Rocktober

So in the past few years I have become extremely superstitious when it comes to baseball.  There was one time this summer when I missed a few games in a row because of work and the Giants won both games so I decided that I couldn’t watch another game until they lost. They won eight in a row!  I know, I know, it’s a bit presumptuous to think that the actions of little ol’ me had anything to do with that winning streak but a girl can dream can’t she?  Anyway, the whole point of this is that I was putting off writing a post about the Rockies in fear of jinxing them.  It looks like that didn’t really work.  I knew it was going to be really hard for them to beat the Sox, especially after having eight days off but I didn’t think they would get swept.  I thought for sure they would get at least one in Colorado but I guess it just wasn’t in the cards for them.  But you know what?  When I look back at the 2007 post season the team that I will always remember is the Rockies. If someone would have told me at the beginning of the season, **** in August, that the Rockies would be in the World Series I would have told them they were crazy.  I went to two Rockies/Giants games over Memorial Day weekend this year and the Rockies were in last place and then I went to another Rockies/Giants game in September and they were in third place and closing in on second, it was like watching a new team.  I don’t care what anyone says, the end of the ’07 season was all about the Rockies. For them to go 21-1 and make it to the World Series is simply amazing. I will forever remember October of 2007 as “Rocktober.”
