Postseason!

Ah! October! The one month of the year where baseball overshadows football. Filled with rabid anticipation, wild uncertainty, and heart-pounding tension! Where underdogs are bound to leap on top! Where dreams begin and legends are born! Where one small mistake could cost the glory of winning for the agony of defeat! This is it! This is where teams make or break there fan’s hearts! This is where cities come together – in joy or in sorrow. This is where kids experience in their hearts the magic of baseball. It gives you every chance you have to be great, and then it puts every pressure on you to prove you haven’t got what it takes! You can’t just sit on a lead and kill the clock. You gotta throw the ball over the plate and give the enemy a chance! And when the ball meets the bat, damn, if you don’t feel like you’re going to live forever! It’s postseason! It’s the home of young heroes, new underdogs, and experienced legends! And home to your National League Wild Card Champions, the COLORADO ROCKIES!

And Congrats to Jim Tracy, the National League Manager of the year! After taking over a team that was 18-28 with Clint Hurdle, Tracy led the Rockies to being 22 games over .500 and National League Wild Card Champions!
