I think the Rockies actually might sweep. I never thought I'd see them go to the World Series in my lifetime.

Time to put a fork in the D-backs...They are done!

Rock-tober is here!!!

I was highly annoyed that the Red Sox decided to have Eric Gagne pitch the 11th inning Saturday night!

The guy has been terrible ever since he came over in a trade from the Rangers earlier this season. I hope Francona has the good sense not to let him anywhere near a pitching mound the rest of the postseason. Cleveland is too good a team to be handing wins to. On the othe side of the ledger, I'm very happy for the Rockies and what theyre doing. It makes for a great baseball story.

Well, I'm a little nervous now with the Red Sox down 2 games to 1. We need this game tomorrow night or else were in big trouble.

I'm sorry, how are you a Red Sox fan again? (the Ledge lost several days of posts- you may have responded) From reading your posts and viewing your signature and whatnot, I had the understanding that you are a Twins fan and/or season-ticket holder.

I don't mean to be snarky- I was just curious. There's no shame in being a Twins fan (especially after Pohlad kicks the bucket- hopefully before next October, so the Twins can/will pay the money to resign Santana)

All that said, I'm convinced that the Rockies are going to bulldoze their way to the championship. I just pray, for their sake, that the Mitchell report (due out after the World Series) doesn't implicate any Rockies players beyond Helton (who juiced- sorry)

I'll be happy to share that with you again. My dad took me to my first game back in August of 1978 at Metropolitan Stadium against the Red Sox and Carl Yazstremski hit 2 home runs that day. Then 5 years later in his last year I had a chance to meet him, and got my picture taken with him, he signed my baseball and left tickets behind the Red Sox dugout. The answer is I love both teams (Red Sox/Twins) equally. Hope that clears things up a bit for you.

I wanted a separate post to give the Rockies and their fans props!

You will love the whole World Series atmosphere. I've been thru it with the Twins in 1987 and 1991, and The Red Sox in 2004 winning it all. I hope some of you get a chance to attend a game. There is nothing like it. I was at every home game for the Twins in the 1991 world series against the Braves, and game 7, which went 10 innings won by the Twins 1-0, still stands as the best world series game ever played in my opinion. Oh just on a Twins note, they've started construction on the new stadium to open in 2010, and it will be alot of fun over the next 2 years driving by watching the progress.

Beautiful moment in baseball...just beautiful:

I was on the edge of my seat last night - it really could have gone either way at one point - it was so stressful - but they did it!!! They're on an amazing run - I hope they take that with them to the World Series

Screw the Mitchell report.

Keep the Congress out of baseball. And who the hell cares WHO juices, anyway. It's just a way to keep all the damned sports tabloids in business and Senators to have something to do since they obviously aren't "checking & balancing" the Executive branch these days.

I say legalize everything to level the playing field, not ban it. The only person it's hurting is the athlete himself, so if he/she wants to shorten his/her lifespan, it's up to him/her alone.

Even Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe Namath, Paul Hornung, etc, were "juiced" in their own chemically dependent ways...so f'ing what??

SOME "performance enhancing" chemical has been in sports since the beginning of time. Get over it.

Rockies who!!!
The Indians have all the talent to beat any team. The Yankees found out the hard way,and so will Colorado. The Rockies streak will end in Cleveland.
