Rockies win a wild one, win 18-17

The Colorado Rockies won a wild one and had fireworks before the fireworks show at Coors Field tonight.  They came from 9 runs down to beat the Florida Marlins 18-17.
This was an amazing game.  The Rockies were down 7-1, 13-5, and 17-12 to win.

Coors Field is known for some crazy games, but this one was just crazy.  The pitching was horrid on both sides, but that might be the offenses were just amazing.  Lodo magic was in full-force.

Let’s hope this will carry the Rockies forward and propel them back into the race to win the NL West.  No other team in the National League West wants to take over.

Go Rockies!

Media Knows Nothing of Rockies and Coors Field

I am watching the TBS coverage of the Rockies-Phillies game tonight and listening to them, it appears that they do not know anything about the Rockies or Coors Field.
They keep calling it a home run ballpark, it is not.  It does not even fall into the top 5.  Citizen’s Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia is number 2 giving up almost three home runs per game.

Also the keep talking about the humidor effect.  Well the humidor is keeping the ball legal.  What they were finding in the dry climate of Colorado, the ball was shrinking out of specifications.  So they put the humidor in the ball is heavier, not as heavy, and within specifications set by Major League Baseball.

So when is the national media and east coast media going to give up the home run hitters ball park shadow that Coors Field has and finally give the Colorado Rockies the credit that they deserve.  Probably never.

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.
