Here Come The Rocks

After a 2-9 road trip after the All Star break and losing 2 home games to the putrid Pirates, one might suspect the Rockies were toast.
Well, they salvaged the third game of the home stand against Pittsburgh and today completed a 3-game sweep of the Cubs 8-7. So, a 4-2 home stand so far with San Fran in on Tuesday.
I'm still pumped up over last night's game when Carlos Gonzalez belted a walk-off bomb in the 9th to hit for the cycle and give the Rockies a dramatic 6-5 win over Chicago.
After the game, Gonzalez said he was "just looking to get on base." He lied. He was looking to crank and he did. Into the upper deck. One of the best home run swings I've ever seen. It was measured at 462 feet and if there was no obstruction, the ball would have gone well over 500 feet.
I was sitting in the Coors Field press box with Casey Bloyer and we just looked at each other with the "holy crap did you see that" look on our faces.
Like cockroaches, you can't kill off these Rockies.
