Lots of storylines for this one. You can try guessing Livan Hernandez's age, or his weight. You could try and list Game 3 starters for playoff teams up 2-0 less imposing than Josh Fogg. You can start speculating as to which long-dead god Clint Hurdle sacrificed his firstborn to in exchange for his sudden powers of divination. You can search for a reason Eric Byrnes' best efforts to prop back up the dying Diamondbacks clubhouse involved his shagging flyballs from the top half of the Rockpile at Coors Field (my guess: Byrnes wanted us all to get used to throws of his not quite making the infield dirt).
Ask yourself as many questions as you want, but seek not a reason for the Rockies' 19-of-20 run. There isn't one.
In the 2000 NLCS, the Mets started Rick Reed up 2-0.
In the 1989 ALCS, the A's started Storm Davis up 2-0.
In the 1987 ALCS, the Twins started Les Straker up 2-0.
So there you have it. Josh Fogg is the Les Straker of the 21st Century.
I doubt it will dissuade the people of Denver from showing up.
DENVER -- Rains cut short Saturday's Colorado Rockies workout at Coors Field and continued off and on through Sunday afternoon, but a possible window in the weather could mean Sunday night's National League Championship Series Game 3 will start as scheduled at 8:37 p.m. ET.
The 80-percent chance of rain forecast by the National Weather Service for the morning and afternoon had been reduced to 40 percent for game time, with a first-pitch forecast of 41 degrees.
The chance of rain is expected to lessen as the night progresses, although winds out of the north are up to 12 mph and could make conditions feel like 35 degrees.
he bounced off apparently
Yes, it is.
Craig Sager only looks a little soggy.
They have six for the series. They had none in Game 2. The four-game record is 8 by the 1974 Dodgers.

Craig Breedlove, The Blue Flame -- this was a big deal back in the day.
You can now return to your regularly scheduled business.
Mark has attended every Rockies home playoff game since 1996.

It's a pretty dramatic pitch.
OUCH!!! Livan wishin it was still 1997!

You can run, but you can't hide. And we'll find you. And we'll make you watch 162 Braves games for your only baseball viewing next year.
Me either.
but i did like caray's use of "military lineup" to refer to the L-R-L-R configuration. he's not good but he's not terrible.
Steiner (old friend of yours) does it all the time, I guess I just don't notice it as much, but yeah I can see how one would have a pet peeve over that.
Man has already walked on the moon.
The Berlin Wall has fallen.
Nixon resigned.
Russia gave up Communism.
What history will we see?
Whew, I was worried that Liechtenstein was going to announce that they had nukes.
doesn't Putin have a straggle hold over there these days?
The Tigers lost one game last year in the first two rounds and the Braves lost one game in the first two rounds in 1995.
