As a Rockies fan I'm just a little defensive these days. Ok, fair point, thanks for clarifying. As a Rockies fan I’m just a little defensive these days.

Their tickets disappeared the day after they became available. No big name stars? Yeah, I guess last year's NL Cy Young winner (likely this year's runner up) and this year's likely NL MVP don't really count. I mean, if they were any good, wouldn't they be playing in the AL? Good point. spence096- The DBacks struggled to sell out their games, but the Rockies definitely did not. Their tickets disappeared the day after they became available. No big name stars?

Watching the Rockies kick ass like this is surely one for the books. It just sucks the games are on so late! This series is definitely not boring.

If the Rockies win tonight, they would have only shown 17 out of a possible 27 games they had the rights to. This is only one game above the minimum of 16. With Monday Night Football, a pretty late start time, two non-marquee teams playing, a fairly boring series and a game shown only on cable, I bet tonight's game could historically low for a NLCS game. It looks like TBS is going to have to give a lot money back to its sponsors. How fucked is TBS with baseball?

It has nothing to do with that...these teams' own fans won't even sell out these playoff games, why should we, as non-fans care?However, i watched a decent amount of last night before I passed out, the Rockies are awesome. D-Backs are pretty awesome too, but this series is just fucked. Fan apathy, non-fan apathy, two relatively green franchises, terrible television broadcast, no big name stars, matched up against one of the marquee franchises playing another team with a relatively large fan base in the power League...like I said, fucked.

Yes TBL, I actually like watching NL baseball; sue me. I could do without that pompous ass Chip Caray, but that's beside the point. After the NLCS is over, he's gone. Anyway, <I>you</I> can call it boring if you want, but I won't. What's boring is the constant dick sucking that the Red Sox get from the MSM and a lot of bloggers.
