Baseball is a game of inches, and even at a mile above sea level, the inches just didn't go the Rockies' way.

There was plenty of tober but not enough rock.

Dear evenue.net,

If your IT infrastructure is unable to handle all sports fans in Denver trying to buy World Series tickets at precisely 10 AM, please consider a different ticket distribution method. May I humbly suggest assigning a lottery number to everyone who visits your site over, say, a twelve hour period. At the end of that period, you can email winners of that lottery and give them a time window during which they may complete the transaction. At the end of that window, uncompleted ticket transactions may be offered to the next random batch.

Yours,
a fan
(of baseball, not of online ticket vendors)

If you walk in a run in the 11th inning of the championship series...

... you might be doomed to a sweep.

Go Home Team

Who'd have thought that the second ever playoff game at Coors Field would end 2-1, giving the Rockies a sweep?

I of course had the fortune to attend the one game they've lost in the last three weeks. Hopefully that can extend to six.
