Good series by the Rockies btw. You guys showed a lot of fight and forced our team to play our best ball possible. I have no doubt that the Rockies will be back next year and will play the same exact way. Hats off to Jim Tracy for making this club into a contender again, and good luck in the future years. Once again, good series Rockies fans, I may hate all of you, but I'll show respect to your club.

Rockies are a tough team -- if they can shore up their bullpen a little bit they'll be a threat next year.

Anyone read Stark's article on ESPN.com?

I loved it. But, then again, I am a Phillies fan. I doubt a Rockies fan would get much enjoyment out of it.

Speaking of Rockies' fans -- just how clueless are they?

Going nuts on routine pop ups and ground balls that the Rockies hit. Annoyingly booing basically every pitch the Phillies didn't swing at because it wasn't a strike called. Oh, and apparently throwing to first base even once makes them cry as well. How about cheering when Werth fouled one off his foot and went down. I think they did it to Ruiz, too. I thought that stuff only happened in Philly.

I didn't think much of the fair weather Rockies' fans before this series, but I now have no respect for them because they are a bunch of whining, clueless crybabies who just started watching baseball in September.

Their team, on the other hand, is a tough group who could contend for a while. Jim Tracy is all class too, giving props to the Phils last night and not making any excuses.

My friend and I were talking about EXACTLY the same thing. Although there are a couple Rockie fans here that I don't mind (although the Rockies fans in general don't seem to pop up until their classic late season surge). Still, was REALLY annoying to hear boo's for every non-swing.

And someone else mentioned it, but that pitch track thing on TBS SUCKS. The umps were also wildly inconsistent, but nothing was more irritating than watching a ball tracked as out of the strike zone but it obviously being a strike. Just strange. TBS, go back to showing "Meet the Browns" and commercials for the George Lopez show.

TBS' coverage is brutal.

Yea for a while I thought they were Rockies announcers doing the games.......but then I realized that TBS is a Turner Broadcast System i.e. Braves Superstation........so that pretty much explained the hatred towards the Phillies by their announcers. Screw em.......Braves didnt make it, and the team they obviously were backing lost.

Yeah, Brian Anderson sounded like someone ran over his dog when he was calling Howard's tying double. He came twice when Torrealba hit that 2 run double in the 8th, though.

Anderson is such a BORRRRIIINNGGG announcer, hopefully we have a guy who actually sounds enthused for the NLCS.

One more thing to rag on the Rockies about:

Fuck their mascot (whose name I just figured out was Dinger). Apparently he does this often but, he was behind home plate in the eighth (and maybe the ninth, was too stressed then to look) being all kinds of obnoxious and trying to distract Lee. Isn't this Major League baseball?
