Congrats all on a great year!

World Series Game 4 - Denver, Colorado

The Sox came in and clobbered the Rocks over the head with all of those brooms that were lying around at Coors Field. Two blowouts. Two one run games. In both of the one run games, game tying home run balls fell short late in the game.

So, this just wasn’t our year? Heck naw! This was a fantastic year and I’m sure that everyone feels it down to our bones. Amazing.

As Clint Hurdle said: there are no excuses in Rockies Nation and no crying.

I’m currently in the tattoo artist’s office getting an 18 inch rendition of Matt Holliday’s chin slide on my back. My brother is painting his van with a Dragonslayer triptych. My parents are re-landscaping their back yard to look like the center field rock pile diorama to Coors. Rockies fans are holding their heads high for the first time in a long time.

In other words, the Rockies are back!!!!

In Denver, the Crips wear the Colorado Rockies hat, in combination with their trademark blue bandana, to identify themselves around town. So the Bloods are now really having a tough time deciding who to shoot and have given up. It’s about time. Thanks everyone for chipping in.

So three cheers for a fantastic season! Yorvit: I never knew I loved ya so much. Matt Holliday: Wow. Clutch. Superman. Todd Helton: thanks for staying. Thanks for playing. Thanks for bringing back the mountain man goatee. Ubaldo: you WILL win the Cy Young one year. You WILL win 20 games. You are star! Troy Tulo: great year, bad World Series, but you’ve become a leader and will become a superstar shortstop. Fogg and Francis – keep fighting. Manny Corpas: the Rocks have a world class closer!

This team is stacked. This team has made it to the mountaintop and they are young. I can’t wait till spring training. I can’t wait till opening day. I can’t wait to watch these guys grow. They have the skills and the confidence and the will.

Great year! Thanks everybody.
