What’s the saying? Nothing ventured, nothing gained? Well, the Rockies aced the ‘nothing gained’ part. After Boston sweeps the World Series, Gregg Doyel says Colorado would’ve been better off losing the NLCS.

After Boston wins Game 3, you can look ahead a day or two and assume the
Red Sox will win the World Series. But only after years pass and you look
back at this team will you realize how great it truly is, Gregg Doyel says.

Is he Todd Helton, future Hall of Famer, or flawed Helton, another product
of Coors Field? The first baseman could help his cause by sparking a Rockies
rally in the World Series. No pressure, though, Gregg Doyel says.

October snow is unusual; The Rockies in the World Series is plain unheard of. The magical bunch deserves its ticket to the Fall Classic, despite the fact that Arizona bumbled away plenty of chances in the NLCS, Gregg Doyel says.

The Rockies receive a big blast from unlikely power hitter Yorvit Torrealba
to move to the brink of an NLCS sweep with a 4-1 victory in Game 3. Step
aside Arizona, Gregg Doyel says. Colorado is too hot to be messing with.

While Colorado keeps winning, Arizona keeps losin’ — its temper, not just
the second game of the series. The Rockies are finding every way to advance
to while the Diamondbacks keep making bone-headed plays, Gregg Doyel says.

It may only be Game 1, but it’s over Gregg Doyel says after Colorado’s Jeff
Francis defeats Arizona’s Brandon Webb in a 5-1 victory in the NLCS opener.
With Ubaldo Jimenez on deck and Games 3 and 4 in Denver, forget about it.

Colorado is superior to Arizona — except at staff ace, where Brandon Webb is the NLCS trump card. Well, he would be if Bob Melvin would start the ‘06 Cy Young three times. Enjoy the World Series Rockies, Gregg Doyel says.

Don’t let George Steinbrenner’s failing health soften you to his worthiness of induction into the Hall of Fame. Neither courageous nor excellent, the exploitative Steinbrenner has no place alongside Branch Rickey or Bill Veeck, Gregg Doyel says.

Does Barry Bonds’ presence in the baseball record book sully the whole darn thing?
Actually, he fits right in, Gregg Doyel says. Need proof? Need we remind you about
Pete Rose? Ty Cobb? Mark McGwire?
