History made

Yesterday, the Rockies made history. They swept the Cardinals in a 4 game series for the first time in franchise history. I would say that pretty amazing judging by the horrible season for the Rockies so far. Jason Marquis with his 8th win makes him the first in the NL to get to 8 wins. Never thought I would say that about any Rockies pitcher. Now if only Jimenez and Cook could pitch like they’re suppose to, the Rockies could be in a pretty good place right now. Also, the Rockies are no longer in the basement of the NL west! Arizona lost and now falls to last place in the division. We can’t get ahead of ourselves. The Rockies are still 13 games back of the Dodgers who seem to win even without Manny. Oh, its only June 9th, we are far from September.


Could anything happen? Yea, sure. Even last night watching local sports in Colorado Springs, the genius anchors keep mentioning Rocktober and it makes me wanna rip my hair out. Why is it when the Rockies go on a winning streak now, were all of a sudden in the hint for the playoffs, sorry we’re not. The Colorado Springs sports anchors are garbage in the first place and have no idea what they are talking about most of the time, so I have to let them slide. “It’s okay, you’re a Colorado Springs freaking sports anchor, you don’t count.” So yeah, we have won 5 in a row, congratulations Rocktober bandwagon fans (and I know there are still some of you idiots out there), most teams in baseball will at least have a 5 game winning streak during the season. Real baseball fans know this, but now I’m speaking to bandwagon fan. Keep the noise down, stop talking, go back to the basement and keep managing your last place fantasy baseball team you got into last year after the Rockies went to the World Series and you thought you knew something about baseball.


The Rockies are only doing what they are suppose to. Win games against good teams. They have the pitching and hitting to do it as we have seen. The key is to stay consistent and win series. We’re not going to sweep everyone and they are not expected to go on a run at the end of the season. They need to play a FULL season of good baseball. I don’t know about you, but I would rather have a full season of contention opposed to some miracle fluke. That’s just me though.


Go Rockies
