I don't think it'll be much different in Denver.

Dunno about the Rox's pitchers, but the Sox pitchers for games 3 and 4 are nothing special. We'll see if they can limit the damage.

But pencil Beckett in for a win in game 5, and the Rockies have a helluva mountain to climb here. They're basically forced to win all 4 games that aren't started by Beckett for the rest of this series...

P.S. 2 runs in 18 innings in the WS for the Rockies so far. Ouch.

yuck yuck yuck....go ahead and count em out guys please just think you have won the series already ...really please

you must have forgot it was the Rox that beat Buckett when he was 9-0

I don't know who I hate worse...

The Rockies who should have been closed out by Zona in the final week of the season (Great job Snakes)

or

The Crap Sox and their continuous legion of crying baby fans.

oh yeah Amnorix FWIW Fogg has been good when we need him...just kind of an odd pitcher...and Cook well

When I first tell you that the Rockies Opening Day starter today is Aaron Cook, you might use that as fuel to poke fun at the Colorado franchise. After all, who is Aaron Cook? Moreover, how is a guy who went 9-15 last year good enough to start on Opening Day? Well once you hear about what Cook went through two and a half years ago, you will reserve all jokes and revel in amazement over what he has overcome.

On Aug. 7, 2004, Cook was forced to leave a game at Coors Field because of dizziness and shortness of breath. A few hours later, tests revealed pulmonary embolisms - blood clots - in his lungs.

As noted in Player Profiles (which unfortunately is subscription based), the surgery was gruesome:

Aaron had the top rib on his right side removed to relieve compression on his subclavian vein in an eight-hour procedure performed by Dr. Robert Thompson at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.

What is now a surgical souvenir was a lethal piece of bone. The rib was pressing against Cook's collarbone, restricting the flow of blood through a vein in his right shoulder. The blood clots that traveled to Cook's lungs and ended his season during an Aug. 7 start - and very nearly his life - originated in that shoulder.

Here's the kicker:

In the first few days after surgery, Cook said, he was "crying in pain." Fluid in his lungs contributed to chest spasms and made breathing difficult. Once he gets back on the field, Cook said, he will realize how much he had to endure in order to return. "I don't think I can wish this surgery on my worst enemy," Cook said. "That's how much pain I was in."

From "crying in pain" to becoming the Opening Day starter in two and a half years? Well done Aaron, I am truly in awe. (And I'll try to remember this story when I'm contemplating bashing you after a bad start)

That isn't the only reason. They shouldn't be in the playoffs this year let alone the world series. Flat out. They beat a mediocre Philly team and then stomped Zona but it shouldn't have came to that. All the Snakes needed to do is win one of their last two games against them but they didn't. You know why? Because Arizona already had a playoff spot so they could care less. And the end result, CO knocks them out. Serves them right I guess.

Anyway, doesn't really matter know because its pretty obvious that the Rockies are not in the same category as the SOX.
