It's October baseball!!! But not the kind we were hoping for. This may be the last game we can "believe" in this year. I'd like to see Tommy Hanson finish strong.

The Rockies just clinched.

Give em hell tonight, Tommy.

Well heck-fire...

…I didn’t realize they were playing this afternoon. I’m sort of glad I didn’t know.

Let’s get started on our next winning streak.

Indeed, it WILL be us.

Yes, be happy you didn’t know. It was sad when they clinched the WC. I still held out hope, even though I knew deep down, it probably wasn’t going to happen.

I’m looking forward to next year, when we start the streak of winning the East, once again!

excellent. my feelings about it as well. they were way down at 34-40, but got up off the deck and really made a great run at it.
Now, they need to finish strong.
And I really want to see a strong start by Hanson tonight – he still has a legit shot at the ROY.

Personally, I refuse to eat fish of any kind until Spring Training.

I’m here to enjoy the last 4 games to the fullest because for me it will be a long winter without baseball and I’ll be counting the days until April.

I hope Tommy has a great game tonight and Chipper ends the year with those 20 homers to set the ML record of 15 straight years doing so.

that’ll be easy for me, i hate fish anyway

i’d like to see the old man hit 20 HR, i’d like to see them finish with 90 wins, and today i’d like to see tommy keep his ERA below 3

I would be too. It must be deflating to play so well for most of the month and then have it all rendered moot in the span of 48 hours.
