Also, the Don Denkinger gimmick is absolutely outstanding its timing, avatar and longevity.

Ridiculous. A pox on the Rockies and their annoying bandwagon fans (not that the D'Backs' fans are any better, but they're definitely less annoying). I want the Phillies to absolutely buttsex the Rockies into the next millenium. I care more about the Phillies winning than the D'Backs. That ending tonight was stupid, plus Philadelphia's teams couldn't win a bingo game surrounded by blind people plus I'm bringing serious hate for Colorado, let's do this.

this is so nitty... who cares if people have just recently started rooting for the Rockies to come through?

OK, how do you set up a criteria for which plays get reviewed? A challenge system? What are you going to do to penalize wrong challenges? Or go back to the old NFL system and IR anything that may be close?

Rocks do have a bunch of fairweather fans. Hopefully, they play the Cubs in the 2nd round so we can take over their ballpark like we always do. We'll surely be taking over the DBacks park.

We do have a lot of fairweather fans. But no Denver team gets support when the management aren't fielding a worthwhile product. The Broncos are the only ones that are exempt to this rule. I don't think its a bad thing. If the owners/managers don't respect the fans enough to put out a respectable product.. why should we spend our time and money on them? Especially when they were so profitable without any payroll.

Because bandwagon fans are really [censored] annoying people, usually people who know nothing about the team and then go to playoff games (because they have a lot of money and going to Rockies games is now the trendy thing to do) and say [censored] things like why does that man have to go back to his base after that other man catches the ball.

That throw from right was so bad that even Barry Bonds says it was a horrible throw.

Yeah that's not untrue I'm afraid, which makes me hate you [censored] Cubs homers. Go back to Chicago and taking your stupid [censored] Cub outfits with you until next spring training. Really hoping for a Phillies-D'Backs NLCS right now more for you losing than either of those clubs winning. Hate.

If you put someone competent in the review booth, you might have to stop the game once or twice per game.

I only bandwagoned for the last couple of days. I'll be back on though if they advance or the Cubs lose.

This whole fairweather concept is kinda nonsense. If you had any idea of how terrible the managers and owners did in Colorado.. many fans chose to not support their product until they fixed it. Denver is a die hard sports town, but we demand a good effort from ownership.
