I Pledge Allegiance…to the Rockies

Along those lines, I’m publicly voicing my support for the Colorado Rockies. I pledge my unwavering fan loyalty to them and them alone as they pursue their postseason quest. I will root them on towards the hopes of a WS birth. Why? Well, why the hell not? The team is young, and they’ve got that lil’ bit o swagger. They remind me of those feisty A’s teams of recently where everybody just seemed to be a ballplayer. They could all hit, run a bit and just flat out knew how to play the game and seemed to have a ton of fun doing it.

These Rockies go about business — particularly since Hurdle headed out of town — with a passion that doesn’t seem to be as predominant as it once was around baseball (and should be). Spilborghs sprinting around those bases seemed a fitting manifestation of what that team is all about. So, go forth Rockies. Go forth and proseper. Because g-d knows I won’t be able to physically tolerate a Yankees-Phillies World Series. Excuse me, just threw up in my mouth a little bit…
