Headache in a Suitcase said:
the rockies are a glorified triple A team...
they may be a triple A team, but they're a triple A team with heart, desire, and a will to win, which is more than we could ever say about most of the blake street bomber teams.
they even overcame their own bullpen today, which is a tremendous feat all by itself. but then went on to rock trevor hoffman for four runs in the ninth.
aaron (i can see for) miles went 5-6 with three triples. jeff baker hit a homer in his first major league at bat. clint barmes hit the game winning home-run. i predict the rockies to compete in the nl west this season.
and while i'm making predictions about teams based on their openers
, how bout them red sox!
EDIT TO ADD:there were also some u2 related events...a trivia question was: what is the number one single playing right now? (it was with or without you) what year was it released? (1987 of course) and who was the nl rookie of the year in 1987? (benito santiago)
also, in the bottom of the ninth, after the first out of the inning, elevation was played (which i learned last year was their good luck rally song) and i turned to thefly7 and said, "hey, this is their good luck rally song" and they quickly scored four runs and won. also i had my lucky colorado eagles hat and lucky switchfoot shirt on (every little bit helps with the rockies).
