NLDS: Rockies Sweep Phillies 3-0

[Flames24Rulz]

Today has been as slow of a day as you could possibly imagine. Not only am I excited about the Cubs tomorrow night, but I can't wait until this game as well. It will be interesting to see if Colorado has any hangover from the game last night and Hamels will definitely make it as tough as possible on Colorado's offense.

 

Either way, go Rockies.

Go whoever is easier for the Cubs!!

I don't if they'll dominate but, they'll win the series.

 

The Phillies are little more consistent on the road as a result, they've got a pretty good chance at getting one in Colorado. True, the Rockies pitching has improved but, the fact remains they're still a team that' awesome in Colorado and not so on the road:

 

Home: .298,.372,.480 BA,OBP,SLP

Road: .261,.336,.395

 

Compared to the Phillies splits:

 

Home: .280,.357,.475 BA,OBP,SLP

Road: .268,.350,.442

Lord, the Rockies are almost hitting for no power on the road.

Thankfully, their road games will be played in that stadium in Philly. I think they'll do better than their road humbers.

GO ATKINS AND UTLEY!!

[E.J.]

Both pitchers very impressive in the first inning with 1-2-3 innings. Hamels had 2 k's while Francis struck out the side.

[Omar]

Good hustle Helton.

[Flames24Rulz]

Sweet, leadoff triple for Helton.

[Flames24Rulz]

RBI double for Atkins :)

[UMFan83]

Looks like the Rockies are still hot.

[E.J.]

I can honestly say I'd rather have Jacque Jones facing a lefty than Brad Hawpe. He is completely lost against lefties.

[Banedon]

Go Rockies.

[Flames24Rulz]

Torrealba drives in Atkins. 2-0 Rockies.

[E.J.]

Rockies up 2-0 and still threatening. Hamels is struggling in the 2nd.

[Guest]

RBI double for Atkins :)

 

Woo...UCLA!!!

go rockies :)

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

Is the consensus here that the Rockies would be a more favorable opponent to "a team" that advances from the Cubs/D'backs series?

[E.J.]

I love how you hear the f-bomb from Hamels every time he does something bad. :lol:

[JeffH]

Is the consensus here that the Rockies would be a more favorable opponent to "a team" that advances from the Cubs/D'backs series?

 

I don't think it's a slam dunk, but I'd rather face Francis than Hamels and Rollins-Utley-Howard is scarier than the Rockies offense.

 

Also, we'd have home field.

[Careless]

wow, how did he catch that

[CuseCubFan69]

Do you think that crossed up the catcher? Wow.

I like our chances against the Rockies, but honestly I just like the team better...I'm a fan of Helton's and as long as it doesn't hurt the Cubs, I'd like to see him do well.
