The rockies are those hill things on the horizon just west of denver. I think the NLCS is some tv show about navy crime detectives or somethin', not totally sure.

Watched it and yelled when they scored in the 11th. Surprised I didn't wake up the wifey. Yelled again for the 3rd out in the 11th. Wifey, still sleeping.
It may be early, but with them winning 19 of their last 20, I don't see how they can possibly lose 4 of the next 5 so I'll say it.....They'll play in the World Series! And here I thought it would be the Nuggets or Broncos to win the next Championship!
and again 4-1 only one more!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

What happens if they lose the last game? Does it then keep going into more, or do they win by majority?

PS Spell check... OK!
It's either the Red Sox or the Indians. I'd prefer to see the Rockies beat the Red Sox.
...but not until they've put away the D-backs.[Kick2]

good thing i have a flexible work schedule... told my boss if they won, i would either be coming in late or taking monday off to try to get tickets.
Just wondering if anybody actually put money on them to make it this far? Last I knew it was 150-1 for them.

SWEEP THE SERIES??????
[Wow2]
If its the "World" Series, how come there isnt any foreign teams?
If its the "World" Series, how come there isnt any foreign teams?
...
International impact, and explanation of the term "World" Series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Series)
The title of this championship may be confusing to some readers from countries where baseball is not a major sport (or even where it is), because the "World" Series is confined to the champions of two baseball leagues that currently operate only in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) and Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada).
The explanation is that when the term "World's Championship Series" was first used in the 1880s, baseball at a highly-skilled level was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially the United States. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to "World's Series" and later to "World Series".
The United States continued to be the only professional baseball country until some decades into the 20th Century. The first Japanese professional baseball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Professional_Baseball#History) efforts began in 1920. The current Japanese leagues date from the late 1940s. Various Latin American leagues also formed around that time.
By the 1990s, baseball was played at a highly skilled level in many countries, resulting in a strong international flavor to the Series, as many of the best players from the Pacific Rim, Latin America, the Caribbean, and elsewhere now play on Major League rosters. The notable exception is Cuban nationals, due to the political situation between the USA and Cuba (despite that barrier, over the years a number of Cuba's finest ballplayers have defected to the United States to play in the American professional leagues). Players from the Japanese Leagues also have a more difficult time coming to the Major Leagues because they must first play 10 years in Japan before becoming free agents. Reaching the high-income Major Leagues tends to be the goal of many of the best players around the world.
Early in 2006, Major League Baseball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball) conducted the inaugural World Baseball Classic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Baseball_Classic), to establish a "true" world's championship in the way the term is normally used for other international sports. Teams of professional players from 16 nations participated, and Japan won the first World Baseball Classic championship. Olympic baseball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_at_the_Summer_Olympics) was instituted as a medal sport in 1992, but in 2005 the International Olympic Committee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Olympic_Committee) voted to eliminate baseball, and it will be off the Olympic program in 2012.
The World Series itself retains a US-oriented atmosphere. The title of the event is often presented on television as merely a "brand name" in the same sense as the "Super Bowl", and thus the term "World Series Championship" is sometimes used. However, the origin of the term lives on, as with these words of Frank Thomas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Thomas_%28AL_baseball_player%29) in the Chicago White Sox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_White_Sox) victory celebration in 2005: "We're world's champions, baby!" At the close of the 2006 Series, Commissioner Bud Selig pronounced the St. Louis Cardinals "champions of the world". Likewise, the cover of Sports Illustrated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Illustrated) magazine for November 6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_6), 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006), features Series MVP David Eckstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Eckstein) and is subtitled "World Champions".
A recent myth has arisen that the "World" in "World Series" came about because the New York World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_World) newspaper sponsored it. There is no evidence at all supporting that hypothesis.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Series#_note-origin)The annual publication called the World Almanac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Almanac) was originally published by the New York World. Its ambiguous title and U.S.-centric content may have inspired the World Series myth, either facetiously or naively.
Humorist Ring Lardner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_Lardner), when writing columns about ongoing World Series in the 1910s (including the infamous 1919 Series) mocked the pomp surrounding the games he covered (as well as his own persona) by calling the event the "World's Serious".

*Yawn*
[ROFL2]
I do wish Them Luck Though.
well gentlemen, this dont look good.[Rant1]
well, our pitching sucked ass tonight.
Becket did a good job.
our hitting sucked too.
there are 6 more games...
I am somewhat reminded of a crisp winter day in Jan. 1978.
I never will understand umpires and their roaming strike zones...
Another game down. It's looking tough for the Rockies.
wth?
pitching again gave them the runs to win.
our batting skill were crappy.
who the hell was that in the rockies uniforms? sure wasn't the Colorado Rockies we sent to Boston.
I'm proud of them for making it to the world series... but I am very dissapointed with their performance (uhhh, lack of it, I should say).
if they thought the heat was on for game 1, it's all or nothing from here on out.
I'm betting "nothing". You have to respect the pattern.
I sure wish the Rocks would get at least 1 game against the Sox.
Okay boys we got them right where we want them! Are you ready to Rock? Let's go ROCKIES!!!!!
Couldn't make it out of the first inning unscathed...
Close, but no cigar. Sox 4, Rocks 3. The Sox were impressive. Congrats to the Rockies for even making the big show. Better luck next year!
After they get done beating the dead horse, I won't have to hear about that boreing game till April.
