Rockies vs. Padres

Wow,

Here are my rambling thoughts on the demoralizing Rockies performance this evening...

The power went out at the 8549 Club right before Gonzales hit the grand slam. Would that be considered karma? At least the clam chowdah was still hot. And delicious.

The chants of M.V.P. for Holiday were a little early, don't ya think? That kind of stuff is so bush league. He hasn't won anything, bandwagon Rockies fans, and Rollins from Philly has had a fantastic year. So hold your horses.

Did we hear the MVP chants after Matt misjudged a flyball in the 8th and then went 0-3 in extra innings? Nah, I didn't think so.

It was just so frustrating watching the extra innings. You knew the San Diego had stud relievers just waiting to come in and shut it down, (T. Hoffman) and you saw the Rox relievers just gutting it out inning by inning. And the vaunted Rockies offense? Nothing, nada, nil. It was excruciating to witness. This team kills me sometime.

So, in the bottom of the 13th, we had a little rally, tied the game even. Will it pan out? Stay tuned....

And Holliday slides in head first (which you should NEVER do to home plate) and he missed the plate!! He missed the freaking' plate, it's as plain as day. Holy sh**! And that horrible umpire McClelland calls him safe??!! Are you serious?? Game over, I guarantee this will argued about for a few days by the SoCal talking heads, in-between fish taco hour and surfing updates on San Diego talk radio. Until the Chargers lose again.

Now they are giving Holliday "player of the game"? Are you serious, did those voters even watch the game? Or did the power go out at their house too? What about the Rox bullpen, they kept them in the game!

Well, see you Saturday night, as Beth just told me we got tickets. I'm gonna attend my first play-off game ever! Rox win, and I had total faith in them!! :)
