I don't think I'll stand for this headline:
ROCKIES 5, METS 3
Mets Stumble Over the League's Doormat
By LEE JENKINS
The Mets sat through a 1 hour 42 minute rain delay and then a 5-3 loss to Colorado, baseball's youngest and worst team.
I happen to LOVE our Rockies. And more bad news in the article-- Todd Helton, our Hot Toddy and the only reason this team EVER scores, seems to have hurt his leg. Ceeeerap.
I am faithful to the end. We will never be the Yankees as we don't have the money to be spoiled, let alone bloody opulent in our choices of players. But this adds charm and makes our boys all the more lovable. The Yankees are a devouring, thousands-of-years-old monster, and the Rockies are just the small-town young kid who'll never make it in the real world (as evidenced by our major-league performance), but who the town all thinks is the best thing ever. We've got character.
(and the Red Sox are the hero that everyone in the small town is silently cheering for, because they all know that HE can send the monster back into hiding for the winter.)
Although the article explained that the "young" (as the Diamondbacks were created after the Rockies) referred to the number of rookies and the age of the players, not the team.
YAY, the rockies won!
