Rocktober! Rockies Beat the Phillies

It doesn’t get any better than this.
The Colorado Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 tonight to sweep the Phillies and take the National League Division Series.  They now get ready for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night.

The Rockies proved tonight that they are a good team and that they are real.  To show the nation how well they are doing is incredible.  They are erasing a lot of doubts that the pundits were throwing around at the beginning of the series.

All but a couple of pundits predicted the Phillies would win easily.  No one east of the Mississippi knew of the Rockies and thought they would fold.  But they didn’t and are sending a message to baseball.

This is the happiest that I have ever been not to be going to a baseball game.  I had tickets for the game if it went to a fourth game.  But if you can close out a team, you do it and the Rockies did.

Go Rockies!  Beat the Diamondbacks!

Rockies Win, Lead Series 2-0

Source:  ESPN.com

Kaz Matsui hit a grand slam and the Colorado Rockies jumped out to a 2-0 series lead by beating the Philadelphia Phillies 10-5 this afternoon.

It was a great game and the Rockies just keep on hitting and the Phillies are struggling at the plate and on the mound.

One more to go and the Rockies will move on in the playoffs.

Go Rockies!

Eric Young abondons Rockies

Eric Young, an original Rockies player, has abandoned them.  Young is a color analyst for ESPN and says that Jimmy Rollins will win the MVP and the Philadelphia Phillies will beat the Colorado Rockies.
I don’t think that will happen.  Matt Holliday will win the MVP and the Colorado Rockies will beat the Phillies.

Go Rockies!

What an incredible game! Rocktober carries on!

Holliday scores winning run. From the Rocky Mountain NewsPhoto from Rocky Mountain News.

This has to be one of the best baseball games ever. The Rockies never quit and just kept coming.

To come back in the bottom of the 13, down by two, to win against Trevor Hoffman is shows what a great team this is.

Jamey Carroll is a workman who has been a utility man around the league for a while and came up big. Holliday came hard and tagged the plate to win the game. The Rockies are going to be tough to beat in the playoffs. They are coming in with a lot of momentum and will carry it into the playoffs.

Go Rockies!!!!!

It is a wonderful day for a baseball fan

It is a wonderful day for a baseball fan.
There is a wonderful race in the National League.  The Mets are exploding and the Phillies look to be taking the National League East.

Who will win the Wild Card?  Right now the Padres are losing 6-4 and the Rockies are 0-0.  Jimenez is pitching an incredible game, but no runs yet.  The Rockies need to get some runs across.

Go Rockies.

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!
