**Breaking News** Rockies concede World Series to Red Sox
"It has been a long and tiring seven months and we wanted to respect our supporters," said the team spokesman, "but we finally concluded that losing all four games ruined our chances of being the champions. We want our supporters to visit coloradorockies.com and share your thoughts with us and help in any way that you can."

9. Read the OP dumbass
It was about Rockies vs Red Sox

The Sox have 100 years worth of fans

The Rockies have only been around a few years.

This is her new legacy. The Clinton name is a joke and may never recover.

6. They won all the big, important games in the playoffs
It was only the pundits that decided that those last four were somehow more meaningful.

19. Nice one.

Perhaps a better comparison would be this: The 100 m dash at the Olympics was just completed. We know who won, but we're waiting for the mandatory urinalysis to verify that all competitors were clean. The odds that the champion will be stripped of his medal? Oh, about 1 in 1000. Ain't likely.
