Well I thought the Colorado Rockies were done tonight, but they weren’t.

The Roxs came back with 5 runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Washington Nationals 6-5.

The Rockies needed it tonight and stay in the race.  I think that if they would have lost tonight, it would have been a tough road to make the playoffs.

Hopefully this will break the bad losing streak and send them on a long winning streak.

Go Rockies!

I think some people are over-reacting to things.

Reality television is beyond its time and pretty stupid and this show has gone beyond sensible and reasonable.  But these claims go beyond that of reasonable.  It is just people trying to gain attention.  Nothing more and nothing less.

Umpires Screw the Rockies Against the Dodgers

The umpires sure screwed the Colorado Rockies this evening.  Must be the home cooking in Dodger Stadium.

Matt Holliday hit a drive to the wall in right-center field and it went off the glove of the right fielder, hit the wall, and then was caught.

It should have been a double for Holliday, but the umpires gathered and the home plate umpire, Tim Welke, over-ruled the second-base umpire, Mike Everitt, on the call and called him out.
