      Rockies Redo Series Ticket Web Sales

      The Rockies blamed an “external malicious attack” for the crash of a partner company’s server who was handling the sale of World Series tickets, and said they'll try again tomorrow. The site received 8.5 million hits in 90 minutes but, according to a company spokesman, traffic was not the issue. Only a few hundred of the estimated 60,000 available tickets were sold, reports the Rocky Mountain News . More »

      Rockies Servers Crash, Halting Series Ticket Sales

      The Colorado Rockies have suspended World Series ticket sales—both online and at the box office—after a partner company's servers crashed under overwhelming demand. Tix went on sale at 10am, but the site had massive traffic 90 minutes beforehand, and by the time sales opened the system was hopelessly jammed. "It's a joke. They should have started selling these a while ago," says one fan. More »

      Rockies Try to Trademark 'Rocktober'

      If the Colorado Rockies have their way, the only Christmas stockings and baby booties bearing the moniker "Rocktober" will be official Rockies merchandise. The team filed for exclusive rights to the word earlier this month after it appeared in local headlines to describe Colorado's undefeated (and to some, unexpected) playoff run, the Rocky Mountain News reports .

      Rockies Restrict WS Ticket Sales to Internet

      The Rockies will be selling World Series tickets online only, reports the Rocky Mountain News .

The team that was only four games above .500 a month ago is now headed to its first World Series after going 21-1 so far to end a Cinderella season, reports the Rocky Mountain News. More »

      D-Backs Can't Stop Streaking Rockies

      The freight train that is the Rockies didn't lose any steam last night in Colorado, taking the third NLCS game 4-1 to put the Arizona Diamondbacks on the verge of extinction. Only one team has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a championship series, but the Diamondbacks are determined to "defy history," Justin Upton told the Arizona Republic. More »

      Rockies Remain Undefeated

      The Colorado Rockies held on to their postseason win streak last night courtesy of Arizona closer Jose Valverde, who walked in the winning run with two out in the 11th. The Diamondbacks put up a good fight, tying the game in the ninth and outhitting the Rockies, but the return of Willy Taveras spelled doom for Arizona, reports the Denver Post . More »

      Widow Gets Rockie Playoff $$$

      Looking to close out their first-round playoff series this weekend, the Colorado Rockies are focused on more than just baseball, the Denver Post reports. Manager Clint Hurdle revealed yesterday that his players voted to give a share of their playoff income to the widow of a minor league coach killed by a line drive to the head earlier this season.

      Phillies Take Loss, Face History

      The rally towels vanished in Philly today as Colorado's Kaz Matsui clocked a grand slam and the Rockies won 10-5, staking a 2-0 series lead. Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick gave up 5 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings and left the bases loaded for Matsui's go-ahead dinger. Phillies' leader Jimmy Rollins made up for yesterday, accounting for 4 runs, including the Phils' first ever postseason leadoff homer. More »

      Should Big Brother Watch Baseball?

      The instant replay-expecting public is ready for baseball to get out of the Stone Age, says LA Times columnist Bill Dwyre, following veteran umpire Tim McClelland's controversial call at home plate in Monday's Rockies-Padres game. It sent Colorado into the playoffs and raised pressure for MLB to utilize the instant replay. More »

      Rockies' Comeback is Complete

      The Colorado Rockies took their season down to the wire, finally clinching a post-season berth in a last-minute rally in the wild-card tiebreaker, reports the Rocky Mountain News .

      Rockies, Padres End Race in Tie

The two teams will play an elimination game tomorrow in Denver, with the winner facing the Phillies in the first round of the playoffs. The Padres blew a 4-2 5th inning lead and eventually lost in Milwaukee 11-6. More »

      Tie-Breaker Mayhem in NL?

      Imagine for a moment that Mets, Phillies, Diamondbacks, Padres and Rockies all finished with the same record. That could mean ties in the NL East, West and wild-card, and four days of tie-breaker games to send two teams packing. In the East, Philly would host New York for a one-game playoff. From there, it gets complicated. More »

      Colorado Rocks Milwaukee, 19-4

      Rookie Brewer Yovani Gallardo had a string of quality starts disrupted by a 2.2-inning, 11-run massacre in Colorado, the most runs given up by a Brewers pitcher in almost five years. Despite a miserable two-out walk-double-triple-double-single-homer sequence in the second, Gallardo was sent out to start the third to protect a weary bullpen. More »
