The Rockies have taken a huge 3-0 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Championship Series. And if that wasn’t good enough, all four runs the Rockies scored came via homeruns that sailed directly over the head of leftfielder Eric Byrnes, who a day earlier, just couldn’t keep his big mouth shut.
Here’s a fact: In MLB history, 29 teams have lost the first three games of a seven-game series. 23 of those teams went on to get swept by losing Game 4 and just one of those teams has come back to take the series by winning the following four games.
So yeah, this series isn’t over yet. But the 2007 Diamondbacks are certainly not the 2004 Red Sox.
Oh, and for the record, Byrnes turned in a spectacular 0-4 performance in Game 3, grounding into a double-play and weakly popping out two times. Yeah, you sure showed ‘em, Eric.
