Tickets to tonights play in game are sold out, including singles, and obstructed view, and sanding room only tickets.  A few were left this morning and only for sale at Coors Field window which opened at 7am...they were sold out just after 8am.  

However, NL-Championship series tickets went on sale today at 9am.  They are available online.  Limit is 16 tickets. Prices are higher then for the NLDS. Prices start at $30 for the Rock Pile (all pre-sale for the playoffs), $60 for all the outfield sections, up to $100/seat for lower infield tickets.  As the NL-CS is a 7 game series home game 1 & 2 will be played even in a 4 game sweep. Home game 3 is "if needed".

Posting this again in case any one needs to see it  : This note was included with my NLDS tickets regarding refunds:

There are no refunds for games that are played.  For games that are not played, individual game tickets are  refundable.  Tickets may be submitted for refund ONLY AT THE COORS FIELD TICKET OFFICE, ether in person or by mail. All refunds will be issued by check (fans should allow 4-6 weeks for processing).  Per ticket service charges will be refunded.  For internet and phone orders, the $4.00 per order processing/handling fee cannot be refunded. (Note the non refundable per order fee for NLCS is $6.50)

I have seen no word on World Series ticket sales yet.

For the record, I bought only 2 tickets and that is was for game 3.....I'm getting tapped out.  

partly due because I was too amped to lie down, and partly because some idiots with mowers outside my window woke me up at 7:45 this morning. I'm already wearing my Rockies shirt and necklace, and will add the jersey and hat around gametime. And I need to get off the Internet and stop reading about it, because it's making me feel sick with anticipation and dread. I know the situation, I know what's at stake, and I want it pretty much more than I've ever wanted anything as a baseball fan. That's saying a lot.

I want this win like I want to keep breathing. I'll be watching the game with a friend tonight (hooray for purloined TVs!) and I'm not sure I'll live.

Beat the Padres!

Hey guys, I've got about 30 minutes before a doctor's appointment I had to drive all day yesterday to get to, but I stopped into a Barnes and Noble just so I can type about how excited I've been for just about 24 hours now. This season has been memorable, remarkable, and I can't tell you how happy I'll be if my 89 regular season wins prediction turns out to be one off after tonight.

I was so disappointed driving yesterday when Western New York radio stations actually had the Broncos game but no Rockies. It was crazy. I thought, even here I can't escape the second class citiznery of my team. I had to rely on the Blue Jays broadcasters and fleeting looks at my cell phone for score updates, and when the Padres final came in I pulled over and screamed and when the Rockies final came in I had to get out of my car and jump up and down. Luckily there was a tollway service stop nearby, although there are a lot of people in Western NY who will probably shield their children from the crazy lady should we ever see each other again.

Anyway, tonight my quest is to find someplace where I can have both Internet and cable access, but I've already got a call in to a scalper to get me tickets in Philadelphia. That road trip's going to be a lot more fun. Go Rockies!

DodgerSims blog, which has been simulating every NL West game this season is giving the Rockies a win expectancy of 50.65% in today's wildcard play-in game.  The Las Vegas Hilton is not so kind, they only give the Rockies a 42.55% chance of winning.  I think part of the problem is that Vegas and the betting public are drinking the Jake Peavy Kool-aid (and rightly so), without giving the Josh Fogg suds a sip.  Fogg is a much better pitcher this year than most people think and that offense is to die for.
vr, Xei  

...that traffic was bad on the way to the airport in Milwaukee, and that the flight had a whole bunch of turbulance, and that the beds at the hotel were lumpy...

What a great season. I have to admit, I had NO hope at the begining of the year that this could or would happen. I was a pessimist. A non believer. Maybe even a guy with no hope.

Now I have my NLDS tickets in hand for Game 2. I'm tempted to buy NLCS tickets.

I've never been as impressed in the fight and never say die attitude of a Rockies club as much as this year's club. It sounds like I'm being a homer, but if Tulo doesn't get ROY, it's a shame, and Holiday deserves big consideration for MVP. This club has some special players on it.

It's been awhile since I've cared about any of the Rockies players like I do this year. Maybe as long as like '98 or '00 or so.

But they've made a believer out of me, come what may tonite.

I believe we can win it. I sure hope we do. I was watching the Padres game yesterday on the MLB package and as much as I love Gwynn, there was a certain arrogance that was being bandied about on the air after the Brewers took a commanding lead... almost as if it was no big deal, that the Padres OBVIOUSLY are supposed to be the wild card, it's just a formality...

And I know that the braodcasters for teams are like that. Hell, the White Sox are referred to as "the good Guys"... but still.

I really really really want to see the Padres, and crew, eat some crow.

Please?

I haven't been able to sit still all day, folks.

We've waited 12 years for a moment like this. We've waited about a decade for Denver to embrace the Rockies the way we have. And it's all coming to fruition tonight.

I would give anything to be there tonight - so those of you that are going, make a little extra noise for me and all the rest of us who can't be rocking the house on Blake Street tonight.

This is our night. This is our team. This is OUR TIME! Savor it. Live it. Love it.

As if I needed a reson to dislike Marcus Giles or Michael Barrett anymore than I already do.
