October 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 11:43 PM) Now that's a sign that the Rockies time may have run out. No way -- not with the great stopper Josh Fogg taking the ball next...
October 26, 200718 yr Josh Fogg is going to throw 81 pitches in his start. Not surprisingly, all 81 pitches will be strikes and he will have 27 K's.

October 26, 200718 yr Has a team ever got swept by a team in the NLDS that got swept by a team in the NLCS that got swept by a team in the World Series?

October 26, 200718 yr Is it just me, or when Joe Buck was talking about the success of Boston sports didn't he say "the White Sox made the world series." I swear he said White Sox instead of Red Sox.
October 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(BearSox @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 10:37 PM) It baffles me how Ikojima does so good. He doesn't really have any stuff, it's just that he that head jerk and I guess that throws all the hitters off... Well, time for Holliday to run the party. He won't be near as good next year. Those Japanese guys are good for a couple of years than fall apart. AKA Shingo, Hideo Nomo.

I swear he said White Sox instead of Red Sox. Joe Buck is a f***ing moron. I shocked he actually differentiated by color, instead of just "The Sox."
October 27, 200718 yr Speaking of Joe Buck, did I actually hear him say that Todd Helton, over the course of his career, has been just as good on the road as he has been at home? Seriously? Does he do even the slightest bit of research? Since when is 1.128 ~ .896? He's a career .367 hitter at home which I guess is pretty close to his career .295 road AVG though rounding up 72 points does seem a bit disingenuous. What a f***ing joke.
October 27, 200718 yr Here is hoping that Fox gives him a late night talk show (as is rumored) to get him the hell out of the booth. Edited October 27, 200718 yr by Linnwood
October 28, 200718 yr This is shaping up to be the least entertaining WS I can remember. This has to be one of the biggest mismatches in WS history.
October 28, 200718 yr Can anyone find the league averages for runs per game over the past 10 years? I'm thinking scoring has been down league wide since the mid to late 90's which would make the numbers Fox keeps throwing at us about Coors moot. And if Coors isn't a f***ing power house anymore than why do we see such staggering home/road splits from guys like Helton, Holliday, Tulowitzki and Matsui? ANSWER ME JOE BUCK YOU COWARDLY FOOL!!!

This has to be the worst. The teams are not even close. Just another flawed example of the playoff system. All a team has to do is play average ball all year, then get hot at the right time. I would've rather seen the Mets or Phillies in there.

October 28, 200718 yr QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 27, 2007 -> 07:30 PM) It worked for the Cardinals last year The Tigers completely blew that one. The Cardinals had the lowest winning percentage of a World Series winner ever. The Twins in 1987 had 85 wins. They also had the lowest winning percentage of a World Series participant since the Mets in 1973 (82 wins). That is how rare that is. Edited October 28, 200718 yr by RME JICO
October 28, 200718 yr Even though I know it won't happen, I hope the ratings for this series are miserable.
