Oil Can Boyd Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 As much as I like Lowell, I thought Papelbon deserved to be MVP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well, congratulations you guys. That pretty much sucked, but not as much as if we hadn't made the playoffs at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I think those eight days really hurt the CRs a lot. Congrats on NLCS - who the heck saw that coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well, congratulations you guys. That pretty much sucked, but not as much as if we hadn't made the playoffs at all. I'm sorry that you guys didn't get a few wins. From all accounts, Rockies fans are a class act and i'd love to come see your stadium and watch the Rockies beat the crap out of some NL team. PS i really like the pinestriped unis from yesterday. They don't have that "we're a mid 90's expansion team" written all over them with the crazy fonts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Jeez, what a beautiful, compelling, sad picture. It really tells the story. I feel really bad for Helton, he seemed like the most passionate guy out there on that team night in and night out. One of the most enduring images of this season for me will be him jumping, superman style into his waiting teammates after hitting a walkoff.That really is a heartbreaking picture. Good luck to the Rockies next year - they have a lot of young talent, and I'd love to see them get another shot at the WS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CommerceComet Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I think those eight days really hurt the CRs a lot. I think this was overplayed a bit. The Rockies had an incredible (and improbable) run, but they were overmatched in the WS. Any of the AL playoff teams would have beaten the Rockies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, there goes that. Now I've shown myself to be another callous, bloated, saurian Red Sox fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I was trying to be nice. Fair enough. As a Yankee fan I can't say congratulations, but I am glad there are some happy Wilco fans I guess. Yanks will be back as soon as they shed No. 13 and start playing with more heart. EDIT: Looks like Girardi has been offered the manager's job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, once they get rid of the best player in the game, everything will turn up roses for them. And the problem most certainly is "heart", and not pitching. It's never pitching.

They have the talent to get into the playoffs every year, but Yankee teams with lesser talent won titles in the 90s because they had better chemistry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 That's why? Are you sure? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 They have the talent to get into the playoffs every year, but Yankee teams with lesser talent won titles in the 90s because they had better chemistry. The Yankees had higher ERA+'s than this year's every year they made the world series in the late 90's, early 00's. So, yeah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
