And the Rockies are in!

I stayed up too late watching the conclusion of the Rockies-Padres game last night, as I’m sure most of Denver did as well. In the top of the 13th inning, after being tied 6-6 for several innings, the Padres went up 8-6 on a homerun by Hairston. The Rockies had some catching up to do to say the least. In the end, Kaz Matsui, Troy Tulowitzki (who is a big fan of my favorite player, Derek Jeter), and Matt Holliday (on a controversial slide into home plate where he might not have actually ever touched the plate) won the game for the Rockies. It’s the first time since 1995 that the Rockies have made it to the playoffs and only the second time in the team’s history. Go Rocks (until you have to play the Yanks, anyway)!
