COLORADO ROCKIES CLINCH NL WILD CARD! Beat Brewers 9-2 to secure playoff berth.
by Rox Girl on Oct 1, 2009 4:10 PM MDT
in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintAaron Cook pitched a gem and got two RBI's by walking with the bases loaded as the Rockies swept the Brewers in three games. The offense pounded out fourteen hits in all. A full game wrap will follow shortly, but it's time for Rockies fans to CELEBRATE their second playoff appearance in three seasons.
The Rockies still have a chance to win their first ever division title by sweeping the Dodgers in Los Angeles, but their ticket to the playoffs has been punched. With the win, the Atlanta Braves are officially eliminated from competition from the National League wild card race.
WELCOME TO ROCKTOBER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
GO ROCKIES!!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!!!!
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
I'll be the guy in a orange shirt EVERY Monday...Broncos are my team win or lose.
yeah you did,
I wasn’t sure we’d sweep Milwaukee, or the Braves would lose two, but there you have it.
Do you have anymore sweet predictions?

John Kruk, Jeff Skilling and Bernie Madoff walked into a bar. Five minutes later, cops come in and arrest Skilling, Madoff for fraud and an assortment of Rockies fans for beating up Kruk to a bloody pulp.

what a way to send him out though!
I want post season
Do you think they replace him or does Jack go at it alone??
I hope if they do replace him it isn’t Mark Johnson…
I think it's much better with two guys, if you can get a good rapport going.
I would assume they’ll do a search over the off season.

Thank you, Cookie!!! You da man!
Okay, in my opinion, this should be our starting rotation for the playoffs (assuming we play on the road to start the series):
1) Ubaldo K-menez ….get things started right with our ace.
2) JDLR…..The pressure should be off with Ubaldo’s win the day before. JDLR will deliver.
3) Cookie…..I love Cookie at Coors. Enough said.
4) Hammel….Thank you, Marquis, for helping us get here. But, I do not trust you in the playoffs. Even in your last win, you labored horribly.
5) If we need a 5th starter, I vote for Contreras.
im willing to see what marquis does Sunday
Especially if we win the first two

I agree with Contreras being considered for a spot
He’s pitched well for us, knows the AL and has a WS ring.
Impossible not to have positive thoughts.
I want Sam Deduno to pitch already.
"knows the AL"
…is a huge advantage. I’d want him in my rotation, stat.
At this point in the season, all the Rockies' numbers are magic.
I like this, but I'd flip JDLR and Cookie

Although
in 2007 about 10-15 purple hats and purple pinstripe jerseys appeared around campus for the playoffs. It was weird. To see if any of them knew anything about the team I asked 3 of them who was pitching the opener and none of them knew it was Francis. 2 thought it was Hampton and one thought it Rodriguez…. I didn’t know they HAD a Rodriguez… I must not have been a good fan.
