Rockies improbable run to the NLDS
| 14
|
by Pickemgenius
An abysmal April,
20 for 27 streak from mid may to June,
followed by a 9 game losing streak.
They had multiple (6) home runs called doubles.
They lost 3 starting pitchers in the last half of the season.
They relied on two rookies and Mark Redman to take those slots.
A 23 year old closer, who took over after all-star Brian Fuentes got hurt.
14 out of the last 15 to finish the season.
A R.O.Y candidate in Troy Tulowitzki
An MVP candidate in Matt Holliday.
An aging Todd Helton, whom everyone wanted to see traded.
That epic 163rd game.
So here's to the true Rockies fans.
The ones who have waited so long.
The ones that watched, and followed throughout the years.
This one is for you.
Here is for the passion.
The sight of Helton finally getting to play meaningful games.
The usual stoic, Helton who rather talks about his team rather then himself celebrating.
A true sight of perseverance.
10 years playing for the Rockies, and no post season.
This one is for you Todd Helton.
Embrace every minute of it.
