Too many men left on base
Well the Rockies battled hard, but left too many men on base and didn’t get the timely hits.
The crowd was ready to go wild, but it didn’t happen.
I don’t know why the Diamondbacks were jumping around behind second base after the game. With the Padres winning, they can’t clinch until tomorrow at the earliest.
Roxs need to win the next two and hope the Padres lose both.
Go Roxs.
Getting Closer
The game is getting tighter. We just got through the eighth and the Rockies scored a run to make it 4-2.
But they left runners at first and third. They need some more offense and keep the Diamondbacks from scoring.
Go Rockies!

Through four innings…
Well we are through four innings and it is not looking real good right now. They have been able to get runners on, but only one run across theplate.
They need the key hits right now.
Tulo just made a wonderful play, so let’s hope the defense can keep it close.
Go Roxs!

Game is on
Well the game is on and the crowd is electric. The bullpen staff got cheered as they were walking out and Francis was cheered walking in.
Francis sent the Diamondbacks down 1-2-3. It is going to be fun.
Go Roxs!
Even the bunting is out for the series
Trying to find a place to park, but saw into the stadium and they have the bunting out for the games this weekend.
I have never seen traffic this bad getting to a game. It is going to be fun.
Go Roxs!
On the way to game…
Traffic is real crazy, so I am taking the side streets. Just heard that parking is crazy around the stadium, so will have to walk farther.
Should be fun with the kids.
Go Roxs!
Let the fun begin – Go Rockies
It is 2.5 hours until the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks go head-to-head for the first of a three game series that will determine who makes the playoffs.
This game is going to be fun and the city of Denver is ready for it. The game is anticipated to be a sell-out and there will be a lot of energy.
I was watching Around the Horn on ESPN this afternoon and none of the pundits are giving the Rockies any chance of pulling this out. I think that is how it has been all year. They have been completely ignored as they have fought through this season.
I think that a lot of people will be suprised by the Rockies after this weekend is over.
It is going to be a fun evening. I will be blogging from the game and so keep checking back for photos and thoughts as the game goes on.
Go Rockies!
