Tomorrow as you all know, (unless you haven't been watching Dane Cook, in which case, way to not be a trendy bastard), is the start of the 103rd World Series. To mark this water shed moment, I thought I'd take a look today at Colorado Rockies. Tomorrow for the AM post, I'll examine the Boston Millars.
Jeff Francis
Matt Herges
Manny Corpas
Josh Fogg
Brian Fuentes
Who the hell are these people? (A) A list of characters killed off Lost last season, when a lot of crazy shit happened. (B) People caught on NBC's 'To Catch a Predator" with Chris Hansen. (C) List of pitchers who have won playoff games for the Rockies this post-season.
If you guessed A, nice try. Although, at this point the smoke monster is way more famous then any of these guys ever will be.
If you guessed B, again nice try. None of these guys fit that bill, but eyes should be kept on Joe Buck at all times.
Finally Guess C. You are correct, you get to go past Go. Yep, these are the 5 people who won playoff games for the Rockies this post-season. This is just a group of hard working guys who combined make as much as Roger Clemens' personal trainer. Corpas, Fuentes, Herges and a cast of a thousand AL misfits make up the Rockies' pen. After watching him with the Orioles, whoever thought LaTroy Hawkins would still be pitching in key spots for a playoff contender? At this point, I thought he'd be playing for the Hiroshima Whale Killers.
Jeff Francis, Fogg, Ubaldo Jimenez and Franklin Morales make up the Rocks' rotation. If that doesn't put the fear of God in Sox fans, I don't know what will, except for Eric HgHane.
Now to the position players. We have Matt Holliday, who may be the NL's MVP this year, although Fox Sports Net Mountain High doesn't quite reach the East Coast, so chances are Jimmy Rollins will win the award for the Fightins'.
Todd Helton, the Rockies lonnnnnnnng time 1st baseman used to back up Peyton Manning in college. Thats all the media chooses to tell us about him and Seth Smith, the pinch hitter extraordinare who used to back up Eli at Old Miss. I'd take either of those guys over McNabb right now.
Beyond those three, I'm not really too familiar with any of the other position players, so I'll just pull a McCarver and tell you that they all play their positions when its time for defense and hit when its time for offense.
So, there it is. We'll talk about the Boston Red Sox tomorrow and try to not get a restraining order from Kevin Millar.
Theres only one October. and only one World Series. and only one Lord Elevation's throne.

It's time for the upstart Rockies to leave the stage clear for a glamor team.
We can't have little teams winning things.It's bad for the sport.
I abhor the Red Sox,but nature dictates they must win.
Must win,I say.
Nature abwhores the Red Sox.
Abwhores, I say.
One down,three to go.
Sox in four.
The Rockies capitulate faster than the Orioles.
Nature abjures the little teams.
Abjures,sayeth I.
Wish the Rox would have won.
