Tonight's game against the Dodgers is a great one to watch. Back and forth they go and the Rockies currently lead 6-5 but could change right now as I type this. You can just feel the playoff atmosphere. The Rockies are 1 game behind the Phillies and Padres right now. The Phillies lost and Padres are losing right now.
Giants > Padres
Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.70 career ERA, but has won just 29 of his 95 starts.
What an incredible story...nobody would have been surprised if the Rockies had simply folded and fell out of contention when the Wild Card looked hopelessly lost. However, they have persevered to within a win of tying it up at the top with a team that nobody expected to be in contention. I would say Matt Holliday has to be the voters' favorite for MVP at this point as the team seems to be peaking at the right time. This is the best baseball Colorado has seen in ages, and this team is no fluke.

I love how people are belittling him for hitting "only" .298 on the road. (with an .854 OPS and 11 HRs) I would have to put him atop my ballot at this point.

I still say the Rockie's chances are slim to none. The Pads are playing the f-n' giants and we have to play LA and finish the dbacks. Chances just aren't in our favor.
Damn it, why can't Roberto Hernandez ****in retire and disappear off the face of the earth already.
I was about to fly out to LA and break the bubble gum chewing tanned creation that is supposed to be passed off as a man because he left Fuentes in. I can't believe it worked out. ****ing fluke.
