd never had an MLB hit before.

Also, there is no bigger bandwagon in baseball than Boston's since 2004. The Rockies have a big bandwagon right now, no doubt, but it doesn’t compare to the Red Sox colossus.

[phillybroncosnut]

Breck, come on bro. NOTHING could be further from the truth. Boston is an incredible baseball town. The only other club that even compares with them is Chicago (Cubs). How could you say something so untrue. If your upset about your Rox, that's understandable. But to blurt out something so wrong, is just laughable.
Red Sox fans have been through it all and have continually sold our Fenway. It's a ritual out there. I'm not a Red Sox fan but I have a bunch of relatives that live out there. They are as fanatical as Bronco fans are in Football.

The only team that Bostonian's have totally jumped on the bandwagon for is the Pats. The Pats were the #4 team in Boston forever. It was Celtics/Red Sox #1, Briuns #2 and a distant last were the Pats.
They are very pationate about Baseball in Boston. Football, not so much. Well, until recently. If you want to call them Bandwagon fans in Football, I agree. Baseball? Nothing could be further from the truth.

[PatsWin2002]

Very true, Philly.....very true.

This is baseball Mecca.

[Rohirrim]

The truth is, for the Rockies to take the next step the Monforts have to go. They've taken the concept of the "cheap payroll" to its extreme, but that's as far as they'll go, IMHO. You need much deeper pockets to really compete.

You can "compete" with cheap ownership. The Indians, Twins, and A's all do fine each year. In order to Win the entire thing, it's safe to say, you need an ownership that will spend the money needed to give you that chance the win.

I disagree slightly, even when the Celtics were winning, Boston/Mass and the rest of region have always put the Red Sox before everything else.

[OrangeShadow]

els is right, this place is Red Sox nation first and foremost.

[phillybroncosnut]

I disagree slightly, even when the Celtics were winning, Boston/Mass and the rest of region have always put the Red Sox before everything else.

It depends on who you talk to. I never knew who the dominate team was (C's or Sox). That said, BOTH are tremendously loved in Boston. C's vs Sox is debatable. What isn't debatable is how much Bostonians love both.

[phillybroncosnut]

Perhaps I am still reliving the 80's. I remember growing up and going to Boston 5 times a year in the 80's and everywhere you looked was Celtics and Red Sox. I couldn't tell which one was #1.

[PatsWin2002]

Just like now you might not be able to tell if it's Sox or Pats.

It's always been the Red Sox. The Bruins were #2 during the Orr years - even though the Celtics were winning more. Debatable, but not an uncommon thought among the older crowd.

Hey ya Focker!!!!! Are you calling me "older"? I'm only 32 (well, i turn 33 tomorrow). I knew the "B"s were big in Boston as that's what my Pop always told me.
I can't really debate who the biggest team was but I know the Sox are huge and that's all I was trying to get across to Breck when he called Bostonian's bandwagon fans.

[Dedhed]

Boston always has, and always will be the best baseball city in the country. Pats fans mostly are bandwogoneers. The Celtics were right there in their heyday, but the Sox fans have always been there. Even through a near century of torment, the Sox were always the team in Boston. They'll rival any fan base in sports. Of course you have a glob of band wagoneers since 2004, like any Chmapionship team has, but to write off the bulk of Sox fans is laughable.

[Bronco LB 59]

Boston always has, and always will be the best baseball city in the country.

They are close to the top, but that distinction belongs to St. Louis.

[OrangeShadow]

They are close to the top, but that distinction belongs to St. Louis.

I think its a toss up between the two.

[Drek]

They are close to the top, but that distinction belongs to St. Louis.

I grew up in New England, having lived in Maine, New Hampshire, and Mass for various stints. I now live about an hour outside St. Louis.

It isn't even a contest. Boston wins hands down running away. Cardinals fans love their team sure, but the level of devotion and overall baseball fanaticism isn't even close. They are for the most part a very sportsmanlike group so they don't boo a player having a momentous game against their team, but being a good sport and being a die hard fan are two different things.

You walk into a sports bar in New England and talk baseball with the random locals and I guarantee at least one of them will know as much about the Sox' farm system as any minor league reporter. You do the same in St. Louis and you'll get a lot of blank stares if you mention the names Colby Rasmus or Pete Kozma. There's just a different level of interest. They love their Cards in the St. Louis area but they don't love baseball and all the various facets that make up a baseball team like your long term Red Sox fans do.

[PatsWin2002]

Thanks, Drek.

It has more meaning if you say it than if I say it. :)

Okie let up the home run, but came right back and strike out the side, and Paps was dominate once again. Face it the Sox are better team right now.

Its taken 2 1/2 games for the Rockies to finally get back to recognizing pitches but theyre still not all the way there. The game vs Schilling made it obvious the layoff is hurting Colorado considerably. The Rockies arent only now recognizing pitches well enough to fight off a good pitch sometimes and extend an at bat. But they were still swinging at bad pitches and letting not hitting hittable pitches because it has taken them a while to start recognizing pitches again. Its obvious their timing/pitch recognition has been thrown off considerably. 1 hit through 4 innings against Dice K says it all in spite of how much you are in love with Curt Schilling and what he did in 1993, 2001, and 2004.

Honestly, you can call them excuses, or whatever you want, but the fact is, only a moron would say that the layoff had NO effect on the Rockies play. You're just a bitter Dodgers fan...

Im a Cubs fan idiot. How would it make me feel better? Ive been to more games at Fenway than Coors Field.

well said.

[elsid13]

Well just over an hour before the possible the final game. Bump it for Red Sox Nation.

[BroncoBuff]

I know it's major second-guessing, but for a Rockies staff that's been hammered almost every inning this series, why pull Herges after he strikes out the side and Holiday blasts them to within one run? I realize they had to hit for him, and that their 8th and 9th inning closers are set, but I wouldda stayed with Herges - after the first dominant inning pitched for them in the Series - despite all that. Why tempt fate?

(And yes - I DID say it at the time...)

[Dagmar]

These guys sound beaten I'm afraid. The players could use a little of the fans enthusiasm.

[Drek]

Would familiarity of minor league players have anything to do with the fact that the Red Sox have had a minor league team in Pawtucket for a long time?

It would if the majority of Sox fans weren't equally well educated on every minor league prospect of note, which includes a high A affiliate based out of Lancaster California.

The current Sox have made some smart moves by consolidating their NE minor league presence, it helps cultivate "Red Sox Nation" but its not why. The minor league outfits used to be a lot more scattered and fans were still very knowledgeable.

Also, knowledge of the minor leagues is the symptom, not the reason. Its just a higher ratio of die hard baseball fans who happen to love the Sox as opposed to Cardinals or some other team's fans who enjoy baseball.

[elsid13]

Freaking 2030 in the East and still no baseball. Why oh Why can they not start the games in reasonable time???

I was thinking the same thing last night. He was making it look real easy for an inning.

Wrap it up tonight Sox!!

[24champ]

Helton with a double. Rockies need to get things going to have a shot in this one.

[broncos love]

Come on Rockies.

[broncos love]

Jon Lester can't handle these Rocks.

[spdirty]

Theres Manny being Manny

[phillybroncosnut]

If/when the series ends tonight..... Who is your MVP? It's gotta be Ellsbury right?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Gotta love the Rox inability to get productive outs all Series.

[phillybroncosnut]

Theres Manny being Manny


Gawd.... There are 2 players that I absolutely dispise in the Sox. JD Drew and Manny. Manny is all that is wrong in a baseball player. Manny is all about Manny. From the statue like pose (standing at homeplate in game 4 of the ALCS with his hands in the air for 10 seconds) while his team is getting killed, to the check me out as I flip my helmet off while running the bases. I can't stand his act!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

They're not going to throw you a strike Matt, for the love of God lay off some pitches.

[Bronx33]

rockies swing at every pitch? or what?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

and Holiday strikes out on a pitch out of the strike zone, big ****ing surprise.

Everytime they flash the RBI totals for the heart of the lineup, I'm still amazed they scored so many runs this season with so many undisciplined hitters in their lineup.

[elsid13]

Jon Lester can't handle these Rocks.

Looks like he did pretty good that inning.

[Dagmar]

Just win one Rox, give the people of Denver that much!

[phillybroncosnut]

[phillybroncosnut]

:oyvey: :oyvey:

You can't possibly disagree that Manny is a total "check me out, I'm bigger then the game" player, can you?

[phillybroncosnut]

It would be pretty awesome to see Lester pitch a complete game after what he went through just 1 year ago. Pretty inspiring!

[elsid13]

You can't possibly disagree that Manny is a total "check me out, I'm bigger then the game" player, can you?

Actually I do. Manny is weird and lose focus easily, but I don't think he media hog or I am bigger then game type. He is well liked in the locker room and very very hard worker. If he was I"m bigger then the game" type he would be lot more open to the media.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Great throw by Hawpe, but an even better slide by Lowell

[Dagmar]

Oh crap.

[Dagmar]

This thread is a lot quieter than usual, have the rox fans bailed?

Bah.... So he's not outspoken. Besides, he knows more prople will "see" his act then "hear" his act. How else do you explain the 10 second pose and walk/trot around the bases against the Indians in game 4 as the Sox trail 8-0 late?

[phillybroncosnut]

This thread is a lot quieter than usual, have the rox fans bailed?

They are in the hospital getting their ankles x-rayed after leaping from the bandwagon!

Well one is at the game, Domcasual. Hope he and his kid are having a blast. Wish the Rockies would put some runs up to make it a series.

Uggghh . . Tulo finally puts the bat on the ball tonight and it's right to Lowell

Because he really is insecure. Of all the players that are bad for game Manny isn't in the top ten. I have bigger problem with Gary Sheffield, Bonds, Carl Everett - all locker room cancers - then Manny standing at the plate admiring a hit.

Exactly,when down 3-1 in the ALCS manny made the "its not the end of the world" comment and it seemed, whether it was intentional or not, to take the pressure off the people who were struggling. Manny doesnt get half the credit he deserves for the work he puts in. And you know what, if he doesnt care i wouldnt have it any other way. Because its Manny being Manny and i LOVE it.

[Dagmar]

What about all the "trade me" chatter? Stick Ellsbury in left and it's the same result. In fact, it's already proven.

Let's see, I could definately fit Manny into the top ten of jitbag players. I expect you to defend your player so i expect you will disagree. The rest of the leagues fanbases? I think Manny would be in their top 10 as well.

Did you ever find your phone? Give me a call when you have a chance.

[24champ]

I know 4 or 5 people there. Expensive night.

Yeah Dom wouldn't specify how much he paid for his tickets.Ha!

Bwaaahahaha. I got it bro. I missed a couple of your calls and I either am busy when I want to call back or I forget. I'm a d!ck like that bro. My FF team sux nads bro.

[Broncoman13]

Anybody in the local area watch the news on channel 4 just before the game?

Some retard interviewing Terry Francona asked him if he had any advice for Clint Hurdle in winning a series after being down 3 games to none.

He had to be thinking "What the **** does this idiot expect me to say?"

His answer was damn funny though. Something along the lines of, "Uh, you do realize that I don't really want them to win... My team is playing against them!!!" At that point somebody suggested that the media person that asked the question have the mic taken away. Francona said, "yeah, good idea. No more questions from you!"

[phillybroncosnut]

Yeah Dom wouldn't specify how much he paid for his tickets.Ha!

I paid $250 per seat for the Phils game when they clinched the East. I can't imagine what a WS ticket goes for though. When the Phils went to the WS in '93 my family had season tix so it was face value back then.

[Broncoman13]

Bwaaahahaha. I got it bro. I missed a couple of your calls and I either am busy when I want to call back or I forget. I'm a d!ck like that bro. My FF team sux nads bro.

I want FWP!

No worries btw... I've always known you were a dick!!! :P

[Broncoman13]

3-0 Sox

Looks like we'll be concentrating on football tomorrow...

Sometimes I wonder if these news bozo's even watch sports with the questions they ask. Even at the high school varsity level I get some of the dumbest questions by the local newspapers after each game. I feel like saying, "dude, do you even watch sports". It's either softball questions or the dumbest things out of left field.

Tito is a down to earth guy. I'm not surprised at his answer. That answer shows exactly how relaxed he truly is.

[phillybroncosnut]

3-0 Sox

:D

oh how i wish i could afford to buy a ticket to the world series. maybe some day.

Ellsbury is good young player, but Manny is HOF hitter. Like I said before, I think he is extremely insecure type of guy that lead to a lot of Manny being Manny moment with his career. I have strange feeling that you would love him on your team if you had a chance.

Beside Ellsbury best position is CF make Coco like the odd man out.

[OrangeShadow]

hmm the best right handed hitter in the history of basball? meh i think ill pass ROFL!

[Dedhed]

Honestly, you can call them excuses, or whatever you want, but the fact is, only a moron would say that the layoff had NO effect on the Rockies play. You're just a bitter Dodgers fan...

And only the same would say that the Sox haven't shown that they're hands down the better team.

[24champ]

Finally the Rockies show some life. 3-1

[Dagmar]

Nice.

[Sassy]

HR HAWPE~
At least it won't be a shutout!

[24champ]

Matsui steps up to the plate as the tying run. Francona is going to yank his pitcher.

[Sassy]

Go Rockies!!!

Go Matsui!

[spdirty]

No Okajima yet. Come on Kaz!

[spdirty]

man Tulo hasnt done shlt this whole series...come on! Get on base!!

[Sassy]

No...Tulo hasn't has he :(
COME ON TULO! GET ON BASE!

[Sassy]

Better yet...hit a Homerun!

[OrangeShadow]

WOO nicely done mike!

[Sassy]

Crap....blew that.

[elsid13]

Timlin way to stop the rally. 6 outs to go

[OrangeShadow]

Whatta Mighty Ole Shot By The Irishman!

[Broncosfreak_56]

Fuentes is such a ****ing loser.

[spdirty]

Way to kill any hope we ever had Fuentes and Hurdle.

[Dagmar]

****

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Fuentes is going to help the Sox blow this game wide open

Dude, I never said he wasn't a phenominal hitter. He is on of the best hitters I've ever seen. that said, I can't stomach his act. I am a Baseball purest. I hate any player that intentionally shows up the pitcher by STANDING at the plate, arms extended for more then 1 second. I also can't stand a guy who flips his helmet cause he thinks it makes him look "cool(?)". I always try and stress to my players that the game is seperated by milliseconds and the least amount of time it takes you to..... Get to the next base, field the ball and get rid of it, get the ball at second and throw as you are catching it to turn a DP or a catcher getting up on his toes, leaning forward with a runner trying to steal..... the better chance you have at being a half second earlier to the base or with the throw.
Manny adjusting his body to flick off his helmet takes at least .5 seconds. Thats the difference between out and safe on 35% of plays made. I know for a fact that Manny would have been safe last night at the plate if not for the "I gotta be cool and flick my helmet off".
So, altering your game for something that YOU want to do (for whatever reason) makes you look like you are putting yourself in front of the team. That's just one of the problems I have with Manny.

[Sassy]

It sucks that they are going to win this thing in Denver.

Oh well, back to BRONCOS COUNTRY! ;D
(Our regular scheduled program...)

It's been quite a ride though folks.

Bonds is considered the best player ever by some people, you taking him? Just because someone is a great player, doesn't mean you either like him or want him.

[phillybroncosnut]

It sucks that they are going to win this thing in Denver.

If I were a Sox fan, I'd be thinking the same thing.

[spdirty]

these guys deserve somewhat of a parade for what they accomplished. And the fans will show that we arent bandwagoners nect year.

[Sassy]

Nice double!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Nice double play

[24champ]

these guys deserve somewhat of a parade for what they accomplished. And the fans will show that we arent bandwagoners nect year.

More importantly I want to know who returns next year. I get a feeling that a lot of players are on their way out with the Rockies. I dont think the Monforts are going to raise the team salary next year much.

[phillybroncosnut]

NO NO NO.... You don't get a parade if you lose. That's silly talk.

[spdirty]

everyone is under contract for next year except Kaz, Hawkins, and Jorge Julio. Hopefully payroll goes up and they can lock some of the young guns up long term though.

[spdirty]

NO NO NO.... You don't get a parade if you lose. That's silly talk.

The '77 Broncos did.

[Dedhed]

If I were a Sox fan, I'd be thinking the same thing.

I was hoping the Rox would win a couple so the Sox could win it at home.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Last time we'll see Holliday, Helton, and Atkins at the plate this year.

[Dagmar]

Boooooooooooooooom!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Atkins!!!

[OrangeShadow]

thats it,its pap smear time.

[Sassy]

Not Over Yet!

[Breck Bronc]

Atkins hits a HR.

Damn you, Fuentes!

[Broncosfreak_56]

Damn, I was expecting another strikeout. Im almost dissapointed. Not really.

We can still make this series respectable!!!

[ohiobronco2]

Thank You Byung-Hyun Okajima.

[Dagmar]

NO NO NO.... You don't get a parade if you lose. That's silly talk.

Negative nancy.

[Sassy]

They said they were 2nd in the league in comebacks!
GO GUYS!!!

[Sassy]

All it takes is a HR baby!
GO ROCKIES! Tie it up!

[OrangeShadow]

rox are making it interesting thats for sure.

[24champ]

rox are making it interesting thats for sure.

Rockies will get a Pap Smear now.:giggle:

[elsid13]

3 outs to go. With Paps in the game to close to close it out

[Sassy]

Nice job Matt!

[spdirty]

be a tie game right now if not for Fuentes. Now Corpas gonna shut em down.

[lex]

The '77 Broncos did.

The Broncos are more important than the Rockies.

[Sassy]

There ya go!

[spdirty]

The Broncos are more important than the Rockies.

True.

[Sassy]

Sweet!
TWO RUNS...that's all ya need.

[Garcia Bronco]

Rubber meets the road

[OrangeShadow]

alrighty jonathan go get em!

[Dagmar]

Here goes..

[Breck Bronc]

It's over. Torrealba, Carroll and a pinch hitter. No way these guys can touch Papelbon.

[broncofan2438]

So does the Bronco game look likes it is going to be full now?

[24champ]

The Broncos are more important than the Rockies.

Hey we agree on something.:spit:

[Sassy]

Nice shot though. At the wall.

[Dagmar]

oh! So close...

[OrangeShadow]

god that was close

[Dagmar]

I'll say again, what a ride for the Rockies.

[Sassy]

They've been a blast to watch that's for sure!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Great season Rox!!

Congrats Sox

[Dagmar]

Congratulations to the Sox.

[spdirty]

f@ck

[Garcia Bronco]

GoodJob Rockies

[Requiem]

Lol yes. I'm awesome. SUCKAS.

[OrangeShadow]

Wooooooooohooooooooooo!!!

[24champ]

Well the Rockies had helluva year. Hold your heads up high.

[go_broncos]

Congrats RedSox......

[OrangeShadow]

grats to the rox you guys made that one interesting

[Broncosfreak_56]

****ing Red Sox. Dont deserve this ****. All those arrgant assholes on their team and the lack of a god-damn salary cap making teams so ****ing lop-sided. Pisses me off.

[Rohirrim]

I thought maybe if I didn't post on this thread the luck would change. No such luck. Sox are the better team. Congrats to them. Congrats to the Rockies for their best year ever and the National League Pennant.

[Sassy]

Now we'll have to listen to Patswin all year especially if the Pats win the SB too! LOL!

[Dagmar]

****ing Red Sox. Dont deserve this ****. All those arrgant a-holes on their team and the lack of a god-damn salary cap making teams so ****ing lop-sided. Pisses me off.

Aren't you a good loser.

[BlaK-Argentina]

Hey guys, just wanted to say congrats to your Rockies on a great season. Even though I'm not a baseball fan I watched the World Series and enjoyed it a lot. It sucks to see it end like this for your guys but they still have a lot to be proud of.

Congrats to the Red Sox!!! And to the Rox too, of course!

[Broncosfreak_56]

Aren't you a good loser.

Its the truth. Just imagine if there was no salary cap in football or Basketball. 6 teams with all the players and the rest having to use home-grown players. The lack of salary cap ruins baseball, and this series just shows that.

[Pezman]

Congrats to the Red Sox! PatsWin, you are in the salad days out there bro!

[24champ]

****ing Red Sox. Dont deserve this ****. All those arrgant a-holes on their team and the lack of a god-damn salary cap making teams so ****ing lop-sided. Pisses me off.

Ha! tell us how you really feel.

[chickennob2]

Let me put it this way:
27 to 7.

Take your pick. Personally, I'll go with the 27.

[elsid13]

World Champs !!!!!! Go Sox!

[ro_50]

Was the World Series on? I didnt tune in till tonight.

Sorry, still disgruntled at the meltdown my Tribe has. The Tribe did lose to the better team and congrats to the Rockies for an amazing run.

Congrats to the BoSox for winning the title.

[Rohirrim]

Now we'll have to listen to Patswin all year especially if the Pats win the SB too! LOL!

New England sure seems to be in a sports groove these days. Maybe it's something in the water. I remember when we had one of those grooves around here, a Stanley Cup, a couple of Lombardis. Good times. Pats should enjoy it while it lasts.

[go_broncos]

:strong: Now we'll have to listen to Patswin all year especially if the Pats win the SB too! LOL!

Pats will not win SB this year...

[Jens1893]

World Series Champs !!!!!! Go Sox!

Fixed it. You can´t win a World Championship when the trophy is only contested by American and Canadian teams.

[Rohirrim]

:strong:

Pats will not win SB this year...

Who's gonna stop 'em?

[ohiobronco2]

Congratulations Red Sox fans. I knew you guys could hit and had a couple of solid pitchers, but I was really surprised at how great your bullpen was in clutch situations. Rockies fans, what do we have to complain about? Did anyone expect us to make it this far? Look at how young our team is this year, hopefully next year we get over the hump. We better win next year because the following year Holliday will be a free agent and the Red Sox or the Yankees are guaranteed to try and pick him up. That's not a bidding war we can win. Our bullpen pitched like crap and we didn't get the clutch hits with 2 outs that we had got in the other 2 series.

[go_broncos]

Who's gonna stop 'em?

DENVER.....:thumbsup:

[Broncosfreak_56]

Ha! tell us how you really feel.

Red sox were a better team, Because they bought their way to being like that. The Rockies did it the right way. No salary cap ruins baseball. Only a few teams being competitive and "Cinderalla" teams popping up every year.

And it doesnt help that lots of sox players are arrogant assholes.

[ohiobronco2]

I don't know, does Kimo von Oelhoffen play in the AFC East?

yeah we bought ellsbury,pedroia,papelbon,delcarmen,youk,lester. all of whom played HUGE parts in winning the title. It was a complete team effort.

This sport will become nonexistant after 50 years if this continues.

I understand what you are saying, but I don't think you can blame Red Sox ownership for wanting to win. I think it is complementary for our Rockies to be as competitive as they've been this year with the payroll they have. I think baseball fans everywhere wish that their teams would have ownership as commited to winning and as passionate as those of the Red Sox and Yankees. Those teams put more money into their clubs because they seemingly care more about winning than they do $$$$. I think we have a similar owner in Pat Bowlen. Eventhough the NFL has a salary cap, how many teams spend way below that amount, where as owners like Bowlen, Jones and Snyder are spending every dollar. About the Sox players being arrogant a-holes, other than a celebration here or there, I didn't see too much disrespect on their behalf. I mean Papelbone and Manny made as*es out of themselves, but other than that I thought they behaved well.

[ro_50]

I do have a question for lifelong BoSox fans, seems like a lot of new fans have popped up for Red Sox nation, especially the last few years.

Does that irk you as lifelong fans? I think that's where most of us have a disdain for the BoSox -- not for the team and the lifelong fans -- but its the new bandwagon BoSox fan that irks me and most of us.

[OrangeShadow]

do bandwagon fans irk me? absolutley. 2004 brought out quite a few of them but i wouldnt trade the feeling of that 2004 postseason for anything in the world.

[ro_50]

Thats true. I'm a lifelong Spurs fan and I've seen quite a few pop up through the last number of years.


But I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything, cuz most of the bandwagon hoppers will be off once the good times end :>

[ohiobronco2]

do bandwagon fans irk me? absolutley. 2004 brought out quite a few of them but i wouldnt trade the feeling of that 2004 postseason for anything in the world.

I must state however, I think the Red Sox have finally broken the curse AND used up all of their magic. I mean, come on, coming back from a 3-0 to the Yankees and 3-1 to the Indians. That's Amazing.

[OrangeShadow]

no see, we get new magic with all these rookies lol not to mention thee luck of thee irish with bobby o' kielty.

whew guess i can watch a little post game, i only have to work in 4 hours
