Go Colorado Rockies!

If you haven’t heard about the Colorado Rockies run for the ages… one of the all-time greatest winning stretches in ANY sport, then you haven’t been to ESPN.com, watched a sports show in any part of the country, or even read the past few posts of this blog!
Winning 21 of their past 22 games helped the Rockies roar from 4th place in their division to a tenuous wild-card playoff game, on to the playoffs, and then onward to two incredible sweeps in the Division Series and now the National League Series.
With a run like that, what’s left? The World Series!
The Rockies will now wait to see who survives in the American League, and will face either the Boston Red Sox or the Cleveland Indians. It has been an amazing, joyous run thru the postseason so far, something baseball fans in Colorado had had to wait 12 long years for.
Congrats to the Colorado Rockies, and bring on the World Series! Helton, Holliday, Tulo, Francis, Fuentes, Corpas and the rest of the boys will be ready!
