Worst Post-season EVER
If TBS doesn't run out a better broadcast crew.
The guys tonight seriously made me long for a Joe Morgan/Jeff Huson tandem.
Heard a lot of homers call games and a lot of idiots call games as well but this is the first time that no one knew anything about either team (or virtually any of the players on either team).
Padres fans had to be cringing just as badly as Rockies fans (or close to it).
Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

The TBS announcers
The game should have been over in regulation. Atkins' "double" was a homer. Corpas blew through the Pads 1-2-3.
It's karmic justice, and now we go to the NLDS while the Pads go home.

The crew
I agree about how ESPN and TBS played up the final play at the plate... Holliday thinks he got it, so does Buddy Black... oh, wait, Tim McClellan thinks so too and his is the only opinion that counts.

The play at the plate
ESPN and a lot of the sportswriters don't like it because they can't cook up their bullshit that it's impossible to win in Colorado any more. Oh, and I'm also sure that now that the Rockies are in the playoffs, all the complaints about the humidor are going to start up again. (Colorado can't have a 90-win team or a starting pitcher with a 4.22 ERA, can they?)

Speaking of ESPN
Also, everyone over there picked it to go 5 games.
For the record, predictions mostly just amuse me because people seem to feel the need to know what's going to happen before it does. It's like knowing a big secret. "Teehee I know Philly is winning in 5 games teehee". It's all so ridiculous. What the hell do any of these people know about the Rockies? They've been paying attention for maybe 10 days. We just sat through an epic game #163. Because it HAPPENED to be televised nationally (is that our first game the entire country could watch?), everyone suddenly thinks they know a thing or two about us. They're all more than welcome to shut the hell up and watch the fireworks display in Philadelphia where another media darling lead by 3 MVP candidates who are GREATLY aided by their extreme hitters park (oh yeah, I went there) gets to match their thunder with ours.
Lastly, I'd like to apologize to the Padres fans over at Gaslamp Ball. I can't imagine what it must be like to watch your season end in such an excruciating fashion. I'm sure it would have been much less painful had they gotten the Atkins HR call correct and you wouldn't have to think you got royally screwed for the rest of your lives.
So the day after I've been a little bit angry about a few things. I feel better. Thanks for the platform.
