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!

Rockies Win 9-7

The Colorado Rockies won tonight beating the Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 9-7.

With the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies losing tonight, the Rockies gained ground on them.  But the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen blew it in the ninth inning and gave up a three-run home run to lose to the San Diego Padres by two.

The Rockies are now three games back of the Diamondbacks and one game back of the Padres in the Wild Card Race.  They are now tied with the Phillies.

Five games to go and they are still in this race.  Go Rockies!!!!!
