Rockies?

A month ago I would not have guessed the Colorado Rockies would be the NL pennant winner and World Series Opponent. As of this writing they have won
21 of 22 games. That will always get you far.

For the record, we do not have season tickets for the Rockies. They were one of the teams that seemed mired in mediocrity that would not rise.
There were several things about them that seemed to keep the team down

• High altitude stadium that kept quality pitchers away
• A long line of free agent pitchers who had success else where but not in Denver
• Lackluster attendance several years in a row
• Finishing last in their division in 2006

There is an old saying in baseball when a manger or GM is asked what is needed to win a championship. The answer is “pitching, pitching and more pitching”. After you hear that a few times and see what had been happening in Denver the last few years, one can see why we never invested in them.
It does make us want to put my kids little league baseballs in a humidor though.

At least we have the Indians still. Here is hoping for a seven game series. Also note below that the Rockies World Series Tickets go on sale to the public on Monday.
