Wow! There are still a few baseball fans out there. Ever since the Monfords and O Dowd starting to trade away the core of the team to line their pockets or whatever- the Rockies used to sell out the park. Heck, they used to sell out Mile High Stadium in the beginning! That's about 75 to 77 thousand people!

We owe thanks to the Giants. They came down the stretch and helped the Rockies surpass the Dodgers and get even with the Padres. I'd hate to see the Rockies go up against the Cubs for just that reason. The Cubs need to get into this thing and win it themselves. I was rooting for BASTIN once they got to like two wins in a row against the Yanks.

Hey, come to think of it! Remember when the Red Sockies came back from an 0-3 deficit to beat the Yanks? How could you not? This is the most incredible thing that's happened in baseball since that, so the mere fact of that should drive the Rockies to a win, right?

Attention TV network execs! The purist baseball fan could care less about TV ratings. The Rockies are playing with pride, confidence, and no fear. Their payroll is only a third less than the hoity toity teams in baseball. And this club plays like a T-E-A-M.Whether it will be Cleveland or Boston, this will be ONE GREAT SERIES. GO ROCKIES!!!!!!!

Default To the tune of INTO THE VOID by Black Sabbath - remixed

BLACK AND PURPLE SABBATH

YOU ARE NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!! THAT'S RIGHT YOU ARE!!!!!!!!

Da da da da da DAT da da, da da...

Rockies gonna burn you bad...
Rockies gonna TORCH the New England Sky...
Rockies gonna PUNCH a HOLE into the Green Monster...

Manny's got early one-way tickets to Pembroke Pines...
Rockies gonna play "Good Times" for you...
Every day I need a ounce and a half . . . take a blunt, just to ease the pain . . . I get high, high, high
Manny just being Manny...

In Colorado Youkilis or Ortiz is going to have to sit. Papi gonna play like a slug with a Mitt!
When they last played, the Rockies' ERA was 43 points higher than the league average. The second half of the season, the Rockies led the NL in ERA.
Sox are filled with veteran players known by all, Rox are loaded with good young players everyone WILL soon know


Find another world where victory waits...
Past the stars in Fields of Coors Field void...
Through the pitches of darkness where they find...
Bombs upon a land of a World Series unknown...
Where Ballers of Victory they make their home...
Leave the Earth and into the Stands...

Rockies gonna burn you bad...
Rockies gonna TORCH the New England Sky...
Rockies gonna PUNCH a HOLE into the Green Monster...

Beer neer neer..
Bah dah da dah..
Do do do DO, do do do do DO, Bah da da,

And they came to Fenway in June and took two out of three from the Red Sox, outscoring them, 20-5. They hammered Beckett, and they hammered Schilling. Coming to Fenway for the first time can be intimidating for a young team, but this team wasn't in awe when it went in there

True that! If you ever get to Golden and don't mind tossing back a beer, take the short tour and try a Killian's Red fresh from the tap!

I like Henry Weinhard's rootbeer myself!

Let's go Rockies!!

Ok - I have to admit and I"m sure I'll be frowned upon....I'm a Yankee's fan, but since the Indians took them out (they did good!)

And - since Boston is not a team I care for..

I'm jumping this bandwagon hard and fast!!!!

Let's go Rockies!!!!!!!!!

Did someone say Rockies Bandwagon?

Goals;

1. Overtake the Dodgers and win division
2. Get healthy and see what Giambi and Ortiz can do.
3. Don't ever ever go 14 innings to win a home series again
4. ??
