"We're not done yet. we're gonna keep it going."- Todd Helton, Rockies first baseman
You've read all the stories. They're now 21 of 22 games since near the end of the regular season. Beat the Padres in a one-game playoff. Swept the Phillies. And now the Diamondbacks. The Colorado Rockies are going to the World Series.
My true joy though, is watching Eric Byrnes come up in the top of the 9th, 2 outs, and a chance to come back from a 6-4 deficit with a guy on second. After all the trash talking he'd been doing, if anyone who had gone 0-for-3 in his potential last game of the season would try to redeem themselves, it would be him.
Then again, I gave a chuckle when I saw this way-too-late slide.
Put up or shut up Byrnes. You've got all winter to think about that. And to think I had him on my fantasy league. Such classless behavior is usually suited for just the Yankees.
