I'll admit - I attempted to purchase Rockies' World Series tickets today, and had a plan in place to make it out to Denver for the games. Admittedly, the Rox prepared themselves for the plan as much as I did - and crashed all their servers so no one could buy tickets. We'll try again tomorrow.
This was a far cry from my visit to Coors Field two years ago. I bought the tickets at the Stadium Box Office day of game with no wait.
That's evolution for you.
I get a good vibe from the World Series, which is comforting because the Collapse of '07 left a sour taste for baseball. I'm excited about this week - So what the Rox only joined the league 14 years ago? So what the Sox lost some luster after winning in '04? This feels like baseball. Rox v. Sox for all the marbles? I'm on board.
There's no teams that "snuck in the back door," or seem unworthy. Colorado and Boston earned their keep. They both show a lot of pride, have something left to prove, and clearly aren't in a "We're Happy to be Here" mode. This Series could end up like the '91 World Series - no wins for the away teams.
In which case, that's Boston in 7.
Regardless, it's about the journey since the destination doesn't involve Flushing, NY. Some time very soon - the Mets will get their due. This week, though... just give me a damn good ball game and I'll call it even.
