Red Sox Are One Game Away From Being World Series Champions
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, MLB, Playoffs, Scoreboard,
After having one of the most dominant postseasons in Major League history up until the World Series, the Colorado Rockies find themselves in a new position: Down 3 games, struggling to survive. Last night the Boston Red Sox put another beating on the Rockies, winning 10-5. Dice K Matsuzaka not only went 5.1 innings strong, but contributed with a clutch 2 run single in the 3rd inning, to blow the lead wide open and knock out befuddled Colorado journeyman starter Josh Fogg. Jacoby Ellsbury continued his bid to keep Coco Crisp on the bench, with 4 hits and 2 RBI’s. The Rockies last hope will rest on Aaron Cook’s shoulders, who will do battle with Jon Lester tonight in the possibly final game of the World Series.

The way the Diamondbacks are playing, its no surprise that their fans can’t sell out Chase Field. Scoring just two runs tonight, the Colorado Rockies took a 2 game advantage against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a final score of 3-2. The Rockies have yet to lose a game in the postseason.

The 2007 Colorado Rockies will continue their hot streak later on in October. With the help of ten pitchers, the Rockies defeated the San Diego Padres in a one game tiebreaker. Home Runs for Colorado came from Todd Helton and Yorvit Torrealba. Josh Fogg got the start, but didn’t fare too well. He lasted only 4 innings but gave up 8 hits and 5 earned runs. However the bullpen was up for the task, including a great performance from Matt Herges. Herges, who once saved 23 games for the 2004 San Francisco Giants, threw 3 scoreless innings in relief. The Rockies started their scoring in the very first inning, with 2 runs from a sacrifice fly off the bat of Todd Helton and a single from Garret Atkins. Trevor Hoffman wound up blowing a 2 run lead in the 13th inning.
“It’s been an incredible run from game 1 to game 163,” Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. “This is just a snapshot of what we’ve been through.”

NBA Live 07 Videogame Predicts Finals Outcome
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Championship, NBA, Playoffs, Video Games,
The NBA Finals begin Thursday night, but Electronic Arts already has the outcome of the series, thanks to a simulation using NBA Live 07. The Spurs will take in the series and the championship in six games, with Tim Duncan being named MVP. It’s certainly a possibility, and actually one that matches my personal prediction. But then again, NBA Live 07 is a horrible basketball game, so I wouldn’t put much stock into what it says.
Only one game where LeBron scores more than 30? Bruce Bowen or not, I can’t see that happening – Tayshaun Prince may not be as good a defender as Bowen, but LeBron didn’t have much trouble lighting him up. It’ll be fun to see how the final scores stack up against the results from each of the simulated games, though.

Kobe Bryant Asks for Trade, Takes Back Words
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, NBA, Playoffs, Rumors,
Los Angeles Lakers star player Kobe Bryant has requested a trade from the team. Then he back-peddled from the request.
“I would like to be traded, yeah. Tough as it is to come to that conclusion, there’s no other alternative. It’s rough, man, but I don’t see how you can rebuild that trust. I just don’t know how you can move forward in that type of situation.”
He said this on an interview with ESPN radio. However, just three hours later in an interview with Lakers flagship station KLAC radio he made completely contradictory comments.

Warriors Make History, Defeat Number One Seed Mavericks
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Athletes, NBA, News, Playoffs, Scoreboard,
Avery Johnson said all the pressure was on the Warriors. With a game 7 in Dallas looming, there was most assuredly plenty of pressure to be had. But you wouldn’t have known that from watching the Warriors on Thursday night. In their second straight game with a chance to eliminate the Mavs, the Warriors took care of business in the second half and finished off Mark Cuban’s club, 111-86, taking the series in six games.
It’s already been herald as the biggest upset in NBA playoff history. The Warriors were not given a chance in this series by anyone – but that didn’t stop them from becoming only the third eight-seed team to ever eliminate a number one seed in the playoffs, and the first team to accomplish this since the first round turned to a seven game series in 2002.

Bryant Redeems Himself, Scores 45
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, Editorial, NBA, Playoffs,
Kobe Bryant’s 39 point performance in game one of the Los Angeles Lakers-Phoenix Suns series was misleading, as he scored just once in the fourth quarter. However he’s again in good graces with Laker fans, scoring 45 points Thursday. He had the clutch factor as well, as at one point the Lakers were down by 17 points. He stepped into his own in the fourth quarter scoring 15 points.
