So I did not see any of this game past the fourth inning, but then again, I'm not sure that there was any reason for me to do so.
Colorado, quite simply, has played overmatched.
When the American League team's pitcher gets a hit that drives in two runs, there's an issue, and Colorado is now as up against the wall as you can get.
Josh Fogg, the "dragonslayer" was supposed to be brilliant, but he couldn't make it out of the third inning. If you can't make it past the third inning, you probably shouldn't be starting a game in the World series, but who knows. Maybe Fogg just 'didn't have it'...it could have been the pressure of the World Series, who knows?
The nine days off seems to have been nothing but a horror story for Colorado, but again, who knows?
They weren't supposed to make the playoffs at all, six games out with twenty to play, but they had a miracle in them then.
Maybe there's another miracle in their hearts as well.

ReplyDeleteOr a playoff game. You might want to write clemens and let him know.
Is it too much to hope for a Rockies 4 game comeback. An epic Sox collapse is about all that could save the season for me. Sadly, I doubt it will happen.
