"W" is for Win

The Rockies got one when they needed it the most - in 13 agonazing innings of play. I thought yesterday's game was a nail-biter....nothing like today's. To make a really long story short, the score was tied 6-6 going into the 13th inning. San Diego hit a 2-run homer in the top of the 13th, and at that point, I though it was over. But the game wasn't over for the Rockies. After a double, and then an RBI double, an RBI triple, and a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 13th, they managed to squeeze out a 9-8 victory over San Diego. This secured the NL Wild Card title and they head to Philly in a couple days to play the first game of the NLDS. This is huge!! First time the Rockies have gone to the post-seaon since 1995. The best part about it for us is that most of the postseason games are broadcast live on TV here, so we get to watch the games for real, all the way on the other side of the world. How incredible is this?!
