T-minus six hours, and I am a jumping, twitching, sick-with-nerves wreck. Can't eat, could barely sleep (I got about 4 hours, partly because of being too amped to lie down, and partly because some idiots with mowers decided 7:45 AM was the perfect time to do landscaping outside my window). Nervous as hell, already wearing my Rockies shirt, jacket, and necklace, with jersey and hat to be added at gametime. I'll be watching that with my friend Nick, and I'm pretty sure I'll have a coronary before it's over. I need to get off the Internet and stop reading about it; I know what it is, what is at stake, and I want it more than I've wanted anything, which is saying a lot. The Rockies are playing baseball in October but they need one more win, albeit off Jake Peavy with Josh Fogg up against him, in front of a sold-out, amped, raucous crowd that has the purple fever and just won't stop believin', to really play baseball in October. This is the third shot for the Padres, and the Rockies have been lawn-mowing everything in the way. Peavy may be pitching, but I think we still have the advantage.
I believe they will do it. I am dead set they will. That doesn't stop me from dying along the way.
GO ROCKIES!!!!!!!!!!
Where I write on anything of interest to baseball, especially my beloved Colorado Rockies. There are lots of other teams if you go back looking, but this is pro-black-and-purple. Pardon me if real life creeps in occasionally, as, although it is a surprise to me as well, I do have one.... Facebook me! Also check out my football blog: Gang Gridiron.
