October 7, 200718 yr I've already seen some chatter about this around here, so I figured I'd start the thread now that the matchup is official. Although not many people outside of die hards like us around here will be watching, this should IMO be a GREAT GREAT series. I believe it starts on Wednesday, maybe Thursday, but at any rate both teams will have time to set their rotations and thus it's even in that regard. I'll take the D'Backs in 7, but this series could really go either way. I feel obliged to root for Arizona with what they did to the Cubs.
October 8, 200718 yr Our Rotation against Colorado this season: Webb 1-3 5.77 ERA Davis 1-1 3.18 ERA Hernandez 1-0 1.54 ERA Owings 1st Career Start Webb has been battered and beaten at Coors this year but has fared much better at Chase. His nemesis is Brad Hawpe whom has hit 3 homers off Webb this season (Webb surrendered 12 all season). Davis has been decent and Livan has owned Colorado this season for some unknown reason. My only guess is the aggressiveness of the Rocky hitters.
October 8, 200718 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) 2 teams that play the game the right way. What a horrible match up for TV. If the people in charge would stop hyping this east coast stuff and talk about the Rocks it would make some people notice. I have to say the Rocks are the most exciting team left in playoffs, sadly almost no casual fan knows it.
October 8, 200718 yr The series to see who stands zero chance in the World Series against one of the Red Sox/Indians/Yankees.
October 8, 200718 yr QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 01:04 PM) The series to see who stands zero chance in the World Series against one of the Red Sox/Indians/Yankees. I actually don't buy that. I think the Rockies offense is good enough to keep up, and anybody's pitching staff at any time can pitch well enough to contain the other offense. If Arizona makes it, I have to believe the AL will win it, but I saw enough crazy s*** last year to not write anybody off, especially someone with a top 2 pitcher in the NL. I think Owings is a sleeper, as no one has seen what he may do in the postseason both with his arm and his bat; I do not like Davis or Livan in the least though, even with their NLDS performances.

October 8, 200718 yr QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 01:25 PM) Rox are good enough to take down the BoSox if they get them IMO. BoSox have better pitching than every team left in the playoffs.
October 8, 200718 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) BoSox have better pitching than every team left in the playoffs. And Verlander, Bonderman, Pine Tar, and Robertson >> Carpenter, Weaver, Reyes, and Suppan also. No matter who is better, it's still a 7 game series. That said...it's not like the Bosox are playing bad ball now. I think that the ball Manny hit off of K-Rod just flew past my building.
October 8, 200718 yr BoSox are definitely the favorites right now. They absolutely rolled through the ALDS - as did the Rox and DBacks in the NL - but the Sawks have the talent to maintain such a streak. Hope they lose and one of Cleveland and Colorado wins it, but I think they have to be. I still have Cleveland winning it though.
October 8, 200718 yr I'll take the D-Backs, as Webb will take over this series. It will be interesting to see if they have Webb pitch games 1 and 5 or 1-4-7 with one start being on short rest.
October 12, 200718 yr HEY O baseball game going on I love Clint Hurdle, but why change your lineup? F Willy Taveras
October 12, 200718 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 09:55 PM) What in the f*** is going on? Fans throwing s***.
October 12, 200718 yr There are some douches in every crowd who don't understand the rules. What can you do. The game got interesting until Drew choked on a fat one. Go Rocks.
October 12, 200718 yr Just came back from Chase and that was a terrible scene and I would say a 1000 or stupid drunks gave a bad name to all Arizona fan. Not sure why they decided to act like Yankee fans. I have a bruise on my arm from some kind of bottle that was full that came from the upper deck. I do think Colorado will win the whole thing.
