      Rockies Sweep to World Series

      Apparently having forgotten how to lose a game, the Colorado Rockies completed their sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks last night with a 6-4 win. 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 »

    • Destiny's team? Rockies just might be

      MLB.com  |  Oct 16, 07

      DENVER -- The thread running through recent World Series has been a fixation on droughts and curses. Well, get ready for a new fix, on destiny darlings and charms. The Colorado Rockies inspire that new theme. They will float into the 2007 Fall Classic on an unprecedented high, carried by timely hits, clutch pitches, defensive thievery and just enough inexplicable acts to sell the notion that they are blessed. "Like they were touched by the hand of God," is how one unbiased observer put it, even before the Rockies had blooped-and-blasted the D-backs into the offseason in Monday night's Game 4...

      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 »

      Colorado Starts Strong Against Arizona

      The Colorado Rockies rode Jeff Francis' solid pitching performance to a win last night, their first in the NLCS against Arizona and their 18th in 19 games. Francis allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings in a game that Diamondback fans delayed in the 7th by throwing debris onto the field to protest a call, reports the Rocky Mountain News. More »

      newser  |  Arizona Republic (Phoenix)  |  Oct 11, 07 4:06 PM CDT

      4,000 Seats Left for First Arizona Home Game

      As of last night, 4000 tickets remained to the Arizona Diamondbacks first home game tonight against the Rockies; 2800 remained for tomorrow's game two, the Arizona Republic reports. "I expect Friday to be sold out," Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall said. "Tonight will be close." Either way would be a big improvement over last year, he said, adding: "It was crickets out there." More »

      Winter Starts Now For Cubs

      The Arizona Diamondbacks ensured another year without a Cubs championship title last night, shutting down Chicago 5-1 for a sweep of the National League Division Series. The Cubs are "disappointed" to end their 99th season without a World Series win, but manager Lou Pinella promised that "this is just the start," reports the Chicago Tribune. 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.

      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 »

      The Arizona Diamondbacks clinched a playoff spot for the first time in five years with a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies last night. With the win, Arizona secured at least a wild-card berth and still can win the NL West. The victory snapped Colorado's 11-game winning streak and dampened the Rockies' own hopes of making the playoffs. More »

    • Kim hurls rare Coors Field shutout

      MLB.com  |  Sep 25, 05

      DENVER -- "Comfortable" and "Coors Field" are terms that have historically been oxymoronic for pitchers, but Sunny Kim rewrote the book Saturday night, settling into a comfort zone rarely seen in Denver's mile-high atmosphere. With the pride of Coors Field on the line, Kim gave the performance of his career, delivering one of the finest pitched games in the Rockies' 13-year history. Kim blanked the Giants in a 6-0 complete-game effort, evening the series and bringing the Rockies to .500 at Coors Field with one home game remaining. "That's as good a pitching performance as you're going to see...
