This should be fun thread as this is becoming more and more regular. The real key to avoiding home series' sweeps is Friday night games, because Saturday's and Sunday's are just about a done deal.

And yet there was appox. 37,000 at both day games over the weekend. There was still a very large crowd in the bottom of the ninth yesterday.

And that is why you will never see the Rockies fire O'Dowd. Colorado doesn't have baseball fans, it has Rockie fans. They have money, don't know a base hit from a foul ball, but just enjoy a day at the park. Granted many of those fans were Angel fans also. But until fans quit showing up you will see and hear the same old script. I don't know how bad it has to be before fans quit coming. You are slowly seeing a trend that follows the "Lovable Losable Cubs." Fans just don't care.

"You are slowly seeing a trend that follows the "Lovable Losable Cubs." Fans just don't care."

My thoughts exactly! Perhaps we are flawed because we don't simply enjoy the game; win or lose. Seems that tens of thousands want to go to Coors to see baseball and don't care one way or another as to the outcome of the game. These fans probably have no idea that they are witnessing the worst pitching staff in all of baseball and a team that loses roughly twince as many games as they win - and they are fine with not knowing...

The Rockies went to the world series in 07,the playoffs in 09. Were very close in 10. Have suc ked for the last year in 1/2. When was the last time the Cubs made the playoffs? I guess if you love baseball you watch it. If you want to switch teams for only a winner than you can do that. I won't root against the Rox ever so I am now a casual Rangers fan. Because I like that team and they're in the AL so what the heck.

"And that is why you will never see the Rockies fire O'Dowd. Colorado doesn't have baseball fans, it has Rockie fans. They have money, don't know a base hit from a foul ball, but just enjoy a day at the park"

That is funny coming from you "WR" the biggest homey of all of us. I am a homey, don't have a bunch of money an definately know the difference between a foul ball and a base hit. Look I'm just a Rockies fan and will continue to be one and hope for the best.

Let me clarify my thoughts. 1.The Rockies were lucky in '07. They won something like 21 out of 22 games in September and got help from the Padres in MIRACLE FASHION. Those of you that knew me as "winrockies" know I used to hammer the giants for lucking into winning their last WS. I still contend they were lucky. I can say the same about the Rocks. They were lucky. 2. They backed into the playoffs in '09. Dan O'Dowd has been the GM for 13 years. The same time a kid goes from first grade to High School graduation and the first year in college......and O'Dowd has not delivered a team to win the division under his watch. How many years does he get. History is repeating itself. He took over a team that had no pitching and couldn't win on the road. 13 YEARS LATER WE STILL HAVE NO PITCHING AND CANNOT WIN ON THE ROAD OR AT HOME. When you perform as miserable as they have and you have +30,000 fans show up for a weekend game; the fans don't care or they don't have a clue. The Rockies PAYING FAN BASE HAS THE MENTALITY OF CUBS FANS. Do you think for one minute the Monforts will look to improve with 2 million still showing up every season? No. The only difference between the Cubs and Rockies is the Cubs have been around alot longer and fans there have accepted mediocrity, years ago. The Rockies are not far behind.

I will admit I have harped and stood by these guys for years thru thick and thin. Like a marathon runner, running out of gas, I have ran my course. I am sick of O'Dowd, his message and everything he stands for. I get more sick of anybody that will support him.

There is always plenty of room on the Yankees bandwagon. Colorado is home and the Rox are my team so call me stupid.

The points made accurately above reflect why I consider it utterly useless to entertain any sort of discussion of a fan boycott. It just isn't going to happen. I, for one, will not stop going to games at Coors Field because I simply enjoy baseball too much and I don't think anyone has any business suggesting I deprive myself of that. We have cutback considerably on the number of games we have gone to the past 2 seasons because of our dissatisfaction, but it hasn't affected the number of people going to games. Even if everyone on this board actually stopped going it wouldn't be a patch on a ripple.

Seriously there are what 10 of us that post here regularly. Other fans I meet at the game don't even know the site exists. I sit around several mini plan holders and a few season ticket holders. They are all Rockies fans regardless. Yes we all gripe but are still there in our purple. And speaking of that thank goodness they wised up and started handing out purple shirts instead of white, but I digress.

One last point and I'll stop bloviating. As I've mentioned I grew up in Brooklyn N.Y. a Mets fan. As a kid we loved the Met's regardless of what they did. But, the fan base in N.Y. is brutal and if you don't perform they hate you. I don't want to be that kind of city or that kind of fan. Frustrating as it is it's still just a ball game. For those of us that have it in our heart and DNA make up we love it. We take the good with the bad and as you have said Saturn it makes the good that much better. I'm done. Go Rockies.

I wouldn't say the Giants were "lucky" in winning their world series - did we watch the same series?

The Giants were HOT. Pitchers dominant. The real 2010 postseason for the Giants was against the Braves and Phillies. Very hard fought matches. The world series was boring. Texas was gassed. Giants were still riding high.

There's a certain amount of luck involved in anything, especially with baseball. But, in the case of 2010 postseason it was because the Giants were hot and had amazing pitching to silence opponents' offense.

Nuff said.

They weren't even the best team in the division that year. If they play the Texas Rangers a week later they get scalded. The Rangers were just in awe of being there. They were lucky. They won. Enjoy it. I have beat this dead horse enough already as Winrockies. I won't waste another post on the giants or their fans. Reply if you want but my last word: They were as lucky as the Rockies in '07. Bye.
