See Red Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nice 'leading by example', Byrnes. Now we have to watch his comedy segments during the World Series.Yep. He did a lot of talking and he didn't back up any of it. Fitting that he made the final out.Tulowitzki's got an absolute cannon -- combine that with his range and the guy takes away so many hits.

Squeaks4 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nice 'leading by example', Byrnes. Now we have to watch his comedy segments during the World Series.What is that even supposed to mean? Talk about people over reacting from a few simple statements. He has already said he, in no way, made those statements to take anything away from or to, in any way, talk bad about the Rockies. He just felt his team had gotten the bad luck on many of the things that went down during the first few games and didn't believe they were being out-played as much as the score and series would lead people to believe. Is that really such a bad thing to say?Believe what you want, but I have watched Byrnes all year, and years prior, and he is nothing but a class act.Beyond that though, what a terrible terrible series for the Diamondbacks. Like I said earlier in this thread I have not seen this team play this bad all season. Really a bad time to put on a lackluster effort.However, all congrats from a Diamondback fan here goes to the Rockies. They really came to play just at the right time. While I am not sure how they are going to do in the World Series, I will be rooting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like someone making excuses and trying to take away from the other team for me. Tonight he said he was going to lead by example... 0-4 including the final out on a check swing... he deserves any criticism he gets.Come on, Monfort... the Rockies fans aren't the "best fans in the world"... a month ago they were still pretending the team didn't exist.

HedleyLamarr Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hey, shut up! Ernie Johnson from TBS has the mic.I'm glad to see Ernie Jr's doing so well.The Colorado Rockies in the World Series....damn, that's strange as hell. It was just last year that Clint Hurdle would bounce a baseball up and down the dugout throughout the game, and got some heat for not getting the Rockies to playing meaningful games in September.Baseball is a funny game.

Tonight he said he was going to lead by example... 0-4 including the final out on a check swing... he deserves any criticism he gets.Ok, so he believes they outplayed and gotten the shaft on a few calls...and? That is how he feels. He was asked about HIS team. Not about why the Rockies were winning. He was asked why HIS team was in the position they were in. He also went on to say that he meant to take nothing away from the Rockies. So tell me, if he intentionally was trying to bash the Rockies and take away from what they had done, why would he go on to say that the Rockies had done a great job so far and had the hits when it counted?Oh, and he said he was going to lead by example. I am sure he wasn't trying to get hits or anything. I mean, by simply saying you are going to lead by example means you are going to go 4-4 with 2 grand slams. In reality I saw Byrnes hustling his butt off all night. In fact, much of the struggles he had tonight had to do with him being too eager to help out his team with a huge hit. I also saw Byrnes hustle his and lay out his body into first trying to keep the inning alive. What a chump.If you want to label Byrnes as the bad boogie man so you can feel ever better about your win because you were able to shut him up, then by all means do so. But I have seen and heard from Byrnes all year and he is NOTHING but a class act. You can make your judgment on the man by a comment that wasn't a negative comment towards your team to begin with and label him as a chump, but to do so would be an idiotic move in my book.But regardless, congrats to the Rockies. Sorry we had that ugly scene here in Phoenix the other night and sorry one of our teammates tries to stick up for his team. Good luck in the World Series Rockies.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have no idea who Byrnes is, and I'm feeling a bit left out. I'm sure YouTube will provide the answers soon enough.If the Sox get past the Indians, I'm rooting for the Rockies all the way. However, my heart this postseason remains with Cleveland. They (like the Rockies) built their team from the ground up, making a lot of painful decisions in the early 2000's. Plus, like I've said elsewhere, the city of Cleveland needs something to feel good about. Urban decay has hit the once-proud city especially hard, and it would be good for the spirits of the city to have a championship team in something. Ever since 1996, Denver's been pretty spoiled. While it would be nice to a first-time winner out of the Rockies, I'm definitely pulling for Cleveland the rest of the way.And isn't funny how much roles have been reversed in just a few short years? All of a sudden, Cleveland becomes the new sentimental favorite over Boston. Talk about a city that has let success go straight to its head; can you imagine if Denver had been as outrageous and annoying over the Broncos and Avs as Boston has been over the Pats and Sox? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Bummed to see that Byrnes played like such crap. When hes on hes easily the most exciting player in the league to watch, but when hes off its simply dreadful to watch. Been the story of his career really. Rookie season he had a monster first half and just missed the All Star Game, but in the second half he couldn't do a damn thing right. On a lighter note though, congrats to the Rockies on an absolutely magical run. Should be an amazing World Series. Anyone else see this turning out just like last year (Team goes absolutely chaotic in the last few weeks, sits around waiting for their opponent to finish up their series, and gets hammered in the World Series)?

infrared41 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 can you imagine if Denver had been as outrageous and annoying over the Broncos and Avs as Boston has been over the Pats and Sox?It's not possible to be as annoying as Red Sox fans. They "elected" a "president" of Red Sox Nation. How cute. Red Sox fans were simply annoying and whiny before 2004. Since then they're insufferable. Here's a little perspective for Red Sox nation...The Marlins have won more World Series titles since 1993 than The Red Sox have in 90 years. The Diamondbacks have won just as many World Series since 1998 as The Red Sox have in 90 years.The Toronto Blue Jays have won more World Series titles since 1976 than The Sox have in 90 years.

Was there an extended version, only available to you? Because the last game in that movie was against the White Sox in the ALCS......yeah. That's right.
