How about those Rockies?

It was wonderful being there for the game on Monday night. Unfortunately we had to get back home so my son could get to school at a decent hour. We left at the bottom of the 12th inning.

The electricity on the stands was incredible. When you have 48 thousand plus fans yelling at the top of their longs for their team to win it makes you feel alive.

We lucked out getting tickets for the 7th in history tie breaker game. We ended up sitting way, way at the top, but even from up there the view was great. 

It was wonderful to see Matt Holliday get the top hitter and top RBI spot. It was great to see Troy Tulowitzki do its magic. It was sad not being able to see Todd Helton connect for a home run from the 9th inning on. It would had been great and well deserved to see him win the game. But you know what, it was a team effort and a lot of people pulled it off, not just one person.

There were many disappointed moments. The biggest one being the ball that hit the top of the back fence and it was called a double. Now, I didn’t see the replay so I can’t say by my own eyes that it was a home run, but I gathered from what I hear it was a home run. They had 6 umps on the field. One of them should had been able to see it right. Now what they played over and over was the last run scored. Did Matt Holliday touch the bag? Darn right he did. And if he didn’t then the other play was for sure a home run.

Anyway, today will be the first game of the playoff. I hope they do as well.
