All the chips down for Padres, Rockies

NL West rivals prepare to play with playoff spot in the balance

To me this is one of the most exciting things in sports today. One game, head-to-head, to determine who goes to the postseason and who stays home. Should be fun to watch. Pitching matchup definitely favors the Padres but the Rockies have been playing very well as of late. Anyone got the new TBSHD station to watch this one on?

[jlau20]

Agreed. I could really care less what teams are involved, or what sport is really, when something comes down to one game it's hard for me to look away. Game 7's, etc...but the one game playoff is one of my favorites.

[trwi7]

I guess I'll be rooting for the Rockies since I don't really care who wins but they're the home team and I'd like to see some new teams in the playoffs.

[thablingster]

Josh Fogg? Yucky, lol.

 

It would kind of be fun to see the Rockies get in, but I think they'd probably get crushed by the Phillies.

[Brian the Automator]

I'll be rooting for the Padres because if the Rockies get into the postseason, it'll just mean more MVP votes for the guy with the .859 OPS away from Coors.

[hawing]

I'm leaning Padres too, to improve Prince and Ryan's chances at not being robbed.

 

But if the Rockies win, it'll be mildly fun to watch the home fans go nuts (followed by bittersweet to watch the same); and if we Brewer fans so chose, we could mutter a Nelsonesque "HA ha" under our breath.

 

So I guess that's win-win for me? http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif

The game starts at 6:37pm Central. Colorado is an hour behind us.

[crewcrazy]

Stay classy, San Diego. Unfortunately, I think Coors will be buzzing after their late-inning win yesterday (and the players were celebrating like they just won the pennant), and the Padres dugout looked extremely down during yesterday's game at The Keg. They've got Peavy going on normal rest, though, so it might only take a few runs to win.

 

A Phillies/Rockies series would definitely be fun to watch in terms of offense, though. I guess I'm just hoping for an exciting game.

[patrickgpe]

i am going to go with the pads too, it would be nice to see brady clark get a chance to play postseason ball, no other reason than that. I do think the ROY angle is as good of a reason as any

[Nearsighted Views]

I've got Colorado all the way in this one. I've always liked the Rockies (I have no idea why). I'll be happy either way. I'm really pumped about this one. Gonna take this over MNF!

[tomwopat]

If Peavy gets the W tonight, it'll count toward the regular season, right?

[jason21nl]

I'm seriously excited for this game. I'm torn who I want to win, rockies are a good story, but Peavy is really fun to watch. I agree with bta, rockies win, MVP and ROY might just go to the rockies boys

[jason21nl]

peavy is being squeezed a bit. the chants of MVP and the ROY talk is annoying.

[ttsather]

Pads Pads Pads, for me.

 

Settle down, Jake!

[thablingster]

That hurts for the Rockies, 4-3 Pads on a salami by Adrian Gonzalez. Josh Fogg is who I thought he was, lol.

[brewerjamie15]

Let's go Padres. That said, these announcers are boring as all get out. They are putting me to sl zzzzzzzzz

[brewerjamie15]

Actually, not a bad game to be watching. Bonus baseball ya know.

[TerraceReserved]

So I geuss Brady Clark still is a terrible centerfielder then. Wow. First a terrible route on a ball that probably would of been caught by others, and then a horendous throw.

[hawing]

On one hand, I am not reeling with shock that Brady's struggling a bit in CF.

 

On the other hand - the thought of Brady Clark's season lasting longer than the Brewers'...that's a little more reel-worthy.

[olsonnet]

LOL at them giving Gonzo a hit instead of charging Tulo with an error on what was clearly an error.

[sdcheezhd]

Hopefully ROY voters see that Tulowitzi should have been charged with an error and that his 3B and 2B should have both been caught.

[Brian the Automator]

MVP, MVP, MVP

[Brian the Automator]

Note to Doug: Trade for Heath Bell.

[DHarris34Phan]

Where do stud relievers like Heath Bell come from? Who is the last relieving stud have we produced from our Minor Leagues?

 

Also, this game is great...probably gonna be a classic finish.
