Thank you Rockies!
Go Rockies!

Denver’s Major League baseball team has provided a memorable summer and fall for myself and many other Coloradoans. On Sunday afternoon they put themselves in position for a chance for postseason glory, for the first time in 12 years.
It has been a wild and thrilling ride since June, with the Rockies commanding the best overall record in baseball, after a rough April/May. They topped this by finishing 13-1 over the last 14 games, eeking out a tiebreaker game with the San Diego Padres after the Milwaukee Brewers beat them the past two games.
No matter what happens in this extra game on Monday night, I thank the Rockies for rekindling my interest in baseball and providing numerous memorable nights after the past months. Good luck to Holliday, Helton, Hawpe, Fogg, Tulowitzki and the rest of the team - play well and leave it all on the diamond!
