The crisp wind of change means the beginning of football season and the end of the regular season in baseball. Teams in both leagues throughout the country are keeping busy with the pennant race and fans are sitting on the edge of their seats wondering if they need to buy playoff tickets this year. The Colorado Rockies are no different as the team in the thin mountain air turns it on down the stretch in hopes of picking up the top spot in the National League West or the wild card spot.

The Rockies have had some success in their limited time in the majors. They have managed to pick up that desperate wild card spot in just their second year, giving everyone in Denver a chance to get a taste of what playoff tickets have to bring. Colorado also managed to make an improbable run in 2007 worthy of the Miracle Mets from 1969.
The club started the month of September three games above .500 and well out of the playoff speculation. The team, with an improbable run of great pitching that has rarely been sustained in Coors Field, went 20-8 and finished with their best record ever, 90-73. The record did not win them the division, but it snuck them in with the wild card. Rockies fans scrambled for playoff tickets as the unseen run continued into the playoffs.
Underdogs against every team they faced, their pitching held the Phillies bats in check and swept the NLDS. The teams won four more in a row against their division foes, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Nobody could have guessed that Colorado would go this far and all of the sudden people were searching for World Series tickets against the Boston Red Sox. In a century marked by teams of destiny, the Rockies luck ran out and they dropped four straight to the heavily favored Red Sox.
The Rockies hope to regain some of that luck and some of that pitching from last season as the ERAs have again ballooned and forced the games to be decided by who has the bigger bats. Aaron Cook and Urbina Jimenez need to review the tapes from last season and regain their form. If they do not then how far the playoff tickets go will depend on the prolific bats of Matt Holiday, Garrett Atkins, and Brad Hawpe.
The Ticket Specialists will have the tickets to see the playoff action and the bats this season. The prolific cheap tickets and the ridiculous inventory ensure that every fan of the Colorado Rockies will be able to find a see to see a game on the postseason schedule if they really want to. Just compare the seating chart to the tickets available and find your seat to enjoy the baseball playoffs.
