Fortunately, I've also been too busy to catch more than 2 or 3 quarters of the NBA Finals, so I was happy to have missed seeing the results. Glad to see LA can riot when good things happen in their city as well. Now they just need to find a time to riot when things are just running along like normal.
Now, onto more important topics. ROCKJUNEBER! With the starting pitchers finally starting to show what we expected from them and more (Marquis and Hammel), the relievers showing some consistency and the bats starting to warm up, the team has finally gone on a run that puts them right back into the playoff picture. Another sub-par season similar to last year and all of the goodwill brought on by the 2007 run would have been gone.
The only problem I see is that I'm not sold on Jim Tracy and this is the type of run that could solidify his position as manager. I'm never a fan of retread coaches who weren't terribly successful the first few times around, so I'm hoping this is a different story. Anyway, here's to hoping the Rockies can keep this up!
Question of the week: Would a 110 game winning streak set a new record?
