As the playoffs arrive some fans baseball seasons have ended so who do you root for? The Yanks? D-Backs? BoSox? Even the Angles? Before the playoffs I jumped on the bandwagon of being a Rockies fan because finally they were doing great. Now I have a new reason to root for them and not only because of their hot wining streak or the numbers that are put up or who's on the team and so do you.
Mike Coolbaugh died after a line drive hit him. He left behind a very pregnant wife and 2 little boys 5 and 3.
After a team vote done completely on their own the Rockies as a team have decided to give Mikes wife a full share of the Rockies playoff money winings. This means whatever money the Rockies make in the playofss 110% of that is going to her and the kids.
This to me was the most thoughtful thing I have seen in a while.
So dont root for the Rockies just because. If you have to have a reason to root for them other then because they are just there or whos on the team or whatever. Root for them because this was the classiest thing to happen to baseball in a long time.
With all the drama with the steriods this year it was refreshing to know that there is still something positive in baseball and for what the Rox are doing other then wining I will forever and always be a fan.
I should be ashamed of myself, but I am not. In my little paragraph I say I dont like baseball because the Rockies suck. I have been to a few games and they were fun and I rooted for them when I went. But as the Rockies are on a great roll they made me insert my foot in my mouth because lets be honest how bad can you suck if you are in the playoffs? I sat and watched the entire game on monday against San Diego and I got exctied that they won like I have been a fan my entire life. I didnt watch the game yesterday but I did go online to see if they won. Now I am ashamed that I put my foot in my mouth and now even more so because I jumped on the bandwagon. Not only did I jump on the wagon but I am also going to watch the game today. Work came to a complete standstill and even the Broncos have jumped on the wagon. John #### himself is a San Diego fan and he jumped on the wagon. Not only did we jump on it but I am sure all of Colorado has jumped on the wagon. I have never been a wagon jumper until now. Maybe the Broncos will feed off the energy and start playing better. Maybe.
I am 22 and I am a huge Broncos and Avalanche fan cant say the Rockies suck anymore and I never got into basketball. I should probably go and change my favorites seems how some of the people where here when I first started blogging in 2005 and they are not here anymore but I just choose not to right now.
