Rocktober has arrived!!

The Rockies finished off the Phillies 2 to 1 last night. Once again the Phillies' bats went cold, and once again the Rockies got a win — this one propelling us into the NLCS. Colorado finished off an NLDS sweep last night. It was windy all day long, but it didn't seem to affect anything in the game. There weren't too many hits. Nevertheless, there was good reason to celebrate.

Todd Helton got his bat sawed off last night. I don't know who it hit in the stands last night, but I sure would've ducked. He launched it into at least row 12 or 13.

Now it's on to face the Arizona Diamondbacks. Many of you may not know this, but my long time friend Craig is from Scottsdale and is a D'back fan. No doubt there will be some conversations (debate) and some guesses (wagers) as to who will win. So far this year, the Rockies have won10 out of 18 against the D'backs, and we have a better batting average and a better Team ERA. The problem is we're in the NLCS now. Anything can happen. At the end of the day, we're just ecstatic to be where we are. Last year, the season was over in July.

This will be a good series to watch. Both teams are young, but motivated. Good luck! I'll be cheering for the D-backs!
