I was fortunate enough to be at Coors Field for the Rox tie-breaker with the Pads and the closing game against the Phils. The tie-breaker game was by far the most exciting baseball game I have ever attended--maybe the best sporting event I have ever attended. Sudden death game, extra innings, five lead changes, Peavy and Hoffman on the hill for the opposition, lots of home runs, walk-off sac fly on a controversial play at the plate--what more could you ask for?
These "Generation R" kids can play but have flown completely under the radar with this small market club far removed from either coast. They have the best two through six hitters in the game (Tulo, Holliday, Helton, Atkins, Hawpe all of whom had 90+ RBI), speed at the top (Matsui, Taveras) and the best fielding team.
I don't want to jinx them so I best shut my pie hole now. Go Rox!
