Sturgeon's Law

I haven't written much about sports on here recently, but I'm rooting for the Colorado Rockies tonight in their one-game playoff against the Padres to get into the actual MLB playoffs. The Rockies won 13 of their last 14 games to come almost out of nowhere and tie the Padres for the NL Wild Card berth. This is almost certainly the best team the Rockies have ever put together. Good hitting almost across the board, a strong bullpen, and a ragtag bunch of starters with a legit near-ace in Jeff Francis. I'm going to be thumping the Todd-Helton-for-the-Hall-of-Fame drum when he retires in 5-7 years.
