Re: It's tough being a Rockies fan . . .
Congrats!
I stayed up and watched until the end. It was a well called game behind the plate but the front office reviews were obviously slanted for a Cubs win.
My wife and I were in Denver over the weekend visiting our granddaughter (and our daughter and her husband, but let's be honest, no granddaughter no visit). Anyway, my son-in-law is a huge Rockies fan so we watched, unfortunately, most of the games this past weekend, and on Monday. I'm glad to see the Rockies advance, but I wish they could have earned the division championship.

WooHOO! We watched while at trivia, but my (Rockies fan) son was the only one of us who stayed for the duration.

Boonie and I fell asleep on our respective recliners.
It was 1-0 Rockies when I fell asleep.

11 p.m. is a little late for SteelersFan, but he made it to that final out. Just another way it's tough to be a RockiesFan.mellytu74 wrote:Boonie and I fell asleep on our respective recliners.

Actually, I believe that is a case of "purple mange." First, the fur goes purple, then it falls out in clumps...SportsFan68 wrote:How cute! A purple squirrel! No mange on that one, I'll bet.
