Up In Here

It's a little ridiculous in Denver today.

For the first time ever, the Colorado Rockies are going to the World Series.  Pretty exciting stuff.  You can, if you were so inclined, click on the "Baseball" category on the bottom left to see all the posts I've done about the Rockies over the season, from when it was just for cheap entertainment, to when they had a chance, to when they were done, and then to when they made the playoffs.  For Anna and I, it's special because we feel like we've been a part of it, having followed them all season.

We're not the stupid angry fans - the ones that get mad at all the bandwagon folks that are hopping on the train.  I think it's great to see the city alive and caring about the team.  It's weird what impact sports have on this town.  This morning I went to a Sports Authority that had opened to sell the overpriced NLCS Champions t-shirts and met a lot of smiling faces in other Rockies fans.  Then while walking into my building, random strangers are even smiling and saying "Go Rockies!"  And all the bandwagon folks buying stuff right now help funnel money into the team to try and keep them together a few more years.  So I say, let's celebrate away!

So in seven days, we play either the Red Sox or the Indians.  Sorry Lins's - I think the Indians would be the more exciting game.  But at this point, I think the Rockies can beat either of them.  Will they?  Dunno.  But they've got just a good a shot as anyone else.
