Went to the Rockies game today and there were an awful lot of people wearing red Phillies gear. In the past, many Cubs and Cardinals fans made their way into Coors Field when those teams were in town. But I don't remember that many Phillies fans going to Rockies games. But, with the best record in baseball, the Phils are getting all the bandwagon jumpers. I have a hard time respecting people who suddenly become fans of teams that win. I have much more respect when a fan admits that he likes the Cubs, Orioles or Astros or some other hapless and hopeless team.
Anyway, although he didn't pitch a gem, I felt good for Roy Halladay as he picked up his 14th win. He's a Colorado native and pitched at nearby Arvada West High School. I believe it was only his second game at Coors Field since he spent so many years in the American League with Toronto.
Also, Brad Lidge, who went to Cherry Creek High School in Colorado picked up his first save of the season.
So it was a good day for a couple of Colorado guys against Colorado.
