Last night, the Colorado Rockies beat the San Fransisco (*wrist flick*) Giants as OF Ryan Spilborghs hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 14th inning. The granny cam after an inning in which the Giants had hit their way to to what seemed to be a insurmountable 4-1 lead. Perhaps a bit of poetic justice as well, as Spilborghs blew a great opportunity in the 10th where he grounded into a double play with a baserunner on third. Additionally, he had a fielding error in the 14th that lead to a Giants triple in what looked like a winning rally. You would have noticed the weight of the world falling off his shoulders while he flew around the bases looking like the white Usain Bolt.
I've been watching Rockies baseball for quite some time, and between this team an the 07 team, the Rockies are starting to establish themselves as a team with great resolve. We're one of the best young teams in baseball and its really a pleasure to see how much this thing turned around after a horrendous start. Salute Manager of the Year, Jim Tracy. The celebration can only last but so long, as the first place Dodgers are in town. Followed immediately by another series with the Giants, this time in San Francisco (*wrist flick*).
