I DID get selected.
ok….I wonder if this was totally random, or if it had to do with my past history. I’ve had the “Coors Guys Night Out package” for several years (5 out of the last 6). But that is ticket package, that does not come with post season rights. I also purchased 07 playoff tickets online, so they would have a record. AND I’m in the Denver metro area.
I wonder if that had any bearing on who got selected and who didn’t?
and if you're going to invite me or not

we'll bring foam bats as to mitigate the injury potential

Doesn't seem like it.
I’ve bought tickets through their system with the same email address for the past five years, bought NLDS and NLCS tickets in 07 through the system, and registered early. I also live in Broomfield and have bought individual game tickets to about 15-20 games this year. No dice. Hopefully Mrs. Rox R Champs will get the call…

by Rox R Champs on Sep 21, 2009 9:15 AM MDT up reply actions
well...that does make it seem random
I was thinking they might try to weigh the system so that the tickets would end up in the hands of local fans, and not scalpers, and not folks from say…St. Louis. All complaints from 07.
me toooooooooooo
of course, we still aren’t guaranteed tix, it’s first come first served. I’m sure they selected more than enough names to insure a sell out, but the odds should be pretty good. I’ll be online at 9AM, high speed cable ready to burn through the crowds…
I'll buy one from you
for more than RMN would.

I enjoyed the Tacos yesterday
it’s been awhile since the Rockies got us Tacos. Also it was nice for the Rockies to beat and ace with our ace. Also seems awhile since that has happened, though I guess the Rockies have never really had an “Ace” before.
The playoff race is not over, but, it’s time to start looking at the Magic Number. Again….a first for the Rockies Currently that number to eliminate the Giants is 9. Both Florida and Atlanta 8. See it here And for the record, the magic number for the Dodgers to eliminate the Rockies in the West is 8
and for the Broncos
2 tacos when the Broncos score 2 TDs? What a rip off. I’m glad I’m a Rockies fan!
except
the Tacos are free when you buy the drink. None of this $1 stuff.

I actually deleted it at first, and then had to go look in my trash folder after I saw that Russ got one.
I get so many e-mails from coloradorockies.com, that I just didn’t look very closely.
Yeah, during the middle of the season
the official website started to send out a lot of e-mails.

I’m thinking it had to have been random. I’ve also purchased tickets online before but i somehow doubt that curried any favor. Just wondering what percentage of those who registered were selected – any ideas?
Damn
I didn’t get them either. At least with this system it will avoid the ugly mes that was 2007 World Series tickets.

I didn't get in either.
I am in the same boat as everyone else it seems, a local who buys all his tickets through the main site. This system will work until you get some jerk in Vermont with no intention of going but wants to sell them on ebay for double the price to somebody desparate enough to go…like me. Hopefully I will get selected for NLCS and WS tixs, as I believe those are separate drawings.
they are separate drawings, you're right

Or will it be totally random again?

I remember someone chastising someone just yesterday
About counting chickens, etc. The Rockies have clinched nothing as of yet. Careful.
I also got my Dear John letter from the Rockies. But I’ve been so faithful all this time. I didn’t quit on you, even when Todd Helton was the only player anyone could name on the team. This is what I get in return?
By the way, I’d be in for a get together if I’m in Colorado in a month (a slight possibility). I’d be interested to meet y’all.

Today
I think it’s ok. I mean I haven’t wanted to believe it could actually happen…but now that this email went out it seems real. That, and the victory yesterday was HUGE step.
Nothing is set in stone….BUT…I think plans can be made.
I understand
My chastisement was lighthearted. I got really excited when I saw that e-mail this morning. Even though I was not of the chosen few, it makes the “Rockies in the postseason” thing that much more tangible. As a nearly lifelong Rockies fan who has seen only 2 postseasons with a team worth rooting for, 2 in 3 years seems like a delirious dream come true.

I'm in.

Unfortunately, my place barely holds me and a TV, so some other generous Rowbot will have to volunteer. Doing it at a bar around Coors would be fun too, though they’ll be packed to the gills.

in 07
they had a packed house on a Saturday game during the NLDS….but after the game started it was much lighter. But Saturday’s they have a lot of Alumni groups that watch games there so Saturdays are bad.
well the latter part makes sense
we’ll see, I’m sure cost may be prohibitive to some who’d like to join us. Either sports bar or “somebody’s house” and get enough pizza to make a castle out of the empty boxes afterward.

Does my rejection for the NLCS and WS count?
I didn’t get in on time for the NLDS, of course I won’t get rejected for the NLCS until 10/6.
Rox, please start playing with heart! Let's finish this thing off!
I love your optimism...
I am hoping that a NLDS rejection increases my odds of winning WS tickets that I won’t be able to afford.
It just seems that everyone is being rejected, so I am assuming
and if I don’t get them, I’ll be ok w/ that. I would just be happy to see my boys in the post season on TV.

Meet Angel Villalona. 19 years old, first baseman, second-best hitting prospect in the San Francisco Giants system and top-50 prospect entering the season. Appeared in Futures Game in 2008.
Oh yeah, and one other thing interesting about him: he should find a safe house or a relative close by, and lay low for a while, because he’s probably wanted for murder.

I have a hard time buying that Zach Greinke's fastball has clearly more velocity than Ubaldo's
or even Halladay for that matter. It would make more sense, since it is an 07-09 study, if they gave Ubaldo’s “0” scores for the first three months. The associated anchor weight on his scores would then make it seem accurate.

not everyone is sold on stewart
but at that level of evaluation, I’d be amazed if they know the pros and cons of Mr. Ian Shades Caber Beef Stewart

I'm not sold on him either
at least in terms of having any clue what he’ll be. But as for who plays third next year, I want to know who the FO would bring in to supplant him that is better than a bad-year-102 OPS+/.341wOBA-strong-defense-Stew.

You know
one of you investigative reporters here on the Row, ought to call the Rockies and do a story on the tix situation. Who got picked, was it random or weighed in any way, were people out of town turned down, did it help to have bought tickets on line in the past etc. Will getting picked or not getting picked for one round affect the chances for tickets the next round in any way?
You might wait until after tomorrow to see how the sales go.
and that person ain’t me.

Um, needless to say...
If anyone got a ticket ration that they’re not going to use all of for the NLDS, please let me know. ;-)
Me and about 450 other Rowbots, of course.

I heard that McCovey Cove was going to pitch in
and arrange for you to watch the games from the comfort of a Hot air balloon floating over Coors field.
Bwahahahah
So I can go down in flames like….well….like their season.

Pat Misch just gave up 4 in the first inning again
this time against the Braves. BOO.
(aka I STILL can’t believe we let that guy shut us down)
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
