Announcement at 4 o clock regarding ticket situation. A friend that worked at 950 said they are debating as they are shying away from internet sales due to this scenario just occuring again.

Which means they may go back on their decision and just do box office sales tomorrow.

We'll know within the hour.

Sorry I didn't read this all. Can someone put who is the best in each of these:

Hitting
Fielding
Starting pitching
bullpen
team speed
coaching

Right now the only ones I seem to be able to give to the rockies is fielding and team speed. Is that about right ? I just don't know enough about them.

Fielding is hard to judge but Boston turned a higher percentage of balls in play into outs than Colorado did (although Colorado has a very good defense too). I would either say it is a push or Boston has the edge.

Really ? I thought I heard someone on fox sports radio talk about the insane fielding the rockies had this year. I probably misheard.

No you probably heard correctly I just would not trust a lot of the crap you hear on sports radio.

If you scroll down to team pitching statistics on the below link, they ahve the stat DER, defensive efficency what proportion of balls in play turned into outs. BOS was at .706 and COL at .702, both very very good.

Just a general comment - I was watching the game and decided in the bottom of fourth inning that the Rockies were done. The combination of better pitching and the frustration of the Rockies hitters are derailing their World Series hopes. They were hacking away in that too desperate way, always behind in the count, losing patience, and thinking of big hits. As it turned out the home field fans at least got something to cheer about with Holiday’s homer but that was it. It will all end tomorrow especially if the Rockies continue with their no patience at the plate. The Rockies had a good run but will have to wait for their first WS Crown.
