Rockies in 2.

 

So, Rockies take the first 2 in Philly, make it back to Colorado, but a HUGE snow storm sweeps through Denver, Philly is stranded and forced to forfeit?

Nope, Rockies win by such a large margin in Philly that the Philly fans kidnap the team and imprison them in yeszir's closet for eternity without anyone knowing about it. With no team, Philly forfeits.

Rockies in 5. Ubaldo Jimenez with 2 W's.

Why all the love for the Phillies? They were favored in 2007, too, and Colorado swept Philly out of the postseason. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you can't count Colorado out.

Yeah but you're biased. Stop it.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Biased like a fox. The Rockies are not a team that squeaked into the playoffs in a bad division. The NL West was rough down the stretch until the Giants faded. The Rox almost got the Division Title. THere's no reason a team that won 92 games this season and has had guys producing from a varitey of spots can't beat a team on similar footing. Colorado is not a bad team nor a middling one. They are good.

You're still biased.

 

I think the Rockies will win, but don't make it sound like the Phill's are pushovers.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I was referring more to the fact that only two other people picked the Rockies. I expected more of an even split.

2007 is pretty irrelevant when it comes to 2009. I'm not saying they're not a good team, all of the playoff teams are (except the ALC winner). I picked the Phillies, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Rockies took it.
