Game 3: Diamondbacks vs. Rockies - The OFFICIAL game thread!
Edited on Sun Oct-14-07 07:40 PM by jtg33
Alright folks, it's time for Game 3 of the NLCS, coming at you live from the Mile High City!

Tonight we have Livan Hernandez taking the mound for Arizona, while Josh Fogg will pitch for Colorado. Mother Nature has entered the game as well, bringing consistent drizzle and 42 degree temperatures for the game. Should be a very interesting night as the Rockies look to go up 3-0 in the series with hopes of punching their first trip to the World Series later this week.

LET'S GO ROCKIES!!! *clap clap clap-clap-clap* LET'S GO ROCKIES!!! *clap clap clap-clap-clap*

2. Yeah, it's not pretty. Been that way for the past 24 hours.
I actually had to dress warmly, turn on the heat, AND bundle up under my fleece blanket a few minutes ago. it's chilly, but this is exactly what October is supposed to be like in Colorado. The only thing out of place with this picture is the Rockies playing on October 14th!

3. Some pictures to set the mood for tonight:
Willy Taveras scoring in the 5th inning for the Rockies:



Taveras again, this time in the 11th inning as he walks to bring in the go-ahead run:



And, just for good measure, the celebration from 13 days ago after the Rockies clinched the Wild Card:

20. If this year's WS is Rockies - Red Sox...
It will be Average Joe's Gymnasium vs. Globo Gym, with Manny Ramirez as Ben Stiller's character, and Matt Holliday as Vince Vaughn's character.

5. WOW! That was pretty damn close to being a triple play!
You know, I partially agree with Byrnes about saying we haven't outplayed Arizona. We have DEFINITELY had some luck go our way, but come on. When you're down 2-0 in the NLCS, the other club has at LEAST played as well as you. Don't sell us short or you're going to be disappointed when we beat you.

16. I did see that. I was amazed at the title at the top of the webpage.
"Meet the hottest team of all time"

It's just amazing to think about it, but boy... They are really on a run of historic proportions.

19. Nice article
Not often someone uses such glowing tones to describe a team that plays in the Mountain Time Zone.

14. No. I wasn't sure he had hit the wall at first...but I guess he did. Loser.
I hate that asshat. Especially given his comments about the Rox this morning...and I'm a Dodgers fan.

"I think we're a good team," Byrnes said in what sounded like scripted remarks. "I also don't think the Rockies have outplayed us, because they haven't. Not even close. They've had a little luck go their way. Definitely the ball has bounced in their direction. They've been the beneficiary of some calls.

"So, when we look at that as a group, we look back on those first two games, we have not been outplayed. If anything, I think it's the other way around. So that gives us confidence that we can play with them."

17. Maybe if they could buy a hit with runners on, they wouldn't be in this position
But why deal in hypotheticals?

22. He said that to keep his ball club 'up'
It's one thing to pump the rah-rahs in the clubhouse. Going public with it makes you look like you really believe.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/baseball/mlb/09/11/byrnes0917/index.html

Somehow I think Byrnes does believe it...

11. WOOOHOOO!!!
That was a bit of a shot! As soon as he hit it you could feel it was gone. It wasn't very far gone, but it was good enough to give the Rockies a 1-0 lead heading into the second inning! GO ROCKIES!!!

Maybe we could send out search parties? :shrug:

21. I like AZ, but I want the Rockies to win this one.
If Arizona wins, they'll get their asses stomped by the Red Sox. If the Rockies win, they'll take it all.

I was at a Rockies game last year and there were maybe 12,000 people there tops. This is great for them.

It was the people shoveling the dirt on the field. I cant think of any other reason they would show that except for high-def fetish material.

30. At least if it goes extras tonight it won't be TOO bad...
The game actually started at 6:35 like it was supposed to, which is a little better than the 8:15 start like we got the other night and we will see again tomorrow night. I would REALLY hate for it to go to extras tomorrow night.

32. That was one heck of an effort by Fogg tonight.
Had some strikeouts, induced a bunch of double plays, and got out of a few jams. He did give up a bunch of hits and that solo homer, but he kept the Rockies in it, and now the bullpen has a chance to come in and work their magic again.
