Full Version: Colorado Rockies Going to First World Series
Candles Lighting Candles > The Rec Center > The 10th Inning

With the Rockies making it to the world series that leaves four teams who have never been.

Name them smile.gif

(Hint - one of them just left Canada within the last few seasons)

PS
Think the break between them clinching and the series starting will affect their momentum? They've won 20 of their last 21 games.

They mentioned that last night during the game. I believe it's the Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals.

I wondered about the layoff affecting them but the way they're playing, it may not. They're really on a roll.

Very good! We may have to start a sub-forum in The 10th Inning:
Ask the Sports Sheep!

Colorado is "on fire" but I want to see if the NL champ keeps the trend going, that is going up against the AL in the Series and choking.

No matter who they play, it looks like all the home team crowds will be "the tenth man" smile.gif

I'd like to see Cleveland in there only because it's been so long and I kind of enjoy watching the underdogs get in do well. The only thing with Colorado is heck, it might get snowed out. Eugene.gif It was COLD in Colorado.
HABS
Boston was in one of my favorite World Series of all time -- '86 -- they had "Oil Can" Boyd pitching and New York Mets had Mookie Wilson and Ray Knight in the infield. Mets had unbelievable finish to win Game six which Boston would have clinched the Series with except for "the Mookie Ball" being muffed by Buckner

A possible "snowed out WORLD SERIES GAME"? Interesting. Red Sox might still face a reprise of CURSE OF THE BAMBINO, broken in 2004 after 86 years.

Indeed Habs, the 1986 post season was about the most exciting two weeks of baseball ever.

The Mets and Houston and the Red Sox and Angels were about as evenly matched as it could possibly get, every inning a nail biter- then the Series itself!
