My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Live-Blogging the 9th

By the way, for those of you who don't know . . . THAT is why Brian Fuentes is no longer the closer. Even when he was successfully closing out games, they were always adventures.

Salazar up: piece of cake--Helton doesn't blow those and a nice pitch by Corpas

Young up: why the hell is Atkins . . . check that, Carroll . . . playing so far off the line? I thought you tried to cut off the extra bases late in the game. WHOOPS! Now we gotta see Eric Byrnes.

Drew up: WHOOPS! heh heh heh! What are you doing swinging at 3-0? Thank you, thank you, thank you. Heh Heh Heh!

Byrnes up: Nice pitch. YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! ROCKIES WIN THE PENNANT!! ROCKIES WIN THE PENNANT!! ROCKIES WIN THE PENNANT!!
THIS time Carroll makes the smart play and lets Tulowitzki make the play.

YYYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

From somebody who remembers whooping and hollerin' about the old Denver Bears winning the AAA pennant, and the Denver Zephyrs winning a July 4th game with a 9-run 9th inning, you just cannot imagine how awesome this is. I love football, basketball and hockey, but I've played baseball, I've coached baseball, and there is NOTHING as cool as winning a pennant in the Mile High City.

And to do it with a 21-1 run, two sweeps through the Division and League Championship Series . . . It doesn't get much better than this!

And now . . . nine days off before facing the Cleveland Indians.

Let's just say . . . I like the history of Denver teams facing Cleveland teams in championship games.

Hugh . . . care to venture a friendly wager?
