Man, have I been just flat out down in the dumps the last couple of days. I feel this way because of the end of baseball, especially the way it ended.
To preface, I have been a Rockies' fan for as long as any other Rockie fan (which isn't that much of an accomplishment, since 1993) and they just totally blew me away.
I preached back in August that it would be so cool if the Rockies were just playing meaningful baseball in September. Well they did. I wished that they could be in the playoff picture for a while in September, they did. The last Saturday of the month of September, I conceded that they made a heck of a run. A TGJ triple and all of a sudden the last Sunday was actually a pretty important Sunday. All falls into place for a one game playoff. I comment that with the run the Rockies had been on, we are blessed to watch them one more time. I go on to say that exact same thing for the next 11 ballgames.
The Rockies gave me the feeling that many have already felt the past 100 plus years. I now know what it is like to live on every pitch of every game. I now know what it is like to be sleep deprived staying up late. The Rockies gave me the opportunity to go to a real World Series game, holy cow, what an experience. But now the run is over. What a run, and I can't help but feel a little withdrawn and depressed. Depressed to think I have to wait 4 months for spring training.
