Go Rockies

One of the things I like to do is go see the Rockies play. I’ve only been to three games this season and it’s sad that I haven’t been to more games, but due to working on the weekends it doesn’t allow me to go spend time with the Rockies sipping beer and eating peanuts.

The last Rockies game was against the Giants and sadly we got our butt kicked by the Giants. We didn’t make one run. The Giants were hitting the ball out in the outfield and the Rockies were striking out every time they came to the plate. It was not a good night for us.

However, I couldn’t tear myself away from the TV today and wished I was at the game. The Rockies whipped the Giants asses. Is that a word asses? Anyway, I was tired as hell and should have taken a nap, but instead I was glued to the television. In my tired state I have no brain power to work on my book, but instead I’m writing blogs.

Anyway, the Rockies won 6-1 with Gonzalez whacking the ball out of the park not once, but twice! Tulo hit the ball way out of the park right after Gonzalez. Mora took a fastball pitch to the knee. OW! I cringed when I saw that happen.

I saw them annihilate the Cubs 17-2. We ended up sweeping the Cubbies and it was fun to actually see the Rockies win a game. It was freezing, yes, in July it was cold as hell at the game, but that’s Colorado for you. But it was nice to get a break from the heat.

The first game I saw this season was against the Red Sox and we didn’t win. Sniff. It was sad to see the Rockies lose and I think I had four beers to drown my sorrow.

Jimenez, Fowler and Hawpe are becoming my favorite players along with Helton, but Helton’s our only franchise player and the only Rockie left from the days of Larry Walker. Dexter Fowler made an incredible catch when we played against the Cubs and injured himself. When I saw him hit the wall and his hand hit the bar, yeah, ouch.

There was a rumor that Matsui was coming back to the Rockies, but I haven’t seen him yet. I’m wondering what happen with Matsui. I’m not sure if the Rockies will play the Cardinals again, but if they do and it’s here we want to go and see Holliday. He’s very much missed and it was sad that he got traded.

Will the Rockies make it into the Playoffs this year?
