I agree - last night, after the game, Matt said that Josh is one of the most respected players in the club house. That means a lot. I also think KazMat should be resigned. His speed alone is hard to replace.

Josh is a bit inconsistent, but without him this season we would be .... well I think you can think of an appropriate word. That Red Sox series, he pitched GREAT. Hurdle says that Josh never stops surprising him. He plays with a lot of passion and for sure has the "ROCKIES SPIRIT" as I like to call it.

KazMat...I would love to see him in a Rockies uni again. Not sure it will happen. If it doesn't Barmes could play 2nd. :end shameless Barmes plug:

GOOOOOOOO ROCKIES

11 !!!!!!

Atkins, Hawpe back to back homers.

Helton putting it away with one himself.

This team is now coming home for the final series of the year against the D-backs.

Forget wild card. We take care of business at home, we could actually get the division.

Oh man! Its in the Rockies hands now folks! I love seeing Helton go yard. I am more nervious then I have ever been in a while! The Broncos have not even gotten me this nervious (OK well in Buffalo I they did). I really don't know what to say, the Rockies have had me speachless for a while! Just got to go out and take care of buisness again!

If any body has ESPN insider there is an article by Buster Olny: Tulowitzki the great! I would love to read it! Last night on Baseball Tonight, the head host can't think of his name at this time was all over Braun. After every highlight he would be like the rookie of the year with the RBI etc.. and Buster kept saying no its Tulo! SO folks people know what is going on and know that this kid can play. Considering Buster is one of the top MLB guys at ESPN!

They are playing very well lately and at just the right time. That should be a good series.

ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Teh Hot Rox be scorching!

Jim Rome just got done saying - "How about them Rocs, I love those Rockies"

This season is one of the most fulfilling things in my life. Ive followed this team since I was a little girl. I have so many memories of them and tied to this team. So many good times at Coors Field...in my living room with my brother going nuts when we win....its just so weird to realize that after all this time something GREAT is happening. I feel so proud to be a fan of this organization, people have put them down for so long now and after standing beside them for so long I can't think of a better reward. Playoffs or no playoffs this team has opened the eyes of those who doubted them.

Thinking back on all these years I get so emotional...I can't even fathom how far this team has come even though I see it happening right in front of me every night. I knew that patience would take this team a long way. We had to get the pieces of the puzzle together and we have finally done it. Never in my life have I been so excited about sports, not even when the Broncos were winning their Super Bowls. There is just something so special about the players, the team and the fans. My brother and I always joke that since the Rockies are the closest team to God geographically that he needs to root for us, but really after these 11 games, it feels like we have something special on our side.

Looking back on these past 2-3 years of Colorado Rockies baseball really is something special. All the good memories I made. Meeting Clint Barmes not one, but TWO times, speaking with Jason Hirsh, getting to know my fellow fans at the park and on the internet, pretending to hate Troy Tulowitzki, the Jennings trade, sweeping the Yankees and the Mets, going to my record high 17 games this season...simply watching the games at home with my brother. This team and the Rockies are so much more to me than a baseball team playing some sport....they have become such a big part of my life and I just love them for that. I know that the bandwagon is starting to get a little full and for once, I am ok with that because I know that I've been here from the beginning and I also realize that this team DESERVES a strong fan base, so CLIMB ON UP people! Root for the Rockies!

Here's to the last series of the year (I'm gonna cry haha). I should have known that the greatest season of Colorado Rockies baseball would come down to a final match up against Eric Byrnes, the notorious Rockies killer. The battle of the century starts tonight at 6:05 Mountain Time, GO ROCKIES!

Great article on ESPN - GOOOOOOOOOOO Rockies

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/powerr...n=2007&week=26

I can't believe we are actually still talking Rockies with 3 games left in the season.

I love it!!!

I also love my Broncos, but as for this weekend...its all about the Rockies around here. For the first time EVER the Broncos have taken a backseat to the Rockies.

GO ROCKIES.

Like I said to Snapp earlier today,

I liked baseball before this year, but the spirit of the Rockies this season has made me LOVE baseball!

What a game. It looks like theyre stretching Webb out a little bit.

Looks like we are going to need some bottom of the ninth heroics tonight. SD and Philly already won tonight. This would be bad if we can't pull this off.
