How bout them Rockies?!
Future Matt Holliday, Seth Smith, comes through to get momentum for Rockies.
Real Matt Holliday comes through with a key homer.
Byrnes does a face-plant as the last out of the game/series.
Tulowitzki proves himself to be a future Gold Glover.
Helton gets a chance to show how high he can jump (again).
Out of all the post-season games so far I'd say this is the closest the Rockies have come to 'being lucky':
-Bob Melvin kept the rookie (who seemed to be more concerned with getting hits for himself than pitching) in 1 batter (Holliday) too long.
-The Rockies then put on a strikeout show while holding the lead (Juan Cruz owns the Rockies).
-D-Bag, catcher, Snyder converts a Fuentes mistake/meat-ball into a 3-run homer at a key moment.
-Byrnes is overanxious to prove himself as last at-bat.
Who's next, Indians or Red Sox? Indians at this point are most-like the Rockies which would make for an interesting Series; while the Red Sox would mostly be a bunch of has-beens with most of the country likely behind them and the Rox would have no choice but to embarrass them (again).
Too late to type more right now.
